When you get an email from @TravelodgeUK saying youโve found a great hotel (it is) at a great price (it most certainly isnโt!)

Credit where Credit is due - Well done Lads
Three schoolboys, just 12, 13 and 14, acted heroically by stopping to help a stranger in distress on their way home.
Shawn Young, Devonte Cafferkey and Sammy Farah were walking home from St Maryโs High School in Cheshunt when they spotted a man in distress on an overpass in Waltham Cross.
Devonte and Sammy grabbed the manโs arms as he edged towards the edge. Shawn shouted for help and waved at passing motorists.
Two passersby quickly rushed over to help hold the man until emergency services arrived. Later, the boys were honoured by the Royal Humane Society for their bravery.
As Devonte put it: "We could not have lived with ourselves if we had kept walking."

I'm so unlucky. I picked up my dream car this morning, a beautiful Ferrari 812 Superfast, and less than 4 hours later I lost control on a sharp bend and stacked it. The damage is extensive and Iโm just so angry. Not as angry as the guy who left it in our valet parking is going to be, but not far off.

Why not visit out Food Court? And once you've finished paying, why not visit our Bankruptcy Court?

Sewage systems were once beautiful.
Crossness Pumping Station, London, UK, opened in 1865.
Cyclists ignoring traffic regulation, whoโd have thoughtโฆ๐
How about security stood at each end with fishing wire and pulling it taut as they try to go past. Would make for some good entertainmentโฆ.
Cyclists are continuing to ride along the newly pedestrianised section of Oxford Street, despite being asked to dismount.
Around seven security staff have been stationed near Oxford Circus, calling out to cyclists to get off their bikes, with mixed success.

It is now 37 years ago that the last episode of #Blackadder Goes Forth was screened. This TV gold concluded 3 hrs of unmatched of comedy to many of us. But there was a deeper message throughout encapsulated in this moving final scene.
