This also compelled me to look up reading habits and I found out that I am a genuine weirdo when it comes to reading, LOL.

04.11.2025 16:51 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I agree in principle but twice in 2024 when going to appointments at the JR from Banbury I took the train into Oxford and the bus simply didnβt show up - and both times I had allotted getting there an hour early. I had to get a taxi. This is not workable for many.
