Flexo

Totally. Because drinking is so much more fun when you're underage.

Yes planes will eventually be able to fly in and out of UK airspace when we replace the Open Skies with something else - at huge expense and for no obvious benefit. Michael O’Leary, chief executive of Ryanair, whose current ownership structure would also see it classified as a non-EU controlled airline after Brexit, is predicting “a real crisis” in April 2019. “There will be disruption, partly because it is in the interests of the Germans and the French to push the ownership agenda”. What do the Germans think? Carsten Spohr, boss of Lufthansa, made a pointedly political intervention. Flight disruption, he said, was one of the ways the airline industry could show the Brits the full consequences of the Leave vote and “that might be a good thing”. “It’s only when you get to that stage [disruption], where you’re going to persuade the average British voter they were lied to in the entire Brexit debate”, added Mr O’Leary.

Some areas in UK are profitable, others are in the investment stage. Yes their app can be rather flakey.

Stress? 35 officers to watch 20 private security to watch someone fell a tree, just in case a pensioner goes to stand underneath it?! Hahahahahahahah. Poor snowflakes.

You need to determine what it is that you want to fill before you can choose a product to fill it. Expanding foam is OK for big gaps that can't be seen. Don't use too much because it expands a lot. Caulk for small gaps. Improve ventilation if it is poor (e.g. signs of mildew). Refusing to have the grandkids around does sound like a massive overreaction. It sounds like a better neighbour problem than having a party animal, stompy meat head or screaming baby next door IMHO.

They were riding the Alta Redshift MX dirt bikes. Alta have no dealers in Europe yet. Zero Motorcycles are well-established and have some UK dealers including http://englishelectricmotorco.com/?page_id=148 ---------- Post added 10-05-2018 at 10:23 ---------- The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a 12kWh battery? 12kWh x approx 13p cost per kWh = £1.56 for a full charge. People don't usually discharge to 0% then charge to 100%. £1 or so for a typical charge seems reasonable. They quote a 33 mile electric range. 5p, 6p a mile with no tailpipe emissions and a smooth ride sounds good to me.

How do you identify which people on yellow bicycles are drug dealers and which are not?

No it doesn't. That was Daily Mail FUD.

"Hello supplier. You're quite dependent on your combined sales to Asda and Sainsbury aren't you? Great. Find a way to drop your prices by 10%."

Theresa May and David Davis said a new "comprehensive free trade agreement and a comprehensive customs agreement" would deliver "the exact same benefits as we have [now]" after the UK leaves. I think the easiest way to have "the exact same benefits" is to stay in the single market and customs union and therefore not bother with all the hassle. Davis, Boris, Farage and co cannot deliver their Brexit promises because they are contradictory. It's a mess of the politicians' own making so those who voted for Brexit because they wanted to give the politicians a good kicking have had their willing and can enjoy watching as Brexit crashes into reality.

That's great news! Thanks for sharing.

He is indeed. Born wealthy, privately educated, hedge-fund manager. He and his wife have wealth of £100 million. It's only natural that he should want to help the wealthy classes to avoid a financial transaction tax and frustrate the EU attempts to reduce offshore tax evasion. A true Brexiteer. “It was put to the chief whip that we would not stand for a financial transactions tax. We want to keep the City ahead of the rest of the EU,” the source added. It follows calls by the European commission to open up an inquiry into British law to stop corporations from shifting profits to offshore subsidiaries. Last week Rees-Mogg told parliament the EU might “find an incentive to move quite quickly” to legislate to regulate the City and impose a financial transactions tax. The second phase of Brexit talks, which will begin in March, will be dominated by discussions over the transition period. The UK will continue to abide by EU law for roughly two years after leaving but not have a role in any decision-making institutions. The UK will leave the EU on 29 March next year. The Labour party said last year it would raise at least £4.7bn a year through a new financial transaction tax. Labour’s proposals are separate from the financial transactions tax being discussed by EU member states. Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, promised a “reckoning” for those responsible for the financial crisis. (The Guardian)

March 2019 is the move to the transitional arrangement. The final date is intended to be Dec 2020. So they have lots longer to posture about impossible ways to leave the Customs Union whilst having (effectively) a customs union between Northern Ireland and Ireland, and having no different arrangements between the Great Britain and Northerm Ireland, and France and Ireland will be in the Customs Union, therefore England and France must have the same customs arrangements. Except that England is insisting on being able to make its own arrangements at the same time. And this is the easy bit. Then the penny may finally drop that the UK already has the optimal situation and that people have just been lied to by billionaire newspaper owners who want to avoid EU attempts to crack down on offshore tax avoidance.

