"An excellent independent Italian."

"A good regional theatre with good shows and the ice cream is less of a rip off than usual."

"Need to get to London early? The first two trains of the day classify as off peak. So if you can make the 5:50 or 6:11 you can save money!"

"If you are boarding coach A or B then walk via platform 3 it's shorter!"

"The platform 1 to London & the overtaking tips are *generally* true. But in times of major disruption anything can happen, and it's first out not first in the the overtaking rule."

"The owner often buys end of line stuff cheap and in bulk. Be warned the really cheap stuff is often short dated."
