Vodafone euro traveller £3 per day and you get to use your normal minutes/texts/data for example across the whole of Europe

It's so easy to be generous on someone else's behalf isn't it. Frankly we're lucky to be the other side of the Channel and only have our ports to worry about.
300 empty properties in Stockton & Middlesbrough that are ready to be used the only homeless are those that have made themselves intentionally so

Large amounts of job vacancies across a broad spectrum of roles

Similar situation across a lot of the north east of the UK
