    Dunno, but it's always uphill...
  1. Good to see the EU flag flying. 9th May is Europe day, a time to celebrate joint achievements, and shared objectives. The EU flag should be seen far more often - other EU nations, each with their own national characteristics and idiosyncrasies, have no problem displaying the EU flag all the time alongside of their own national flag.
  2. I would like to think the local police would be making arrests and dealing with people in the appropriate manner - particularly if threats and intimidation are occurring.
  3. Many drivers do not appear to be able to comprehend the signage appertaining to bus lanes as it is - I can't see how adding information about BHs is going to improve this situation. It'd just confuse them even more... Observation and experience only, but by way of example - 9 times out of 10 when I drive down Chesterfield Road near Homebase at, say, 1030am I am the only one driving down the 'bus lane', where everyone else sits in the right hand lane. They don't seem to understand the basic English on the signs which indicate the 'bus lane' ceased at 0930. Similarly on Ecclesall Rd South. Same thing.
  4. Grown people sucking on e-cigs/vaping just remind me of toddlers with their dummies...
  5. At Hungerford, a police officer was killed and an ambulance fired upon if I recall... Armed police need to clear these incident, otherwise you are just sending in more potential fresh targets and increasing the casualty rate.
  6. 19c? Blimey, I'm glad I don't pay your heating bill! Ours won't come on until the temperature gets below about 14c.
  7. You're correct. I parked in a supermarket car park last week which was quite empty. I parked almost as far away from the store as possible, with literally dozens of empty spaces round me. When I came back, there were still dozens of empty spaces around me. Except for the one on the driver's side, where a crappy, matt red, million year old Micra had been parked literally 10 inches from my driver's door... Why do people do this for crying out loud...
  8. Let's hope he's not in the last two, the man is bonkers.
  9. I actually quite like it. I have to say, that if people think that's one of the ugliest buildings in the UK, they don't get out much!
  10. I agree - unless the wheels are worth a small fortune, then locking wheel nuts are the work of Satan. They can be a nightmare to get off. I had massive problems with mine recently, so when they did eventually come off I just put ordinary nuts back on. The lockers are just not worth the hassle.
  11. Paris is a wonderful place, but good grief, the amount of dog kak is unbelievable. The UK on the whole is much improved in recent years, but it's still a problem - I personally think that the degree of responsibility many owners feel to pick up the effluent is directly proportional to how may people they think are watching...
  12. To my mind, any notion of accurately prophesising where the UK will be in fiscal terms, or indeed pretty much any terms, at this stage of the game is a little strange. There is so much knee jerking going on the whole country could well be on crutches next week. I think it's like trying to predict what level of degree a toddler will get as he/she turns up for their second week at nursery... We need to look a few years down the road, and despite the many confident, assertive posts on both sides of the argument, nobody knows. For what it's worth, I was a narrow remain voter. But I certainly don't believe some of the extreme views of doom promulgated by certain groups...
  13. Building insurance is often included though...
