When following the live football scores on the BBC website/teleprinter why are the first results to come in always from Scotland?
Half time is only 10 minutes in Scotland but 15 in England Since when? Always been 15 mins for as long as I can remember. I understood the 10 minute thing to be true. I haven't googled. Just done a bit of googling. It used to be 10 minutes everywhere. I think England changed first, then the Scottish Premiership changed before league 1. Probably just because Camel and I are old farts and remember the difference. Don't know if some Scottish quasi pub teams in their lower leagues still stick to 10 minutes. Didn't realise the Scottish Prem had gone to 15. |

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

The videprinter scores are provided by the Press Association representative at each game, who sends them in
For English games and SPL games he has to send these to more media outlets, thus these usually come through later than lower league games..especially in Scotland where the number of outlets requiring his information is tiny compared to top flight games

Why do late trains take longer and often take longer routes when the tracks should be nice and clear to go the fastest way and put their foot down?
Wet, slippery tracks, windy conditions, poor visibility, danger of fallen trees and debris, heavier train with lots of miserable people squeezed onto it... It's a mystery. I accept visibility etc but take e.g. the 1am York to Leeds. There's hardly anyone on the train and I don't get why it has to go through the longer Castleford route (it doesn't stop anywhere except Leeds) rather than the direct route. |

Also, back to sandwiches...
Why when eating lunch do people eat their crisps whilst also eating their sandwich? To me this is very very wrong as crisps are a dessert/afters/treat item to be consumed as a snack or after a meal.

at least some of the crisps go IN sandwiches for added texture and flavour |

Regular maintenance? Leaving paths clear for slower freight trains? The fastest train home for me takes 51 minutes. Choose to play a couple of hours at the Vic work late and the last train home takes 99 minutes - beyond tilting. |

Banana and crisp sandwiches are the best thing ever - combinations of flavour and texture that were made to go together.

I can't confirm this though. i can confirm having been a lot of highland league games in my time that the half time break is crowd dependant as the ref needs to get to front of queue for a pie and bovril before game can restart |

There's hardly anyone on the train and I don't get why it has to go through the longer Castleford route (it doesn't stop anywhere except Leeds) rather than the direct route. The majority of the time this is due to agreed noise restriction limits. Bolton to Manc Picc is approx 20 mins, but on the same route overnight takes approx 45 mins |

Why people repeatedly and increasingly frustratedly push the button that opens the doors before the train has even stopped. What are they trying to achieve? Some sort of Steven Seagal exit?
