I got here as quick as I couldI can't believe it took three whole pages before urban managed to turn a thread about a storm damaged railway into a class war issue....
Back in the day, that would've happened by page one! This is clearly indicative of the inexorable gentrification of u75...
Cameron says that South West is 'open for business'. Because the West Country and its people are only really worth anything if some capitalist shit can make a bit of cash out of us.
Of course it isUs? Us?! You live in Bristol son. That ain't the West Country
Splendid. Can't have you spreading division in the interior when we're trying to hold the front line at Ludgershall and LydneyNice, I'm in
This rather boiled my piss, too. The South West has been "open for business" just fine, thanks Dave. How did the South East possibly cope without us? Oh, you were fine too.

What are you going to do? Embargo cream tea exports?Can't guarantee I won't form some sort of splinter group once the borders are secure mind.
Wales is also claiming to be a civilised country with indoor plumbing and literature and that. Doesn't make it trueWales is claiming Flat Holme and Lundy. They've planted daffodils and are digging a mineshaft as we speak. What you all going to do about it?
As a shining example of the best the South East has to offer, I was not in any way concerned about the South West's recent impromptu isolation. In fact, recent events have got me thinking, and I reckon we should seriously consider having the South West annexed by Russia. And if that all goes to plan, we can offload Wales next!This rather boiled my piss, too. The South West has been "open for business" just fine, thanks Dave.

UKIP actuallyYou do realise that you'd be governed by the Liberal Democrats, don't you? Shagger Ashdown for president?

Look, if we have to cope with St Werburghs and Montpellier up here, I don't see why you shouldn't have to deal with TotnesEncourage Totnes to secede
Forty years since Adge retired to his secret stronghold in Chewton Mendip to await the glorious day...For you northerners, sure; but he's only your spiritual leader.
We recognise him as an important part of the pantheon, but he's no Charles Babbage. Science and Reason son, Science and Reason. Then cider.
Just a GW 125. Where are the wagon-hauled Newcastle to Paignton trains, the sulzer powered trip freights to Newton Abbot, the omnipresent English Electric type 4s? Can you rewind this thing, maybe a couple of decades?
How about some Castles, Kings and 9F's
Storm-hit Dawlish rail line: Sea wall to be raised
A sea wall which was breached in winter storms will be raised to protect the main railway line in the south-west of England, Network Rail has confirmed.
The plans to raise the section at Dawlish, Devon have been criticised by some residents concerned about privacy.
A walkway on top of the wall is used by thousands of people every year.
In the 1840s, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who built the rail, lost the same battle with a landowner.
The landowner insisted the wall should be lowered so he did not lose his privacy with walkers looking in.
Network Rail said the section of wall would be raised to the same height as the rest of the defence.
A spokesman said, subject to planning permission being granted, it hoped to start work in August with the project expected to be completed by the end of 2014.
