99 to 1 chance they have never even heard of the general licence, much less its finer points never try to explain, you will only dig yourself a hole

You definitely watched a different game to me. Even Southgate on TV last night commented on the audible groan from the crowd every time they passed the ball back. OK its a tactic but its becoming the only tactic

Nobody has defined crop protection, there is no clarity whether they can only be shot over the crop you are wanting to protect? so how does that work for shooting over stubble when the crop has already been taken? Or roosting? Is clover a crop? The other question is who is going to enforce it? the police won't.

As I understand it, you cannot shoot a pigeon because you want to eat it, or sell it. (or for any other reason except crop protection) You can only shoot it to protect crops as a last resort, when all other means have demonstrably failed. However once you have shot it to protect crops as a last resort you are perfectly entitled to eat it or sell it to somebody else to eat. However, in the latter case other laws regarding the handling and sale of meat products for human consumption come into play. Basically, as I understand it, a pigeon is not regarded as a game bird. I say "as I understand it" because before too long somebody will be along to contradict everything I have said

I didn't think England played that well. Reading the reports the next day I think there must have been two England matches that night and I watched the wrong one

When you consider that the UK has endured a massive postal voting fraud for years, decades in fact, and nobody has done anything about it. We shouldn't really point the finger.

You buy .22 target ammo in multiples of 500 usually. When my lads were younger they could get through 500 in an afternoon on steel plate challenge.

Oyster cards are still around but all they are is a prepaid debit card in any case. More and more Londoners just tap their debit cards and bypass the need for the oyster. However, critics say oyster missed a huge business opportunity, beyond huge, a massive business opportunity. If they had become a "spend anywhere" prepaid debit card so you could use it to buy your newspaper, your coffee, your lunch, your etc as well as your bus fare. There was absolutely no competition and London had thousands, millions even, of Eastern Europeans who were all paid cash in hand and who woiuld have loved to preload their cash onto a card for safe keeping to avoid the risk of getting it stolen because they did not have bank accounts. They could have cascaded the scheme to other cities easily, It was already set up and running, it only needed to be cloned. Spread it far and wide. But no, this is what happens when you leave the running of a scheme with so much potential to bone idle Transport for London rubbish desk huggers who regarded the whole idea as too much like that disgusting four letter word WORK and an affront to their socialist vision of the future..

You cant pay cash on any London buses and many stations now the ticket offices are closed

You have to pay a London taxi driver in coin, Its written into the Metroplitan Police Act

Also, doctors get paid to have a patient on their books, I think its about £160 a year for every patient. So I would imagine some doctor is still raking in £160 every year for Andrea my mother's old cleaner who went back to Hungary about five years ago and never came back. I bet Andrea is still getting child benefit too Or the Indian family that rented the flat below us for a year before moving to Amsterdam. They had a son too, I bet they are still getting child benefit.

Personally I would prefer the Irish system where charges are made for visits to A&E or GP. Not a big charge just enough to deter the time wasters.

In Cornwall the number of people actually making money from the tourists is comparatively small, most of the bigger hotels and caravan sites (for example) are owned by remote companies so the profits don't stay in Cornwall. All the locals get in the main are seasonal minimum wage jobs. Compare that to the massive amounts of disruption endured by ordinary folk just trying to get on with their day to day lives and the reason why there is hostility. One local pointed out to me that a few years ago a motor caravan was a transit van with an elevating roof. Now they are three times as long and sometimes towing a car. Driven by a septuagenarian with thick glasses who has never driven anything bigger than the family car. They still use ordinary sat navs instead of the specialist satnavs for trucks and coaches. So they get stuck trying to get down narrow lanes and it snarls up the school runs and people trying to home etc. When this happens all the time there is bound to be resentment

Yes but they are having to make laws to ban wild camping in parts of Scotland because of all the idiots. Much the same happening in Cornwall

Oh Bloody Hell, you have never know cold like it. I was shocked first year but you do get to accept it.

Well Canada was just across the other side of the lake from where we were, you could almost see it.. People used to cross over to shop. Both ways. The general view was that the whole setup in Canada was better. Healthcare, education taxes etc. America can be pretty brutal if you don't have pots of money. Lose your job and you lose your heathcare. then you really are in trouble. People over here have no comprehension, get sick and if you can't pay you will die. People do die of very treatable illnesses simply because they can't pay for treatment. My friend Steve did. There is little in the way of help. Thats the true reason why so many Americans belong to churches. but I could never live there its far too cold in the winter. (and far too hot in summer) alright when you are younger

When I lived in Upstate New York everybody used to say how good Canada was

I had an electrical problem on my van caused by an electrical spike when the headlamp got broken. Resulted in a secondhand ECU being fitted. The van had to go to a specialist to have the replacement ECU reprogrammed. Chatting to him he said the majority of his work came from cars that had been cleaned using pressure washers

Apparantly they know who leaked it and my money is firmly on Gove. You can be sure he left no evidence trail though

I suspect there is a lot of justifiable distrust of each other within the corridors of power. (Which in Matt Hancock's case appears to have been very justified.) and ministers wanting to keep their conversations away from the eyes of their colleagues

Absolutely not Gove, Cummings is trying to steer Gove into Boris' job so he can come back as Gove's hatchet man. All this character assassination of Boris and Hancock is not random We still don't know who leaked the CCTV footage. Actually, a key question thats not being asked. That is Cummings game plan. He is plotting his return, like Voldermort in Harry Potter

double what it was last week, which is a bit worrying. Not that long ago it was in the 3000s

No he will get a much better job at five times the salary in the City. The job offers will be pouring in. mind you, he is still an MP so apart from the minister's element of his salary nothing has changed.

Yes I really do, and how do you know I so slavishly followed them? You don't know me or anything about me so don't make assumptions. Having three homes has allowed us to live more or less unaffected by lockdown. The shopping gets delivered where ever we live, we can walk on the beach if we want to when in Cornwall. Or we can drive back to the flat in London or the house in Surrey as we wish. Its not been a problem, As Wimbledon starts next week my OH will be glued to the box and she has tickets for some of the days so lockdown is hardly a problem for us. I will just go to Bisley on the days she is at or watching Wimbledon . Our lockdown has been very easy. Actually I have rather enjoyed it, apart from not seeing the family so much
