This is, or could be fun. However, it's same old, same old.

Interesting. So Mr Dyson relocated various operations to where, exactly? Some eu place?

Thank goodness that most of it hasn't been wasted, eh! Most of it has gone back to the economy, and half or so has gone for employing more people.

How much precisely is it costing the UK taxpayer, as a matter of interest, and what are these costs??

"Exclusive Economic Zone" The eu, which includes Mr Macron, hasn't any fishing rights because it's our EEZ (the same works in reverse; we won't have "fishing rights" in their EEZ (blue)). However, we will have them in the green areas (Faroes, Norway). Note the eu needs to negotiate fishing...

The only surprise to me, Mr Chippy_Tea, is that anyone is surprised, or that some people seem to ignore it. The whole thing started from literally a handful of people, maybe fewer, and has infected over 70 million worldwide in less than a year, and has killed nearly 2 million, with a larger...

According to what I've read here, this'll be about 3.8%ABV, which I would not class as "Winter Warmer". Still, I've got one I bought a while ago, so I'd better deal with it. Something must be done, without going out and buying more stuff. In the cupboard I have some light and dark brown sugar...

Update from The Netherlands: https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2020/12/hard-lockdown-unavoidable-says-dutch-pm-ruling-out-foreign-travel-until-march/

Thank goodness for that. If some mutation for some reason caused a different demographic to be attacked (cf. "Spanish 'Flu"), the results would be even more unpleasant.

The problem is partially quoting what I wrote, altering its meaning entirely, and also adding words to what I say, again altering my meaning - "putting words in my mouth". Let's (reasonably) dissect this: "As you say, not science[1] but something else[2] (not scientific) allied with the...

It will be interesting to hear what the restrictions announced in the Netherlands will be. They seem set to have national lockdown imminently, over Christmas and into mid-January, as do the Germans. People seem to forget that this is a global issue, and precautions are being taken iby many...

NO I did not say that. Again, I said: "Not science so much as psychology allied with science, as alluded to by Chippy_Tea". Please stop what you are doing. It's not on.

Please DO NOT do that. I would say it's abuse. I actually said: "Not science so much as psychology allied with science, as alluded to by Chippy_Tea".

I can certainly agree with that. However, it seems to me that - if everyone stuck to the rules - that we would have far, far less of a problem. The trouble is that some people won't stick to the rules; possibly because for most, there is very little enforcement.

But the responsible person - the licencee or his representative - should not tolerate bad behaviour on the premises, and should refuse to serve those indulging in it ("throw them out"), just as they normally do to others indulging in bad behaviour, or being drunk, in their premises. It's only if...

Not science so much as psychology allied with science, as alluded to by Chippy_Tea.

But the man runs a restaurant. He *knows* what a "substantial meal" should be, in context, because of previous rulings. He should not be getting his information from "The Sun", or Mr Eustice, but direct from the authorities, as normal, as you indicate. He should not be trying to evade the rules...

Ah. To lighten the mood: Probable-Possible, my black hen, She lays eggs in the Relative When. She doesn't lay eggs in the Positive Now Because she's unable to postulate how. (Frederick Winsor)

The referendum question was: Ex-leavers, various, insist that "They did not ask for a "deal", it wasn't on the paper". Ex-remainers, various, insist that "There should have been "deal or no deal" on the paper". It's now of academic interest only. We left the eu nearly 11 months ago.

"Was eligible to vote, but did not, would now vote to..."? :) All this Brexit stuff's too complicated for more than interest, I'd guess. Edit: Hm. Public poll. Does that discourage people?
