Weird I always thought the "rent boys" thing was a dig at Chelsea because they don't own Stamford Bridge - surely they aren't turning this into a homophobic attack to support the rainbow laces campaign after 40 years?

Lol.

My good deed done for the day.

I was at Iceland yesterday afternoon and I was behind an old lady in the queue. Her shopping came to £47.76 but when she counted her money she only had just under £40. I thought that she was probably someone's granny and I’d like to think that someone would have helped my granny . She didn't want me to help her but I insisted and in no time at all we had all her shopping back on the shelves.

Nice to see Arsenal got a new manager bounce today. Norwich must be gutted.

@john-folan WHAT!!! Thats mental!!

Absolutely crazy. They tried to charge someone else £16 for a £4 fare and £46 for a £10. All different nights. They will rob people blind given half a chance.

Berlin has just banned them I can see. Safety issues. Basically what they do is one member of the family get a licence then they all use it so you have no idea who you are really getting. Plus they cancel their hire and reward insurance and take out direct line social and domestic. It saves them £1000 a year but it also means they aren’t insured if they have an accident.

I know of one bloke who’s daughter got one to Liverpool Street in one and by the time she had got to Stratford he was texting her asking her out. She was 16!!!

But they are cheaper apparently.

@john-folan Mental isn't it, they actively came into cities and down right did everything they could to get customers.

Their peak pricing automatic pricing increase has got them in so much trouble before as well when things happen and people want to get to a place or away they ramp up the pricing.

So I live in Brentwood and a cab fare to Billericay is about £12-£15 on average. On a busy Saturday night Uber charge £100 plus!!! Best bit is people pay it lol

My son is doing ‘an inspector calls’. For his gcse English so we took him to watch the play last night as we thought it might help.

Anyone else seen it? Or the film? Curious look into society as it seems to me we are just going around in circles. It’s set in 1910, but a bit of a mirror of today where the rich(I’m looking at you Prince Andrew), think they can do what they want without consequences. It was written by a founder of the Labour Party so it has a bit of a socialist outlook, but was excellent. Made me think anyway.

I saw the vid of the bloke with the knife getting rid of his blow and then read this just now

"Other images show another bystander, who Sky News understands to be a plain-clothes police officer, carrying a large knife away from the scene."

Hey if a copper likes snort who are we to judge?

Actually it was a cheeseburger apparently
