And it's not even a tight race. Went to uni in London and lived there for years and years and family is in Lancashire - I have experienced its worst and best. Anna its best is worse than everywhere else.

When we moved out of London my main stipulation on where we looked was "absolutely not on a Euston line" so in the end I bought not only a car but also house with avoiding Euston in mind.

I literally - in the original meaning of the word - bought a car to avoid travelling through Euston. It's an absolute hole and the only solution to it is more platforms and rebuilding the whole blasted thing. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Fwiw that's what we do for new student events at work. They are wrapped so hygenic, they last, they fit with a large number of dietary requirements and people love them. Pretty sure this is what we get - www.swizzels.com/shop/sweets/...

I get requests for non working days a lot but only from people outside my team who I couldn't expect to remember. I have them properly blocked out in Outlook but I guess people don't always use Scheduler 🤷 Very annoying when it's your manager though.
