My partner worked through this and most of the food ordered under “eat out to help out” went in the bin.

Whatever happens, this design choice will not be missed by anyone.

Anyway whatever happens to the GBR brand I’m sure Nick Ferrari is currently sinking back into his made up memories of the 1970s with tales of how British Rail made awful sandwiches and was always late.

I’m no designer, but I’m fairly sure train liveries should flow down the whole train.

It’s a no from me.

For context as a country we should be absolutely pouring every single pound into supporting young people.

If you want a better country, if you want a stronger economy, if you want to support everyone of any age that’s how you do it, that’s where it starts.
I do wish British Governments would stop blaming young people.

What a fucking awful policy.

Do something good. Donate to your local food bank.

And write to your MP to let them know just how furious you are at them needing to exist in our society.
Just done something for my birthday that left me feeling good and bad together.

I donated £50 worth of food & sanitary supplies to my local food bank. I felt good to be helping out, just felt bad, no, I felt angry that there is a need for this. We are a wealthy country. No one should have to rely/1

Pat Butcher takes control of Crossroads Motel, burns it down for the insurance money, flees to Spain.

Meanwhile that guy that’s always been in Hollyoaks, moves to Albert Sq, murders everyone and also flees to Spain, meets Pat and they have an affair.
