Air Safety?!?!

Over the past few days, I have been thinking how safe is flying. First, the crash landing at Heathrow some months ago, the the landing in the Hudson River. This has been followed by a mid-air collison by to light aircraft from the RAF over Wales and now the crash in Buffalo, NY and the landing at London City airport yesterday.

All this is enough to make me not want to fly again!

Drinking on the trains

Having recently been unlucky enough to catch the same train as most of the away fans coming to watch Lincoln City's match with Chester, I noticed how many of the visiting supporters (and some home supporters coming from nearby Newark) were drink alcohol on the train. I personally have no problem with it as long as it does not lead to trouble on the train or at the ground, but I am surprised that drinking alcohol on public transport is still allowed, especially after the move of Boris Johnson banning it on the London Underground and bus networks, and many town centres around the county being alcohol free zones.
Many of those drinking looked to be young lads, some of whom looked to me to be underage. The conductors have no power to ask them to stop drinking unless they are upset other passengers, so if they see someone who could be underage, there is no power to check or ask them to stop - which personally I think is ridiculous!
Another amusing thing is one group of the Chester supporters that were on the train from Derby as well as the one to Lincoln could not stop going to the loo on the total of 1 hour 30 mins journey - I have never seen so many people use the loo so often!!!
