And let us not forget of course that if a UK Westminster government (of whatever political hue) should decide to restrict free bus passes to those of state pension age and then only to those in greatest need ( and how would that be determined? how much would that cost to adminster?) then this would not apply to the whole of the UK. Remember those other countries presently (presently!) making up ...
I wonder just for how long our local Dawlish Town 186 bus service would last if the pensioner bus pass was taken away? It comes along my road and it so happens that I live opposite one of its unofficial stops. Most (although admittedly not all) of the people I see on it and getting off/on it appear to be old enough to be bus pass holders. If I had a bus pass now (and time was, and not so long ...
@b.o.liking - pretty sure that the issue of education (tuition fees) and health (nhs) are devolved powers therefore the members of the scottish parliament would have decided on those charges - or lack of them.

After all N.Ireland and Wales have their own assemblies and devolved powers, and Scotland is well on its way to becoming either totally independent or devo max independent. Have thought for ages that somehow the English seem to have missed out on all this decentralisation of power. Wonder what, if anything, the main political parties will have to say about English self determination in their ...

When I was in Exeter earlier this week I found myself (along with quite a few others) rooted to the pavement listening to some lovely guitar music (sounded Spanish) being played by a street musician. I was so impressed I asked him for his details. Do a search on his name - Stripey Howling Hancock and you will find links. He is definitely a crowd puller. Stripey Howling Hancock, Tel: ...
