I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Conservatism is believing Romford is still in Essex 60 years after it became part of London.

Did Euston to Piccadilly and back today. £95 now due from Delay Repay.

This. Went Euston - Manchester and back today and Real Train Times was more up to date than the info provided to the Avanti crew

Everyone should learn about opportunity cost

To Manchester!

Loving that Richmond is a subset of two others, and used to be part of a third.

A Wagamama lunch cost me £50 for two on a half term trip to Portsmouth. Next time will be a Tesco meal deal.

AJP Taylor - not a referencing guy

I went to CAMRA revitalisation meeting a decade ago - I was no spring chicken, but easily the youngest there.
