Nearly 40,000 Bristol families are so deep in debt they face having their homes repossessed, it has been claimed (link below.)

Whilst I feel for anyone who might loose their home and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, I think it's about time attitudes in this country change - people have got far too used to just having everything they want, hence why people have stretched themselves too far.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
