  1. Yes, I like that train of thought and whatever the punishment, tights and a pink tutu are mandatory.
  2. Does this boast usually include the Peak District though, the map shown doesn't. Even without the loss of trees it's apparent Sheffield would not be number one if it was based on foliage within city limits.
  3. Many of the homes are holiday homes, there aren't so many permanent resident Britons but the fact remains that we do settle in other parts of Europe. I don't know whether some people are hypocrites or just plain blind to facts but migration is a two way affair. I believe that the majority of Britons, including Leave are fine and accepting with migration because they see the plus side, it's a little sad that the minority make the biggest noise though.
  4. Consequences pt3 someone expressed doubts over their decision, I can't remember who exactly.
  5. I've never felt guilty, only sadness over a friendship coming to an end. It's an inevitable eventuality but it's so damned hard to say goodbye, it's a massive loss but that's a measure of how we feel about our pets so that's a good thing.
  6. Aaah! Coventry, worth a visit if only for the 2-tone village
  7. A fair percentage will be dropping kids off on their way to work but yes, many simply don't entertain walking.
  8. Cars are an impenetrable barrier aren't they so you can hurl abuse and offer up one or two fingers and there's no way any harm can come to you.
  9. ..with the possibility of opening five new ones so not all bad news.
  10. Have to say (again) that I don't do things with the next generation in mind, I don't see that I owe them a future, the same as I don't hold previous generations responsible for past events. Our son will make his own way through life, we've guided him as best we can and he knows wrong from right, no axes to grind or grudges to bear. He doesn't hate me for my choices politically or otherwise, why should he, to say that he'll never forgive is an untruth. He is intelligent enough to understand that people make their own choices for their own reasons.
  11. Go to YouTube and search Cadburys Smash Robots for an explanation.
  12. Hopefully never enough to make the difference but there are always pockets reserved for silly folk
  13. They can think what they like, I'm quite happy that we opted out of that particular trend. I don't think Americans could cope without them now, it's so entrenched that life without would be scary, though I gather there's an even split for tighter restrictions, there is also (according to one survey) a difference of opinion between Democrats and Republicans on ownership and use.
  14. It's asking the question whether we should!
  15. How does the age of a building affect procedure?
  16. That's a massive undertaking and extremely unlikely as it requires every level of society to make a concerted effort to change, nice thought though.
  17. Go on, I'll ask. What's being implied here?
  18. I'm pleased that MOST old folk end up with a few grand in the bank coz we have sod all at present.
