Alep...Thank you so much for taking time to comment. Aleppo is just heartbreaking, it is always the children and vulnerable that suffer regardless of the rights or wrongs of the cause. <br />I'm sure the rail company haven't considered the effect on disabled passengers removing guard from trains, it's hard enough to use public transport without making it impossible. I feel they are only looking for more profit and not happy customers or staff. <br />We are lucky with fireworks as it isn't too bad where I live but I do have friends who suffer for weeks either side of Nov 5th and New Year, anything would really help them.

It's awful the way the entire country has been treated.<br />I've never really trusted Facebook for news, and in fact me and some of my FB friends do mock it, we sarcastically say when reporting something daft...it must be true, Facebook said so. I really don't think Facebook should police it all though, I'm sure it would be an impossible task anyway. You are right about the newspapers being the biggest perpetrators of false news though, I never read them these days.<br />I believe the Southern Rail strike will continue to spread if they do not reconsider their choices. I know a lot of regular passengers will not be affected but as a wheelchair user I don't know if I would use a train without a guard. I need a lot of help getting on board and I'm not sure that would be available like it is now because in smaller stations it's the guard that gets me on and off the train. As I say, I've not really looked into this fully but I guess I should if it does spread to other networks.<br />I'm totally with you on the fireworks. We don't go to big displays anymore because of my autistic daughter, but I love them and the noise. However, it is unfair that people feel they can let off fireworks at times around those big events disturbing everyone.<br /><br />Great round-up of thoughts :) Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922568143111623696noreply@blogger.com
