I think there was an accident there last year. A bus got shunted.

Most buses in that area used to start on various streets. Now they are all in the terminus. You have to be very careful. :-(

Gosh that is awful. There are lots of those glass shelters there, and it is always packed with people. :-(

One of my doggie walking friends said she got a slip put in her letter box from royal mail to say that there were two pieces of mail at the sorting office that didn't have the correct postage. She went to collect them and they wanted £5 each before they would give them to her....she asked to look at them and they were both circular letters....she told them to bin them :-| :-|

She said on the slip you could pay online and they would be delivered with her normal post. She is so pleased she didn't go down that route ...£10 for circulars :-| :-|

My SiL at Xmas put 3 cards into one envelope and when it arrived there was only the one card in the envelope....looks like someone thought there might have been something else in the envelope worth nicking:-| :-|
