(16 Jun 2015, 6:01 pm)Adam wrote A Heinz is, ironically enough, 57 bets at X amount. I normally put a 10p Heinz on (10p X 57 = £5.70 to put the bets on). It's logical to assume that's where the name comes from Smile

Heinz is basically a Lucky 63 with out the singles.

It consists of....
1x Sixfold
6x Fivefold
15x Fourfold
20x Trebles
15x Doubles

So in a nutshell, it's a Yankee for people choosing 6 horses.

For a similar bets without singles they are as follows
3 Selections - Trixie with 4 bets
4 Selections - Yankee with 11 bets
5 Selections - Canadian or Super Yankee with 26 bets
6 Selections - Heinz with 57 Bets
7 Selections - Super Heinz with 120 bets.
8 Selections - Goliath with 247 bets.
9 Selections - Super Goliath with 502 bets.

You wonder how I know this, well I have worked in the betting industry for 12 years now. Anyway which bookies do you use by chance?

He's left five minutes early now. And guess what it resulted me in doing... yes, walk to the bloody bus stop on the top of Alexandra Road yet again to catch a 35.

This is getting silly now, he knows that I need to use that bus to get back to Ashington.

Well you should have been early

Doesn't excuse the early running though.

I did a half mile sprint yesterday and last week I wasted a sprint as the bus was parked in the lay by when I returned! 

I'm starting to hate driver 61, driver 199 is much nicer and HE WAITS WHERE HE IS SUPPOSED TO!

Layover doesnt need to be taken in a specific place though does it? Obviously, it wouldnt make sense if it was to go all the way down to London but as long as its safe and not so far away the service departs late, i dont see why you are getting all raged up about it? I will repeat what jimmi said though, the early running is an issue.

We don't know all sides to Tommy's complaint and it is rather difficult for me to give any sort of argument for this as I don't know the route and timetable for the service in question so I have no idea where the service should wait time or anything like that but all I will say is perhaps he should try to get to the stop a few minutes before the service is due to depart to decrease the chance of missing the service due to early running. Also how can a driver know for certain that he will be waiting for the return journey, I once did Weardale service 764 which operates one journey a day in each direction and I got the inbound journey but I didn't get the return journey.

Obviously services shouldn't be running considerably early but sadly it can sometimes happen.

The service terminate at North Seaton Colliery at xx00 and departs at xx15. There is no layover in the actual village itself, I was talking to an Arriva driver who did the route before July 2014 and he said that he was told to layover at B&Q until xx15 of when the bus will then loop past the village. As the walk to the postal office is less than five minutes each way, so they likelihood of missing the bus is slim.

One way I found which helps is upload NO MORE THAN 10 PHOTOS at a time. 

I've uploaded about 50 photos from Middlesbrough into private mode, then I pick which ones are suitable then I edit them and publish them. Usually in uploads like this 15-20 photos make it into public!  Big Grin

Apparently so.
Have heard they are still trying to find out who the other attacker is.

According to the BBC, one has been charged with 'Child Destruction'. A horrible term, but unsure what else they could call it.

I'm heading home late tonight, so thought I'd get the 58A home for a change of scenery. It leaves the bus station at 05 past the hour, where as the X12 is 10 past the hour.

The 58A is stood in the layover bay at the back of the bus station, when I arrived at about 5 to. It's approaching 10 past and the 58A hasn't moved. Driver is sat in his cab waiting. Anyway the X12 pulls in bang on time at 10 past, and the 58A moves into its stand as soon as all the passengers board - 7 minutes late!

This to me is where the 1 min early 5 min late rule is a problem. He'll know that he's going to make that up in no time, because the X12 is in front and picking all the passengers up...
