Anna you have put your finger on what is a key issue and does not apply just to buses. Our ministers travel first class on the trains and do not have to worry about buying the cheapest ticket, they go through VIP channels at the airport and fly first class and if they are traveling on their own money then expect to be upgraded and still treated as VIP. they either go private for health care or simply jump the queue and of course they send their kids to private schools even when they are against it for the nation as a whole

is that before or after the government contribution? As for any sensible response surly it would be relevant to inform us of size of house how many occupants and if it is a modern double glazed and fully insulated property of a barn in the field

I am sorry but I disagree just as the survey must past the ethics requirements then so should the survey also comply with best practice market research. At the University of Sheffield there was (I don't know if there still is) a requirement that all surveys emanating from the university should be approved by the market research department. poor quality market research is simply going to lead to poor quality (or sometimes invalid) results You should not be excusing poor quality research - it is a fact of modern day life that the ability to conduct market research using things like survey monkey has become so easy that many companies do not appreciate the need for professional market researchers

I am surprised that Hallam allowed this be sent as above there are many questions that the scale does not match it is thoroughly unprofessional and should have been approved by a market research professional before being distributed. Would having your body measured / measuring your own body manually interfere with any of your other priorities? o you think manual body measurement is an effective method for acquiring external body measures? Do you think manual body measurement is morally and ethically sound? Do you think a external 3D booth body scanner is morally and ethically sound? It is clear how my data will be used and stored when my body is manually measured? just how can anyone answer this without knowing who and why the measuring is being undertaken by How much effort does it take a practitioner to have your body measured using a external 3D booth body scanner? would it not be better to ask the practitioner how much effort it takes I could go on and on

There are two issues here. Firstly the world price of commodities and secondly the the costs hidden in the charges by the government. World prices may well fall to previous levels if the war in Ukrainian ends but the U.K. government policy/incompetence will mean that we will be seeing higher prices

A sample of 1500 as long as it is representative of the constituency and you understood the statistics is more than than sufficient. Should look at research surveys then you will see that a sample size of 1500 is often used to understand national opinions not just local opinions. I appreciate you are not a market researcher and may not have any understanding of what you are talking about . I have not seen the report and the methodology or questions so I can not vouch for the validity of this survey I am just saying you are wrong in jumping to conclusions without evidence

If it wasn’t for the standing charges my bill would be more than reasonable but there were massive increases at the last contract with the same company designed to penalise low users like me and to pay for the incompetence of government and regulators 48.35p vs 7p =691% electric 27.22p vs 7p = 389% gas

Apathy, they don’t believe anyone will act on the results, because it was from Labour any number of reasons more to the point the big question is how representative of the constituency the survey is.

I have to agree there are plenty of able bodied people under pensionable age who can not be bothered to work and are happy to scrounge of others. They should be forced to go out and work. of course the government is not helped by the fact that it’s immigration policy is partly to blame for labour shortages

Warpig one might look at how the police respond to incidents in far too many cases there are far too many officers at the scene after the actual emergency is over. Look at streets/roads/motorways closed for hours after an incident and count up the number of police and police cars doing nothing more than stopping people and no one doing anything in the closed section

30,000 homes say 60,000 adults. you should be applauding the initiative and asking why most people ignored the consultation I am not a Labour supporter but Paul is one of the better MPs and a very nice person

I guess that if there had only been 7 shots the police would not have responded

Same as the petrol funny how they never seem to buy in advance as prices rise and have to increase the prices but can never reduce them as quickly

It is lucky that so few are arrested as it would cause a massive problem for the courts and then the prison service. We would probably then find murderers being sentenced to a months jail to free space in the prisons. anyone remember the 3 strikes and you are out.

Tough on crime was a slogan not a policy. Was never going to be put into practice but it sure as anything sounded good and some people even believed it.

Hopefully everyone will have enough sense to ignore igors31

they nabbed me at the park and ride at Middlewood a couple of weeks ago and offered me a bus to drive so clearly they are desparate

INDEED

Unfortunately retailers are all too expert at exploiting poor consumer legislation. A well know electrical retailer for instance have for years operated a system of pricing something at an artificially high price in some backwater store for a few days so they can claim it is reduced by £100 or whatever another well know retailer that owns the manufacturer and sets a manufacturers recommended price and yet never charges that price and the products are on permanent "sale" with supposed savings of some 50%

I have said before it is utter madness to split the 52/52A between two companies who then fail to cooperate on a day to day basis operationally to ensure if they have problems the other company is not also cancelling the bus before or after. in theory with one company responsible for the whole route there ought to be a better day to day service but then that may be a big assumption with stagecoach and first. Guess the same applies on the 120.

Sorry but your original question was far from simple. Just go back and read what you wrote it was hard to even work out what the question was whilst admiring your new carpet anyway just how do you expect anyone on a forum like this to say who(if either) might be right. At the end of the day if anyone was offering me a brand new boiler to replace an inefficient old and thermostatic radiators I would not be posting on social media I would be pestering them to get on with it as soon as possible

This is post 21 and you are still having to explain what the question is The carpet is a red herring if they dammage the carpet their insurance would have to replace it

To be honest i did not look to see if they were vinyl thought they were paper pasted on to window

I assume it was not tailing a tram train as not at all unusual to see one or other following immediately behind
