It would be really nice if you guys fixed the automatic door of the toilet on the train that I had the misfortune to travel on yesterday, so that it actually closes when people are using it.

Snow
Britain has shown the world, yet again, how unprepared it is for adverse weather conditions. Yesterday all London buses, most tube lines, most train services and Gatwick/Heathrow failed to operate.
A remarkable failure given that most of these services (airports excluded) were able run during the war, even at the height of the Blitz.
