Pleased to hear you are both recovered and I have good news. The incubation period for covid is about five days so it's a fair bet you were lolling on sunbed pretending not to look or imbibing in some bar when you became infected. Safe to say I think the plane or airport are not to blame in this instance,,,

As a student I did a short stint at Burtons, both the grocer and the tailor. John Coliier was at the time considered slightly up market from bob down. bob a week and misses. Eventually Butrons bought them out.

Sheilas wheel surprised me by offering the same as Saga for almost 20% less. Previously they had been amongst the highest...

I always though Burtons were the fifty bob tailors but in the picture they seem to be different premises

As soon as a I figure what I want to be I'll let you know

A mother of a 17yr old mass shooter in the US has just been found guilty on four counts of involuntary manslaughter. She faces a potential 15 on each count, and the boys father ls to face trial on similar charges. Is this justice or revenge? and is it opening a can of worms and accelerating the blame culture to new heights? Just askin...

But surely if we can read the posts, (without posting) then we can judge if we want to carry on, much like here.

Define substantial; Leavers won by 1,269.501 votes, where do we set the limit, total numbers or as a percentage? I remember a lot of arguing about the actual wording. how long it would have taken them to draw a line in the sand is anybody's guess

I looked recently at the Fairham Group but to me it makes no sense that's private and unreadable

Preferential voting has absolutely nothing to do with mandatory voting so whilst most of your post is interesting, it's largely irrelevant. Our system is totally different. New Zealand does not have a mandatory voting system. It is a fact that in Australia, and Cyprus compulsory voting means there is a broader societal distribution in the turn out, yet invalid papers are far more common and evidence indicates compelled voters are less likely to cast ballots that accord with their preferences. (Singh: Oxford) Under the UK system it would make no differenc

The Brexit they thought they were voting for never actually existed and despite a fair amount of false starts and promises is proving to be something of a damp squib. The so called benefits is just pie in the sky and the negative aspects too numerous to mention. Does it though? You're linking your question to Cols reference to the low voter turn out. Would mandatory voting make any difference to the outcome? Most of the world (80%), manage without it. Only South America, parts of central Africa and a few odds 'n' sods have it which is hardly a glowing recommendation. With mandat

Then you are truly exceptional, most I know in the tax bracket are to say the least resentful and would seize every opportunity to pay less if there were legal means to do so. They are happy to be in that income bracket, less so about the high level of tax. It's the Bank of England that issues money not HMG and though owned by HMG it is largely independent since Gordon Brown made it responsible for UK monetary policy. As I remember it was never mooted as saving the poor it was a miserable attempt to raised 'Britishness' and aid the economy.

Set in the East End, possibly the most unlikely place to find the almost genteel world it portrayed

I had a pair of those, though they were a fair bit more than £20, when I had a Kenwood quadraphonic set up with a little joystick to move the sound. As i remember it there were two systems for quad sound and the Kenwood had both. Like much of 4 and 8k TV now there was so little produced it was in fact an expensive waste. But the phones were quite good and lasted years, some BBC DJs used them

I'm similar nonna, but lately I rely on Alexa to remind me every day... The pity is I can't set her to tell my smartphone to come with me when I go out...

Billy Bean and his wonderful machine... but you're right even kids knew they were daft, but hey they were real live moving pictures. Television newsreel was best program on Television back then, note it must called that, if I called it telly i was told off...

I think you must have read it wrong Qz, they can't possibly be 50yrs old

Amlodipine 5mg with an option to go to 10 he says.... bugger of i says... I think a few here have the same

Which support my view that it's implying it's wrong and not fair or that somehow the rich have a responsibility. Something that is unjust or unacceptable means someone or something is to blame, bringing the wealthy into the argument is inferring they are somehow not only the solution, part of the problem It's not fair they have all this money - why is it? I'm sure the ONS is reliable and use them myself, but I cannot see the justice of singling out and punishing a small sector of society to make amends for the failure of society in general. The wealth gap and ine

Not even in the same league as yourself Col but the lung Spirometry ordered by my GP some weeks ago simply never happened. I'm also waiting for an appointment for cataracts replacement, supposedly with three weeks but now well overdue. The new BP tablets virtually knock me out but I "have to see how I get on for a little longer" The recent farrago with my brother.. As you say you can't make some stuff up... Anyway I wish you well mate...

Nothing of the sort and where did you gain the impression it was intended to spend the money, or even part of it. in the UK? I did say it would make a big difference if it was, but it's not. Oxfam in fact do very little for the poor of the UK the vast majority of the money goes to Africa, Asia and South America. I don't doubt they are good at what they do, they just don't do it here. That's just it I do see it for what it is. A bald statement of fact... but why? Why do they feel the need to draw the comparison at all? They could have made their case by mentioning n
