An enquiry is announced into Ticketmaster's ‘dynamic pricing’ where prices doubled and tripled for Oasis tickets.
I hope that they look into the same ripoffs that happen on air flights.

Is it posible it couldsnowball and go back further than just Oasis tickets? Bet there are/were many sporting events that could fall into that category that have nevr been properly investigated.

I am very proud of this, my local hospital and it's staff. My Dad worked at this hospital for many years as a consultant before retirement. New Cross Hospital has been a major part of my life for so many reasons.
It has changed such a lot over the years.
The staff are constantly under ridiculous pressure but they battle on gamely against tough odds. The Diabetes and Endocrinology Centre as well as the more recently opened Heart and Lung Centre are first class facilities.

This hospital will always be special to me.
Even more so seeing as I live around the back of it .

silverstone ticket prices in particular

The scenes In Valencia are very sad to see and 51 deaths (and possibly rising) reported after a year's worth of rain fell in eight hours in the Chiva region! The Spanish Parliament has been suspended.

I just wonder how would the Thames Barrier would cope if that same amount of rain fell in London in the same time frame. I also wonder how much damage the soccer ground in Valencia itself has suffered.

All my thoughts and prayers to the people of Valencia.

Justin Welby's resigned as the Archbishop of Canterbury after critism of him hiding cases of abuse.

Also Sue Grey's turned down the offer to become PM’s envoy for the regions and nations.

So she's certain to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury
