  1. Chocolate eggs and bunny rabbits are so relevant to the Easter message.
  2. https://uk.investing.com/academy/crypto/what-is-bitcoin-mining/ Apparently you can mine for it so step one would be to buy a pick and shovel. Arthur Scargill is yer man.
  3. Their threatening and ominous letters are worthy of unscrupulous debt collectors as I found when trying and finally getting a rebate on money paid. However I am quite happy to pay a little over £3 a week for the content that I do enjoy and remain free from 15 minutes every hour of adverts.
  4. @peak4 @https://www.justanswer.co.uk/traffic-law/mzex2-morning-recieved-speeding-fine-34mph-30mph.html As you said it is a guideline only and this one was also in Lincolnshire 😁
  5. Perhaps to my shame over 40 years of driving around the country I have picked up a few.All but one regarding the 30 mph limit plus one on the M1. That particular one was at least 30 years ago as I exited the A1 near Grantham and it was a roadside police camera. No I don’t have the paperwork but reverting to my comment I would not have been voting for fines when they applied to me 😁 even if it was for 35 mph.
  6. So the EU have various measures in place to safeguard their borders. Wasn’t that a major reason for the pro Brexit vote?
  7. I have had a fine at 34 mph plus 3 points ,but I would also reiterate my main point that the continuing and recovery of “lost” education across the board is easier for a teacher to manage than individuals opting out at various times as suits their parents.
  8. The fine is there for a purpose. If the question was do you think drivers should be fined £100 for exceeding the 30 mph speed limit by 4 mph I doubt that there would be overwhelming support from motorists. There is also a flaw in your logic when comparing this issue to the school lockdown closures. Teachers have a syllabus to get through by progression over a term or school year. If all pupils were absent for a period then measures can be taken to pick up where they left off. If a number of individual pupils are missing at different times it would be far more difficult to cater for.
  9. If you are implying that most parents take their children on holiday during term time then you are wrong. I can quite see that those that do or would like to are united in their dislike of getting fined.
  10. Our state education system such as it is needs to do all possible with available resources to provide adequate to excellent schooling to children. I think that this is particularly important for infants and juniors where the basics for progress are established including a desire and work ethic . In a one size fits all system I fully understand why parents are discouraged from allowing their children to miss lessons unnecessarily and see no alternative to stating a policy and then imposing fines. The seven month closure due to Covid restrictions is irrelevant in the greater scheme of things.
  11. Alternatively you could put a little Giant Redwood inside a bungalow
  12. Oxygen is also needed ,also pitch pine is a “soft wood” but resists decay more than some “hard woods” due to its’ high resin content.
  13. Some materials are tried ,tested and proven over many years. Venice is built on wooden piles which have petrified and lasted for centuries due to the absence of oxygen in the marshes. In other situations wood decays in a few years due to wet rot /dry rot or is subject to other risks such as woodworm or in some countries termites. Give me a traditional brick or stone construction anytime. Steel and concrete builds are also well tested ......apart from that aero bar type concrete which was introduced and now found to be less than satisfactory.
  14. The more usual outcome in similar attacks is that they are on a suicide mission whether by their own hand or accepting they will be killed by guards /police/military.That they escaped at all I find surprising.
  15. There’s more than that who don’t have a mind of their own and latch on to any conspiracy theory fed to them from dubious sources. Really amazing👋
  16. It could be if you nominate a Labour P.M .worse than Johnson.
  17. The one that went to Roundhay School 😃
  18. I think that the Chechen Muslims,if they are responsible would be very aware of what they are playing with after many years of strife with Russia.
  19. Plus the fact that annual attempted boat crossings which was called a national disaster when it concerned a few hundred is now measured in hundreds per month and heading for record numbers in 2024.
  20. I am sure that the British who populated the Empire and their offspring had similar leanings towards their ancestral origins.
  21. That’s what the government is doing with the women’s money! Treat people fairly including the above,victims of contaminated blood transfusions,victims of the Post Office scandal etc. and then ask where the money is coming from to pursue vanity projects ,Rwanda plans and MOD spending on disastrous projects. UK governments primary aim should be to look after the U.K. population.
  22. Good landlords with property to let at fair rentals. OK by me. Preponderance of holiday lets in attractive locations which are empty for 6 months of the year less justifiable as they do little for the communities and turn into ghost towns from October to April. Meanwhile the communities die because locals cannot compete. As a result local amenities suffer. Just my opinion
  23. Cannot edit so it should have read “dying as a result”.
  24. 1)Quite a lot when it concerns property that is empty for much of the year and locals cannot live with the inflated property prices.Communities are dieing as a result. 2) Have you been through any of the Sheffield hospitals. For the first time in my relatively long life I spent 3 nights in the NGH and have attended the Hallamshire.I have now been seen and attended by Indians,Pakistanis,Irish,South African,Caribbean ,Polish and other Eastern European’s.Even some Englis and Scots All have been great and seem to have a decent work ethic.
