Hope they've done their due diligence,  good chance they've paid millions for a fleet of very leggy Avensis and Almeras..

This presents a huge opportunity for continued growth for the transportation vertical within the MBH portfolio which we’re proud to be a part of.

Had the same thought. Heading off to the moon ? A Harrier ? Helicopter ?

Going forwards he's looking to team seamlessly across nodalities, synergistically leveraging flexible platforms to deliver joy.

Taxis are going to take people from where they are to where they want to go, hopefully the seats won't be sticky.

Our local council had the brilliant* idea of buying the freehold of an out-of-town retail park. Recently. Then no Maplin, and Office Outlet failed. Great* decision. Then, covid.

Our council bought Bootle New Strand. 

Fuckwittery beyond stupidity.

To put that into context and no offence to anyone that lives in Bootle.  It's a shit hole, in a shit hole. The demographic of the likely customers of its facilities are not erm great. Given much better shopping just 10 minutes away in Liverpool, and the benefit class demographic of the locals, I feel my council tax has been wasted somewhat. 

If you are not from the area: 

On 12th Feb 1993 it became famous for all the wrong reasons. 

(Also my 26th birthday)

My former employers had an office in the Triad building in Bootle. I had to attend a meeting there and found it to be a horribly depressing  place. I was told many staff suffered from "Sick Building Syndrome" and the building itself had concrete cancer.

They are moving to the India Building in Liverpool, but that seems to be blighted with asbestos. Out of the frying pan...

The Home Office Nationality Directorate used to be in the India Building. That's decades' worth of asbestos...

They’ve really lost the plot. There’s a very nice 1980s 6 series outside my work at the moment( highline I don’t know) that looks very smart and understated. I loved watching spencer for hire back when I was a teenager.

The time to be worried in a prostate exam is when you feel both his hands on your shoulders.
