This link explains how to validate your tram tickets. How do i validate my ticket?

When me and my mates first went to Florida 34 years ago, we just booked a fly/drive. By not having a plan, these types of holidays can be the best. My first trip to Thailand was in 1999, again, all I done was book a flight, then just went with the flow.

For the last 3 years we’ve had Wasps nest up in our attic , not last year but the 2 years previous . My OH says they take would from outside from rotting wood, take some water from a pond or any other water bucket , mix it and takes it back to the nest to make it , not from your rafters. We’ll...

I have no disdain for 'pathways'. I just don't agree with the complete lack of flexibility or consideration for the individual human being that is the patient, and that is not just a statistic. The pathways might be the best for most people in most circumstances. I don't know. I'm not a doctor....

I must admit there are times when I'm tempted by the expensive options, but my cheap and simple approach does what I need it to. I don't really need improved accuracy, it's just for personal interest. I started off wanting to know if we really were in a rainfall "black hole" or whether it was my...

That is exactly the problem, in your case your passport won't be accepted in the EU after September 2034 ! It hasn't 'expired' it will show expired date of June 2035.

I would never rent our house out. We have got it really nice, the garden too and wouldn't trust anyone else to live in it. My son owns two houses and rents one out - he had terrible tenants even though they were vetted and both working. They eventually were put out and left a mess behind them -...

Very sad news for all our Royal family ...Our King and the Princess of wales....wishing them a speedy recovery and all those families out there that have been dealt such a blow.

Thank you @Perki , @roders and @Michael Hewett Yes I've had a lovely day thanks Michael.

I went on a school trip in that bit of term after taking my 'O'levels, and it was absolutely amazing and one of the treasured experiences of my life (honestly!). I stood at the despatch boxes and sat on the wool sack - don't think you get to do that any more... My daughter is doing politics...

There're such a lot of 'covid era' dogs in rescue centres. People bought them during lockdown and the dogs, especially puppies didn't get to be socialised. These dogs have terrible anxiety, not surprising when they were treated as toys when puppies. They just can't understand why they've gone...
