  1. Well for one thing most food shops in the US have to be licenced by the local Authority. And if they step out of line the licence gets revoked automatically
  2. Yes but a muff was like a big handwarmer, not what you are thinking
  3. The decline in .22 prone target shooting mainly.
  4. This /\ First rule of rural driving is never brake or swerve to avoid any animal in the road
  5. They got a different company and moved last week. The move was from Bristol to Birmingham and had tight time constraints because of the chain. They are /were too busy to start making complaints or going to trading standards. Like most people, it was a one off move, they don't plan to move again. They found a local removal company and gave them a call, they seemed professonaI and above board don't think it ever crossed their minds there may be tricksters operating, or what the tricks may be. It did cause a HUGE panic though
  6. I don't see how the ONS can ever hope to track the huge number of young EU migrants who Easyjet back and forward at will. It would be interesting to know their methods. On suggestion that applied to a different survey was that they could only track those on PAYE or who made tax returns. That would be a very small percentage.
  7. As somebody who has both lived and worked in the US and is now a regular visitor. US food standards are clearly much higher than you see in Europe
  8. The whole issue of Brexit should focus on the rapidly failing structure of the EU. Its going down the pan and nobody, not even the most fanatical remainer should be able to deny that. It has nothing at all to do with the UK or Brexit. Fatal flaws in the structure of the EU were introduced in 2004 when ten totally inappropriate countries were allowed to join. Much of the banking structure has failed and is trading illegally . The German economy is in recession and its big money generator, the car industry is in deep **** . The political structure of the EU as a round table at which every member has to agree is at the heart of the problem. Its incapable of reform. It cannot influence its own destiny. Its a fatal flaw and that is exactly why we must run, not walk away from the whole fiasco
  9. In Wales that's called English Accent prices
  10. The same hike in "indemnity fees" has evolved at car auctions. I can remember when it was a flat £20, now its often £500 or more. The thing is, the big boys don't pay it, neither do they get charged the same seller fees as we do .
  11. The company is in Bristol, my son lives in Bristol so be aware
  12. Their written quote has "this is not a binding agreement and is offered for guidance only without prejustice" in the VERY small print, but you don't read that' when you think its all going to be above board. I wonder now whether it was always going to be a sting.
  13. A bit too complicated for that I'm afraid, been on to my usual van hire company and no Lutons available for Friday
  14. Most of the street people around that area are somali/ Iraqi/ Iranian/ Afgan/ Bagladeshi/ Pakistani and very young, as such they would be very homophobic, if he is openly gay its not the sort of place to be hanging out at 2am.. Unless you have a death wish But as I have pointed out in a previous post the far right would not be out either, they would be three sheets to the wind in some club or already tucked up in bed. They don't do "street"
  15. What is it about my family at the moment? My oldest son and his wife are moving on Friday. All sorted out, removal company booked, quoted £800 for the move which has been accepted. Today the removal company phoned to say they have been offered a better job for Friday now, price is going up to £1400 or they are going to cancel. What on earth is this world coming to? I just dispair
  16. Thank you, it appears my point of view is getting out there. I'm not sure Pentonville Road is in JC's constituency, I don't think it extends that far south. His constituency is further north around Archway and Highbury. I think where I used to live on Junction Rd Tufnell Park was on the southernmost edge of his private fiefdom. Mind you Pentonville Rd near the junction with the Caledonian Rd at 2am in the morning is not somewhere I would chose to be hanging around socialising. There are some seriously rough estates not far off there to the north and east and the inhabitants are the worst kind of low life imaginable. If he 'only' got kicked in the head and a few scratches he was lucky, that's all I can say. If indeed he really did? I think its fiction, stabbed and robbed by a bunch of Somalis? that's more likely. Anybody who attacks you that time of night is likely to be robbing you unless you are 18 and wearing street clothes in which case its turf war. But lets put this story to bed. The far right are not street people, they drink in private clubs and go home in Ubers. They never go out onto the streets (or at least those streets) at night because they are not that stupid and despise the street gangs. (and vice versa). The far right don't have, or want control of the streets If he got attacked at 2am on Pentonville Rd there is no was it was a far right "gang". There is no such thing as a far right gang on the streets at 2am. Here speaks a TRUE Londoner, who really does know what he is talking about
  17. It is a food fad for many people, not for everybody but it is being heavily promoted on social media targeting kids and it has grown as a result. Its a copycat thing for many. Years ago it was jogging
  18. I'm surprised they are not factory fitted in new cars. Then they could be a lot more discrete and not a black box hanging in the windscreen, but yes a must have.
  19. Appears to have happened at a very rural location, ten people arrested. I think we can work that one out.
  20. There were dozens of people doing it the other night when I was coming home from the pub!
  21. the most important secret of paint spraying is get a good gun. Its not impossible to do a good job with a naff gun but its an uphill struggle.
  22. If you think that is democratic you have totally lost the plot. Do you think people will wake up the next morning having totally forgotten what happened the day before? like some groundhog day movie? Because I can tell you now, they (we!) will not What is being proposed is sedition pure and simple. Undermining the LAWFUL government is not legal simply because you personally don't like what they are doing.
  23. Drinking foul water can create dysentery like symptoms, diarrehea and vomiting stomach cramps etc so bad that patient is producing blood from both ends and delirious within 24 hours. After that, its all but over without medical intervention. If she was drinking water downstream from a settlement with animals she could easily have taken in a cocktail of nasty things but bleeding intestines sounds particularly indicative of a nasty water borne infection.
  24. Lets just step back from all this an take a serious look. What they are proposing is an alliance of Labour, the SNP, the Welsh Nationals, the Greens and the Lib Dems?????? and they are calling that a PARTY OF NATIONAL UNITY???? They have got to be joking. There will be no flippin' unity there. It will be like The Muppet Show, The Young Ones and The Walking Dead all rolled into one, but not as funny. And they would be fighting like cats and dogs within a week
