General Discussion / Re: Incident at Heathrow Airpo...
Last post by klondike - Yesterday at 09:29:49 AM
I have no BBC account. Found story on a news site instead.
Excerpt...
A three-year-old girl is among 21 injured after a group of men attacked a woman with pepper spray in an alleged suitcase robbery at Heathrow Airport.

One man was arrested by armed police as 16 victims, including the toddler, were treated at the scene and five more were rushed to hospital.

Police, ambulance and fire engines swooped on the multi-storey car park in Terminal 3 just after 8am today, sparking hours of travel chaos for holidaymakers.

Scotland Yard is investigating the alleged robbery in which a group of four men attempted to steal a woman's luggage shortly after her flight landed at Heathrow.

It's understood they sprayed the substance at her in a car park lift, affecting other passengers inside and in the surrounding area.

All very odd.

Good thinking Scrumps.  I've got to go into town on Wednesday,  so I think I will pop in and ask Halfords then,  rather than me poking about and maybe make it worse because I don't know what I'm doing..

Quote from: JBR on December 01, 2025, 10:20:48 AMIn the past it was possible to go to university without having to pay for it.  Simply possessing the appropriate number of A-level opened the door.  Of course, young people would be supported by their parents regarding food, etc., but I remember the time that you didn't have to pay the university.

The other thing to think about is which sort of degree one should follow.  I believe that some of them don't lead directly to a job, and one should decide beforehand where they want to work and which particular degree could open the necessary doors.

I'm sure that your granddaughter is already aware of that and has planned where she'd like to go in life.  I wish her all the best.
Thanks JBR. Maths, at Durham.  She'll be fine.