That's exactly why they want to acquire the business.

Phew, that's a relief! I was worried that maybe someone had been seen in possession of a red plastic trumpet.

How much did your friend pay for the two sofas to be delivered to him originally, and for the sofas themselves? Disposal is part of the whole lifecycle that your friend became responsible for when he acquired those items. He cannot expect them to just disappear for nothing when they cease to be of value to him. Of course, though, people don't see their responsibilities like that and may try to avoid funding the disposal costs of their possessions. It would be better to charge the costs up front via the retailers so they are paid when the item is purchased and disposal is free. We'd remove the fly tipping problem and reduce consumption.

LOL yes the attempts at stereotyping people have been laughable. I particularly enjoyed the Chief Constable on Toby Foster show on Radio Sheffield when he was trotting out all the tired phrases in an attempt to defend the way SYP has humiliated itself. He managed "why don't they get a job" and "they are mostly retired people" during the same interview. It shouldn't take a detective's skills to work that one out.... ---------- Post added 29-03-2018 at 21:20 ---------- That's actually an argument for retaining those mature trees on Sheldon Road rather than chopping them down and planting saplings. Here's why. The humps in the pavement have occurred over the decades since the pavement was last resurfaced. The roots get thicker, this pushes the ground up a little and you get a small crack and it gets wider over time as it weathers. Then the council patch it by putting a layer of tarmac on the top, which raises the level. Then repeat that process a few times over the decades. The council should have resurfaced the pavement sooner, but we know how they neglected resurfacing for many years and patched instead. The roots are below the level of the pavement. So it's easy enough to scrap off the humped surface, relay it as perfectly flat. They proved this on Western Road, Crookes, where they did exactly that as a trial run for one tree to examine its roots. Go marvel at how they relaid the pavement so flat! So when they claim that they must fell because of a humped pavement, most times they are just making that up in order to try and get to their target of felling half of the street trees in the city. And what if they were to fell a tree and plant a sapling? It will grow at a faster rate than a mature tree. Its roots will expand more quickly than the roots of mature trees and therefore it will cause more pavement upheave than leaving the old tree would have done.

Yes the offence is established in practice as preventing passage along the highway. The prosecution will struggle to prove that one, given that the person in question was sitting in front of a fence that had been erected right across the highway. Previous arrests in the tree dispute for obstructing the highway have seen charges dropped before the case reached court. The arrest of a lady for blowing a plastic trumpet shows how desperate the police are to make their presence appear worthwhile.

The contract requires at least 17,500 trees to be felled. The council say that all fellings must be agreed by them. From answers at council meetings, if the council does not agree to a felling then it costs them money. They say they don't have money. Therefore they always agree to fellings that Amey propose. Amey have to meet this 17,500 target and therefore they propose lots of fellings. They find spurious reasons to fell so that they can give the appearance of meeting a policy about only felling "as a last resort". And that's how we have this situation where they fell because there is a slightly uplifted kerbstone or a crack in decades-old pavement. They pretend that dealing with those things is impossible unless they fell the tree. Other councils would just send a couple of guys out to deal with it in a morning. And that's the problem with PFI contracts. The supplier is incentivised to play silly games like this and common sense is abandoned.

Don't worry - you'll be able to have a blue driving license instead! Think how wonderful that will be.

Crime commissioner urges Sheffield Council to find ‘political solution’ to tree-felling row Crime commissioner Alan Billings has called on Sheffield Council to find a political resolution to the city’s bitter tree-felling dispute as South Yorkshire Police was accused of “a complete waste of resources” after deploying dozens of officers to oversee the latest work.

Ofo raised $1.7 billion in finance at the end of 2017 and expect to raise another $1bn. Some of their UK locations are profitable already. Time will tell whether Sheffield is civilised enough. They say that, in their experience, vandalism usually dies down after an initial flurry.

Love the way you just make stuff up.

London economy subsidises rest of UK, ONS figures show The first attempt by the Office for National Statistics to break down the UK’s budget deficit by region has demonstrated the importance of the capital and highlighted how taxes and public spending are used to narrow the north-south divide. Experimental data from the ONS showed that only three regions of the UK – London, the south-east and the east of England – ran a budget surplus in the 2015-16 financial year, the latest year for which figures are available. Every Londoner provided £3,070 more in tax revenues than they received in public spending, while people living in the south-east ran a surplus of £1,670 per head.
