Here we go, this 26-year-old man was fined £462.30 at Cheshire Magistrates' in September after he bought an 'anytime' ticket and used it before 10am. @northernassist brought this case in a private prosecution. Their own app will tell you this ticket can be used any time of day.
Anyone know if I'm allowed to travel any time of day using this ticket?

Right I have gone through the latest 20mph data for Wales and have made this video. However, I know many of you prefer a thread so I've done that as well. Long story short, 20mph seems to be working VERY well and is already paying for itself. [Thread]

Not just me accused of not behaviour! Thanks @TicketmasterUK
There has got to be a fairer, simpler, more efficient way of selling tickets that isn’t so open to touts, scammers, resellers & bots 🤯 #Oasis In the queue, out of the queue, refresh / don’t refresh, wait in line, back of the line, accused of being a bot… timed out 😵💫

When loons discover that parliaments are sovereign.
@alexharmstrong He has no power/authority to repeal Mana Carta 1297 - see the general saving clause which states that any laws made contrary to Magna Carta will be void and of no effect. Have you read Magna Carta 1297? You should as it binds every person in the land, including the Monarch:

Prior to Brexit, Greg could have relocated to this lovely country on a semi or permanent basis. Now, he can't spend more than 90 days in a 180 period there without a visa.
Win or lose, I always like to get to the Czech Republic 🇨🇿 for a post-Election break. A love for the country, its language and its people. Absolutely my favourite place to relax and get around. This time: České Budějovice, famous for its beer and Europe’s largest town square!

Great news from #Lancing, where parish council unanimously approved creation of a new path that separates foot and cycle traffic at busy point on #NCN2. Thanks @WSCCNews project managers, and Cllr @dizzymabil and her colleagues. (visual below borrowed from another similar scheme)
