LD- I suspect that you are right that other European countries have higher taxes to pay more generous pensions than does the Uk- which sort of makes / supports my point that pensioners in the uk are not treated that well.

you're correct Papers.

The game is on sky sports + / now. Coverage starts at quarter to.

Dontanian I believe it IS

What a mess at Wimbledon! The Club sign Orsi last summer having been after him for some time. After a handful of starts and cameo sub appearances he is overlooked and sold to Crawley. The failure to provide enough chances from beating the oppo full backs to get the ball across the box leaves us still with an issue. will we play 4-4-2 with wide men? We lack energy in ageing legs going forward. Orsi is joined at Crawley by Lolos, aged 25, loaned to them by Peterborough. When they both played together in the last 16 league games of season 2023-2024 (excluding the play-offs), Orsi scored 6 as a centre forward and Lolos scored 9, either as a holding midfielder, attacking midfielder or emergency centre forward. Wimbledon have to get things right with very little margin for error. Signing players that do not fit a system is pointless and a waste of time.

So tonight’s match isn’t on sky+/nowtv then?

The state pension is lower in the UK compared to other similar European countries because our tax rates are lower than theirs.

Correct Papers. Think there may be confusion between " Laddie", an Airedale Terrier formerly of platform 8, wimbledon station, and an Alsation referred to below?

Arguably "free" pensioner travel doesn't have any significant cost, as it only applies off peak when the buses aren't full anyway, so there is no real economic cost having a bunch of pensioners travelling at those times, rather than the buses travelling empty. The apparent cash "cost" will be the payment made from local government to TFL (or the bus companies outside London) and if you did away with that you would have to find another way of subsidising public transport, or see services reduced. As always, though, it suits the current narrative to blame pensioners for being unduly favoured (ignoring the fact that the state pension is way lower than in other countries)

Isn't the stuffed dog from Platform 8 of Wimbledon Station at the National Railway Museum in York, OI, and not at the LT museum ?

Fair enough ! Win-win then ! Kind of

Spit - if he can score like that for them again, then they'll likely have got good value.

Timmy he got 19 goals in 45 appearances for Crawley , so they are probably hoping for a similar goal ratio

TM - a great example of a deal that works really well for both parties. Seemed a nice guy, but a poor fit for our style of play.

crawley fans seem delighted to have him back. very odd

I thought we might have got more for Orsi if we'd sold him as spare parts! 😉

It should be extended to cover those living in Zone 6 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pete,pensioner need to surrender tgeur free travel to fund more important people😡[Link]

I suspect free rail travel is a bit like the triple lock, unaffordable in the long run but hard to take away because us oldies vote. It also needs parliamentary approval for any change. I know someone who lives a few yards into Elmbridge and thinks Londoners are totally spoilt as outsiders only get the buses.

With luck you'll all be old one day, so signing this petition is for everyone's benefit, long term [Link]

I did see the stuffed dog from Wimbledon Station in the LT museum a year or so ago.

You can find the stuffed Alsatian in the club museum along with OI pipe:-)

“dogsbody” - very good 😬👏 (OTD), and that’s an excellent example of AI colourisation, it looks great!! 🥳

Crawley play football on the deck which is what Orsi needs so it a good fit

Luckily there are no former corrupt board members Trigger.
