Suprised noone has mentioned http://theyworkforyou.com/
A great site, find out exactly what your MP is doing in parliment, what their political stance on major issues is, and how much money they're claiming in expenses. Also links to various other sites with useful sources of information.0 -
good for all us non drivers out there. allows you to search for your region in the uk to find local bus timetables x http://timetables.showbus.co.ukYour greatness is measured by your kindness; your education and intellect by your modesty; your ignorance is betrayed by your suspicions and prejudices, and your real caliber is measured by the consideration and tolerance you have for others.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already but Dictionary.com is really comprehensive when it comes to looking up stuff. There's also a linked Thesaurus on thereFormer MSE team member0

Thanks for post but would just like to say that upmystreet and familyrecords both charge if you actually want to access the information, so far I've spent £14 - some things are free but if you want concrete info they want dosh. The census one is particularly misleading as every time you click on an address its 75p and a name is 50p, when you don't have all the information and lots of names to choose from this can become very expensive, also on the census (familyrecords) you only get 7 days to use up what you have paid - minimum £5Ooh, I've gotta little star! What's that for then?!!0 -
Thanks for all the links, has really helped me0
