Hi Carlo - it is most definitely Bolton (Trinity Street) railway station - I use it quite regularly.

Yes, ofcourse, if it as on private property, then there is a case (the private property ideally should have a notice to that effect. Apart from the above, I see absolutely no problem whatsoever - and yes, I am speaking as a parent. Genuine complaints = fair enough. Annonymous complaints -...

IMO 3/4 length trousers/shorts look silly on ANY age person, as does trousers that are too long, the majority of the trousers congragating around the shoes. The same goes for sleeves that are too long - they remind me of years ago when children were put into jackets etc with sleeves too long...

James Last.

H & S has been mentioned a number of times - I suppose then it is ok for a member of staff to take a risk, but not a member of the public? Where I live (Bolton) quite some time BEFORE the goverment brought in its austerity measures, it was decided that public toilets would be closed. Fairly...

Many years ago, when I was in charge of a local government office, a security guard (who was collecting cash to put into the van) was shot point blank in the face by a guy with a shotgun, and died almost instantly leaving a new wife (who was pregnant). I was feeling all sorts of emotions...

First of all, I do hope that the injections work well for you and soon. I have asked this question before (no answer as yet) but what does "chuffing" and "bint" mean? Get well soon, and best wishes for the future.

For many years I used to holiday in Bulgaria (had friends who lived there). Every hotel I ever stayed in had no plug for the plug hole in the bathroom wash basin, and at the time a bath tub was extremely rare. My friends explained to me the reason was that a shower was more hygenic, and a bath...

Along with everyone else on here, I would hope that your wife gets over it as soon as possible. Unfortunately the punishment would seem to make little difference to these scumbags. For what it is worth IMO, I would have them punished in what ever way PLUS I would have each of these thugs given...

Hi Splog, Thats a fair point you make. But tell me - What does "Chuffing" mean? Thanks.

I have nothing but praise and admiration for the wedding photographer. Until last year (now retired - yippee) I was the photographer with a monthly magazine. The job was a walk in the park compared to that of a wedding tog. The reasons I have is some time ago I rashly agreed to assist a pro...

My first digital camera was and still is a Nikon D50. I submitted my portfolio to a long-established monthly magazine (all taken with the D50 plus a Tamron 28-300 lens incidently, which since putting the lens on when I first got the camera, I have never removed). As a result I was offered a...

I have not got a clue Candlestick - I believe in our case the bill for labour and piping was about £500 - yes I know thats a lot of money but, in our case: (1) the old fire had to be disconnected and removed, and (2) rather a lot of brickwork had to be removed, thus making a 'hole' and (3)...

Hi Mr Candlestick, We (the Mrs and I) live near Manchester - Bolton to be exact. We had a 'hole in the wall' gas fire fitted nearly 12 months ago - to replace a very old surface mounted fire. The company that did the job was: Lee Spencer Fireplaces, their mobile is 07775 726 286 - They are...
