    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Must have been some big promises from pensioners around productivity improvements to get an above inflation raise!

    Spurs Tickets

    I'd prefer it to be as cheap as possible but we have to be realistic. Are people really expecting a game against Spurs to be the game they decide to implement discounted tickets?

    Pretty sure Swift has used dynamic pricing in the past. She's also used what they call slow ticketing, which is setting face value of tickets so high shows only sell out right before the event, often when some of the tickets are discounted. This is going to be the problem with any sort of...

    Southport Stabbing

    Looks more like its an idea from the Estonian side. There's older articles from a couple of weeks ago where one of their ministers talks about offering out their spare prison capacity to generate income. Can't imagine it would be cheap but something has to be done. Not sure how long we can run...

    How would that work, wouldn't you have to staff them with British prison officers? We hardly have loads of those spare.

    Ticketmaster have never given ticket pricing information in the queue whether dynamic pricing is in place or not. Always pissed me off as for a lot of tours there's zero pricing released before hand. Helps them jack the prices up and have people panic buy. Would be nice to see some changes, and...

    Cancelled flight compensation

    That’s useful, will have to do some digging when I’m back. Just kind of seems common sense that if they say they can’t get you home on the day you’ve booked and paid for then they should have to cover the cost of someone else doing it but things are never that straightforward

    Oasis Reunion

    You can play anything you like. What you should actually do at any level is fill in a form with the set list and songwriters and that goes off to the performing rights society here which is linked to similar societies worldwide. Then the songwriters, or whoever owns the rights, gets paid their...

    Where do I sign up 😂 Always found it a bit odd you never hear a thing about her locally. We celebrate a band like the Enemy but not someone local who plays arenas worldwide

    Cancelled flight compensation

    Seems to be a few things they should do but don’t actually bother When they wanted to move me to a BA flight later in the week they didn’t even offer to sort accommodation Looks like they make people arrange things themselves then make the system for compensation pretty complicated Seeing...

    Cancelled flight compensation

    Yeah, that’s my next thing to check when I get home Logically you’d think if you’ve had to pay out an extra £600 to get home you should be able to get it back somehow

    Cancelled flight compensation

    Cheers, it seems to be that if they offer you another flight, no matter when it is, they’re covered for everything but the £200 compensation Pretty annoying but is it a surprise that the systems loaded in their favour

    Cancelled flight compensation

    Anybody know anything about this? BA cancelled my flight home today, literally just sent a text last night saying it was cancelled. They rebooked me on a flight later this week as everything else is full but I need to be back at work tomorrow. Had to book with another airline so I’m £600 down...
