This thread looks like it will go down some weird rabbit warren!!

Not sure if this is the right thread. I made a delicious gooseberry champagne years ago. It had a very balanced taste. But then again, 25 years ago, it was the closest I could aggord to champagne so what did I know lol.

Octopus here. I charge overnight and also set washing machine and tumble dryer for the 7.5p rate. Also put the dishwasher on overnight, but since it has not time I need to remember to switch it on on my way to bed. After 6 months...I still forget and SWMBO doesn't even know we have a dishwasher lol.

Thinking of buying a cheap smoker for bacon, but can only afford about £50. Any recommendations? I normally make streaky bacon, so a belly joint size about 2.5kg is as big as I go at any one time, so not huge. But might also try smoking salmon. Thanks in advance!!

By profitable, I mean making a reinvestment profit to ensure that the industry is kept up to date. So large infrastructure improvements can be self funded as much as possible.

I think that 'renationalise' is something we need to consider for certain industries. But they need to be operated as a private company, with an aim to be profitable. We need a reliable rail network, water services, and energy supply and the NHS that is managed for the public good. Having...

I love the power regen system. I often drive one peddle now, with my foot hovering over the brake peddle just in case.

Tbh, as a magistrate, I see low value shoplifting every time I'm in court. Anything from £20 upwards. But all crimes are under-reported, and under-prosecuted.

For first offences Anyone who has any sort of record will come through the court system.

These are seen in Magistrates Court. It means they just dont/can't be sent upto Crown Court. Whoops should have read down to the end of the thread, Leon said the same!! Lol

I work in the law system, people are often prosecuted for shoplifting under £200. And very often under £100.

WFH actually benifits many people. My wife has WFH for over 15 years and it has allowed her to progress professionally and pick up caring responsibilities of her aging father without compromising anyone. It has meant she can keep working and keep caring. Roads are too busy, but without better...

I like the 20 limit. They do need to reconsider some roads. Some are obviously not walked on or are big enough or with very little foot traffic they they should revert to 30. I was unlucky, my driving test was in the 17/09, the day after it was introduced. So I had learnt to get to 30, then...

Happy update. After nearly 50 mins on the phone I finally got them to refund for the beers sent, but they wanted me to pay for them to go back. I got a bit narky and they said keep them! So, 8 cans of nice beer free :~) Not a bad result. I can now relax, have a kebab to celebrate and a can of...

Thansk!!
