nonnaB 4,895 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Have you ever wondered ....why ? Doesnt matter what it is but the question pops up every now and again. It would be nice if someone has the answer. Just now making myself a cup of coffee and looking around the kitchen I have a few electrical appliances with German plugs. Why? Lots of appliances are made in Italy and they still have German plugs. Why? Which means we have to either change the plug to use it ( but not straightaway in case the thing goes wrong and they wont change it) or else use an adapter. Heres another why. Our power points are different ( obviously) we have 2 different sized pronged plugs small and large. Why ? So we have to buy 2 different sized adapters. Very annoying as whenever we need an adapter its never the right one or we cant find it. Anyone else has a why? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oldphil 331 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 All down to the big con called globalisation. It's cheaper for the multinationals (the only ones with clout nowadays) to source all the manufacture of individual items in one place, then ship them to where they're needed. Works fine until things go wrong. Prime examples at the moment are the Co2 shortages (I thought we had too much on the planet), and the problems Brexit will cause the UK(supposedly) with the new European satnav. I reckon over the next couple of decades things will turn full circle, and we will go back to making daily walking trips to independent shops for stuff as we need it.

LizzieM 9,507 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 One of my boys had a t-shirt with ‘WHY’ across the front when he was a toddler. Questions, questions, always asking ‘Why’. Now I have to ask him ‘Why’ to a lot of things, he’s a lot brighter than me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN123. 9,325 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 The big WHY? over here..should the uk taxpayer fund Eugenies wedding? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,413 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 As I understand it the money being quoted is not the cost of the wedding, it's to pay the estimated overtime bill for the police. London football clubs alone cost the taxpayer almost £7,000,000 yet nobody seems to be getting their knickers in a twist about that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I w2ant to know why I have six nipples.....two proper ones and four very small ones set out like an animal! Apparently, it is not uncommon and they are called soemthing like supernumery nipples. Right, just looked it up and answered my own question.....Supernumerary nipples are diagnosed in humans at a rate of approximately 1 in 18 people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Because NOBODY, whatever their political persuasion deserves to be spoken to in that way. The police should have taken action months ago, when protesters initially appeared. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Those protesters are absolute low-life scum and as FLY comments, nobody should be spoken to/heckled like that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
