Most of the time Arriva have McDonalds, don't usually get Burger King well not in County Durham and Darlington at least. Go North East usually have nothing.

I use GNE over both ANE & SNE - I'd say 10-1 odds? I've never seen any sort of surprise on the back of a GNE ticket.....

Never seen a voucher on the back of an Arriva ticket - only ever been on County Durham buses, like. I assume the Northumbria tickets are different?

In Sunderland, at least, it usually works out where there is always at least one on the go for McDonalds. When Stagecoach started doing Burger King instead of McDonalds, Go North East started with the McDonalds ones instead of having nothing.

Long convoluted story - but my Grandad and his two brothers were in different regiments during the Second World War.

For whatever reason, two ended up in DLI and my Grandad in Northumberland Fusiliers.

One in the DLI made it back, my Grandad made it back, but was ironically fighting in same battle in Italy as his brother - who he hadn't long seen.
Of all the battles in the world and for not seeing each other for years, they ended up fighting near each other. Unfortunately, the long lost brother was killed, not long after being reunited.

However, someone has just tweeted a pic of the new war memorial in Chester le Street and there is a name on the memorial, under the DLI section - which matches that of my grandads brother.
In all probability, it is his name.

It was nice getting back home, reflecting, thinking, flicking on twitter and seeing his name jump out.

I tend to go to Ryhope every year, but got up pretty late. By the time I had a shower, got dressed and all that jazz, it would have been too late to get myself to Ryhope (which is the one I usually go to).

Was going to pay my respects by taking a photo of GNE's 4949 out in service today, but for the second year in a row, it's spending today in the depot...

That's some first year assignment.

My undergraduate dissertation was set at 12,000 words; my postgraduate dissertation at 20,000; both inclusive of bibliography and footnotes. Most journal articles have similar word limits applied.

The brief thing said it was only meant to be 2,000, but that's excluding all tables (of which a large chunk of the assignment was in), references, bibliographies, appendices, contents pages, fancy front covers and so on. My official word count that was declared on the front page was 2,138 (we are allowed +10% of word limit, so effectively it's 2,200). The example we were shown was 45 pages long, but our lecturer did say that was too much.
