We were bankrupt as a country, there was a cost of living crisis, power outages, corrupt politicians, fears of global confict and major unrest in the middle east, right wing papers spouting about immigrants, NHS staff out on strike, people "remembering" how much better it was 30/40 years before...

Not that I have any love for the Tories, (or any of the others for that matter), but after 13 years of Tory government we have EXACTLY the same public transport we had at the end of 10+ years of Labour. Governments of ALL parties are London-centric

ULEZ charges effectively represent an additional charge to visit the national capital and seat of government - how democratic. Unlike London residents who already have subsidized public transport schemes (most of the rest of the country does not even have viable public transport let alone...

If it's the coffee it's more likely to be the **** and additives they bulk it out with. Always drink low to med roast quality coffee and you should be fine. Most coffee in the UK is so weak and low in caffeine content it's unlikely to be that. And remember 'strong dark roasts' are lower in...

Not any more. At the top level they all top level athletes - and generally too fast to stop for fisticuffs.

A happy Xmas to Roberts Essar petrol station at Grindley Brook near Whitchurch - unleaded currently 130.9 , diesel 150.9 - has been consistently the cheapest I've seen all year

Cos I know it will cost mein the pocket. As for getting fleeced by the UK government - welcome to the world of the English who live outside of London - and we don't get free prescriptions, university etc.

Err. Don't think we had a truly English dynasty as monarchs for best part of a millennium. We've imported French (Norman's and Plantagenet) , Welsh Tudors , Scottish Stuart's , the Dutch House of Orange, Hannovarians etc, the current lot had to change their family name a century ago. Truly a...

The main problem is with the use of the words "a lot". We live in what is designated as a large commuter village - there are no buses at peak commuter times and the advice is to travel outside of these times.

Then again would that be the case if (Fiji excepted) their best players didn't end up in the All Blacks team ?

That was not an accidental helmet to helmet hit. Garrett literally pulled Rudolph's helmet of his head and hit him with his own life. Brown Steelers a couple of years ago

A Sending Off (Red Card) would be called an ejection in American football. (My favourite in recent years was Myles Garrett ripping off Mason Rudolph's helmet and hitting him with it)

Presumably the French pay for French customs staff and decided they did not want to spend extra money to reduce waiting times for people who voted to bring in extra checks. How selfish! ( and just in case you hadn't worked it out - that was meant to be sarcastic)

If I vote FOR someone they claim that as a mandate to have my support. If I am forced to vote for someone I don't wish to support, i.e. I believe there is no fit and proper candidate - my vote "the most precious thing I own" has to be used to support something I oppose - how is that fair or...

I was born there too and whilst the smell of the breweries / hops was lovely - Robirch Pork pies was a completely different matter.

Just remember - if you want to have stronger coffee - don't buy a dark rocket fuel roast use more coffee. You don't make stronger beer by using grain that has been "roasted" for longer - coffee is no different. In fact roasting lowers the caffeine levels so light roast coffe as well as being...

Checkout Babylon Berlin - Its in German with Subtitles but total Class

We elect politicians to govern who are supposed to represent and SERVE (the interests of) the people. We do not elect dictators empowered to do anything they want. Hence you have the right to object to, protest against or campaign to change anything the government does or proposes to do . This...
