    It seems utterly ridiculous. JĖŒjust to park at bloody car at a provincial railway station. Perhaps better to just park the car, and then ignore any follow-ups as being "sorry, I'm not on line". Personally, I'm sick of these functions which are...

    We're quite lucky in that we haven't any cables between High Rocks and Groombridge that need to go over the bridge. It is rather a plain structure that'll now be gradually paid off over two years and fade into memory as a significant project...
