An enquiry is announced into Ticketmaster's ‘dynamic pricing’ where prices doubled and tripled for Oasis tickets.
I hope that they look into the same ripoffs that happen on air flights.

Is it posible it couldsnowball and go back further than just Oasis tickets? Bet there are/were many sporting events that could fall into that category that have nevr been properly investigated.

I am very proud of this, my local hospital and it's staff. My Dad worked at this hospital for many years as a consultant before retirement. New Cross Hospital has been a major part of my life for so many reasons.
It has changed such a lot over the years.
The staff are constantly under ridiculous pressure but they battle on gamely against tough odds. The Diabetes and Endocrinology Centre as well as the more recently opened Heart and Lung Centre are first class facilities.

This hospital will always be special to me.
Even more so seeing as I live around the back of it .
