    Thanks all! It's cost me £30 in trains and taxis (no other way!) But I'm here ~an hour early. I'd probably have to move house and would definitely have to buy a car, and I really don't know if I want all that faff. Beggars can't be choosers though!

    First world problems eh?;)

    Good luck though!

    We've been with Npower on and off, but mostly on, for years

    Blimey ... it's not cheap, the job-hunting lark, is it.

    And that's after you've jumped through multiple hoops to apply in the correct way and spent 3-4 hours going over their website to find out what they do in case they trip you up in the interview and expect you to know :)

    You'll be out soon .... fingers crossed and all that.

    I wouldn't use today's travel conditions as the norm. Tube strike means there is far more traffic on the road than usual, plus big accident on A41 and part of M25 closed.....

    And of course, with a car it would cost a lot less and take less time, (in normal traffic conditions).

    Traveling into this bit of inner herts on a weekday morning by car from the south takes forever on any day the schools are open.
    I think....

    If you can get your head around this one, it's very bizarre. Double murder in Aus.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_of_Karlie_Pearce-Stevenson_and_Khandalyce_Pearce

    In short/to help:

    KPS has baby and leaves home town.
    KPS appears to have made friends with a couple who are then involved in a car crash and the woman's two children are killed and the woman has her leg amputated.

    It looks like KPS/baby were then murdered and the body's kept somewhere while the legless woman & boyfriend continue to use her phone to text her family and to collect her social security payments.

    KPS' mother died in 2012, so there's nobody actively trying to find her and the baby.

    In 2010 KPS' body was dumped/found; in 2015 the baby's body was dumped in a different area of Australia, but, after some time, the two deaths were identified and linked.
