Tried to do my good Samaritan bit today and rushed over to help an elderly woman who had fallen over, .... I did find out however that she was about ten years younger than me!
Reminds me of a cousin of my mother who used to go on about "Taking the old folk to the day centre"Ā He was in his 80s and many of them hadn't reached 70.
Brilliant headline today "Coronavirus causes CHAOS (their caps) on the Coronation Street cobbles as star placed in isolation".
Read the actual article and the first paragraph reads "Cast member took decision to self isolate. They have not been to work. There is no disruption to filming"
Can anybody find any correlation between the headline and the actual article apart from the fact that CV is potentially involved?
Just had another look at the on-line paper and the story has been changed out of all recognition.Ā If you had read all the comments taking the p out of the article it's not difficult to understand why
Ā You're dead right about Holloway being steep @raisingirl, as are most of the hills around Bath. I well remember my first driving lesson when the instructor drove me to halfway up Bathwick Hill, then told me to do my first ever hill start, saying that if anybody learnt to drive in Bath, then they could drive anywhere! I managed somehow despiteĀ being absolutely petrified!
Oh isn't happy tonight, left Southampton at 2 pm on a bus to Salisbury as there no trains are running between the cities due to a landslide in one of the recent storms. Got to Salisbury station to find that the substitute buses weren't timetabled to coincide with the trains so had to wait another hour. Then his particular carriage weren't told the train wasn't stopping at Bath after all so he ended up at Bristol Temple Meads, where he had to wait for a train back to Bath and a taxi home! Arrived here at nearly 7 pm. You couldn't make it up could you. Five hours to travel maybe 60-70 miles.

Normally Hosta, we get quite a good service from London to Bristol on the main line but to go cross country has always been a bit of a nightmare. Hopefully (if it ever happens) some of the axed Beeching lines may stage a comeback but I'll believe it when I see it.
