learnincurve posted:Can I just add a "gently caress the train companies" in order to save money they cancelled the last late train that runs from London to Edinburgh, so the new last train goes before the theatres are finished. It's a big "hey northerners, want to see the latest and greatest west end play and then head on home? Well fuuuuuck you" I mean, if you're going all the way to Edinburgh you can get the sleeper which leaves just before midnight, but yeah, since you said the north I guess that's no use unless you stay in Carlisle. Though it doesn't run on Saturday nights which is also kind of total balls. But generally I agree, gently caress TOCs

Some way to request public records? they have 20 working days to respond and can refuse if the information is sensitive. last time I filed a request the company took all 20 of its 20 working days and then sent me a ream of info that didn't include what I wanted , then i asked them to review the request, they dragged that out and eventually I gave up because I got what I needed through other channels. They have ways of delaying or totally avoiding the FOI requests for quite a long while anyway is my point

If the bones and teeth have been exposed to sufficient heat for sufficient time all the DNA will be destroyed. Considering at least some of the people in the block won't have dental records on file, they are probably right that they'll never be able to identify everyone.

In the past, I've got the overnight megabus to Edinburgh when doing West End shows. But the last several times I've done a theatre trip to London, I've got the first flight on a Sunday morning from Gatwick up, and spent the night in the airport. Found a couple of sneaky places to charge my phone for free too, so I spent my night chatting poo poo online with some pals across the Atlantic. Flying ended up being pretty much as cheap (though adding on the train increased it a bit), and no stress about getting the first taxi on Shaftesbury Avenue after the show and having to run through the coach station or be stranded. Haven't been to the West End in 11 months  If anyone fancies getting me tickets for my birthday next month, I'll think of you while bawling my eyes out at Les Mis for the 25th time.Whimsicalfuckery posted:Whoa hey fellow north of Scotland goon.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Do y'all not have something equivalent to the freedom of information.act? Some way to request public records? Yes, it's the freedom of information act. Assuming you're asking about the tower fire, however, it won't get anything on the ongoing police/fire investigations, and requesting info on who lives in the tower might run into Data Protection Act concerns if you're trying to get specific info, and the same privacy problems apply to asking about who's applied for aid/been put up temporarily. Freedom of Information requests tend to provide the applicant with a massive amount of useless paper. It's "useful" for people asking a company for all of their information, as it gets around data protection concerns, but you'd still likely need a professional to pore through it all.

Things are a little more green and less heath-y down here but drat if I miss a good hill. Thanks for this, definitely gives me some ideas. Also I went back and edited my post because your quote made me realise I'd jammed the word week into the same sentence 3 times.

Here's a really annoying story, a Labour member who joined to support Corbyn ran against Amber Rudd as an independent, and got over 400 votes. In other words he probably cost Labour the seat, and saved the Tory home secretary. Yeah, he's been expelled. What a muppet.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Do y'all not have something equivalent to the freedom of information.act? Some way to request public records? There is a Freedom of Information Act, but guess what isn't covered by it? (it's 'reasons we refused your FoI request') e: just realised this is a bit misleading. Technically, a refusal can be taken to the Ombudsman, but that's literally one guy and, uh, speaking from experience his backlog is several years long so you can functionally ignore an FoI request unless you fear political/media consequences.

Julio Cruz posted:All the numbers floating around are really vague. The only quote the BBC has for the number of people living in the building is "400-600" (no loving way the council doesn't have a much more accurate number than that" and Kensington and Chelsea LBC says it's relocated "109 households" in hotels (which could be anywhere between 200 and 400 people). It's pretty clear that they don't want people doing their own maths of "x residents - y survivors = z victims".

It's not mentioned in the story but he didn't follow the selection procedures and then offered to stand for Labour in the seat only to have it pointed out that he hadn't followed the procedure (I think the candidate had even been selected by this point). He was so annoyed they wouldn't change the rules just for him that he ran himself, because he was the only one who could beat Amber Rudd. Idiot.
