There are free to access castle ruins and buildings of a similar age and much older all over the UK, they're hardly in short supply. Maybe you didn't intend it but this comes across as overly pessimistic. It's hardly as if every bit of history in the country has had a fence put round it to charge an entry fee.

Not trying to say what you're describing doesn't exist, but the only place I can think of that I've been to that charges to see some 3ft high bits of wall would be Old Sarum, but that also has great views.

31 years native. That's the first time I've ever seen someone write 27:00...

It's an opinion piece by a single journalist.

I turned 30 this year, born 1987, and I had no idea that I missed out on this kind of education by so few years.

I remember there were a couple of BBC Micros sat getting dusty in the corners of a couple of classrooms in both my infant (year 1-2) and junior (year 3-6) schools, but we never used them.

Instead we had brand new Windows machines on which we learnt Powerpoint, Excel and used Encarta. Joy.

TIL: There are fried chicken shop clouds over London.

Try that at 3am and see if the cab driver cares.

Pre-uber I'd take the night bus, as I'm not paying £50 or £60 for a black cab from town to my home. Post uber that same journey is now less than £25 and well worth paying for to avoid the occasional horrors on the night bus.

1) I've never had to use ExpandableListView. ListView I use all the time. 2) Most often, BaseAdapter 3) Both options. XML if I had to pick.

The problems are greatly exaggerated. I imagine there's little difference to the "fragmentation" problems developing for Windows.

I find Three has superb coverage throughout London. Elsewhere it's not so good.
