This is puzzling, I can only imagine some kind of means-tested benefit.
Â
BigPP might have the answer in Pension Credit, and if it is, opens the door to more types of benefits.

I could hear them passing high overhead the other night, couldn't see them as it was totally dark.

It doesn't affect myself; the question was partly hypothetical, but also may be of concern to someone I know.

I understand that a person will get the Basic State Pension if they have a minimum of 10 qualifying years , and the Full State Pension if the have more than 30. However I can't find any info for anyone who has less (or no) qualifying years. There are some people who have never been in the "system" since leaving school, so they would be in this position. Universal Credit now ends at retirement age but in the past (if I remember right) Social Security could be claimed (means tested) if State Pension wasn't eligible.

There is no compulsion means you canât force anyone to practice Islam, I donât think any of the different sect in Islam practice forcing someone to change their religion to Islam.Â
The problem arises when a muslim wishes to renounce his/her faith or convert to another.
Â
FROM ISLAM QAÂ Â https://islamqa.org/shafii/seekersguidance-shafii/169535/what-is-the-punishment-for-apostasy-in-islam/
Â
There is no compulsion in Religion.
As for the verse, âThere is no compulsion in religionâ (Qurâan, 2:256), the scholars advise that it refers specifically to compelling a non-Muslim to embrace Islam.Â
What is the punishment for apostasy in Islam? One set of scholars say apostates should be put to death and others say only apostates who commit treason/blasphemy should be put to death. Which is correct?
Â
The Schools of Jurisprudence
Abdullah ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, âWhoever changes their religion, kill themâ (Bukhari).Â
The above narration and others form the basis for the ruling agreed upon by all four schools of jurisprudence that the apostate must be killed. However, they agree that such an order may only be passed by an Islamic ruler or a representative of his court. In addition, three of the four schools require that the apostate, after having been declared as such in court, be given an opportunity to repent. The Hanafi school considers the giving of this opportunity to be recommended and not required. It also takes the view that a female apostate may not be killed (al-Mawsuah al-Fiqhiyyah).
Â
The fact that the execution of apostates is only permitted in an Islamic country where the ruler or his representative passes the judgment is of utmost importance. No human being, no matter how serious his crime, can ever be killed without the process of a valid Islamic court. This effectively means that the death penalty will not be passed on an apostate in 99 percent of countries around the globe.

Perhaps the old Stannington village was not at that time serviced with town gas. Anyone know if Bradfield/High Bradfield is on mains gas?

Good question, possibly because it's what is laid down in some religious texts which some wish to follow to the letter.

Â
Many follow laws of the country, as they should. But "way of life" is a different thing and entirely subjective.
Â
Â
Agreed that "way of life" is subjective without some context. "Society" is presumably meant in the context of a society as existed prior to mass immigration and to some extent after that. I would think that immigrants, asylum seekers and illegal entrants leave or escape their country of origin because our "way of life/society" was felt to be superior to theirs.

In 1962, a major gas pipline was laid from Crosspool area, down Den Bank to the pumping station just before the S bend (largely masked with trees) on Rivelin Valley Rd, down to the river then up through the woods to what was the new Stannington estate. Left a big scar on the landscape which is now healed over. I'm not sure where the exact start and finish points were.

The other religions have integrated into society ( ie our laws and way of life) like the Jews, J.Ws, roman Catholics.

55 minutes ago, cressida said:âIf they decide to go and vote for a Party of Islam, Labour could be in massive trouble in those seats⊠I think this poses a really interesting question about what may happen at the next general election.
âPlenty of seats in this country could be turned by a party of Islam and what would that mean for Britain going forward, do you think, if we had a religion-based party gaining seats in the House of Commons?â
Following the article, the Electoral Commission has now said it has rejected the party's application.
Muslim Parliament of Great Britain
The Muslim Manifesto proposes setting up a "Council of Muslim Women in Britain", stating that "It is for Muslim women themselves to develop an Islamic lifestyle in the context of the needs of the Muslim community in Britain. It is also for Muslim women to play a major part in the public life of the Muslim community in Britain... The fact is that a Muslim woman cannot be a western woman... Muslim women have a higher and nobler place in society than the so-called "emancipated" women in the west".
There are laws on the British Statute Book that are in direct conflict with the laws of Allah; these relate to such matters as usury, abortion, homosexuality, gambling, sale and consumption of alcohol, and the abolition of capital punishment.

The car in the photo is not a Daimler Dart.I had seven Daimler Darts in my time and they did not have a flat topped rear wheel arch.The car in the picture I would guess is a Ford 10 Special with a Typhoon fibre glass body,but it is only a guess.
Kind Regards
Bri
That's what struck me when I first spotted it, a Ford Special with fi-glass body. My father had a Ford Ashley-bodied special, it was mounted on the Ford Pop chassis I believe, and if you look carefully in the pic I think it has the Ford Pop wheels.

Nice picture of the MK111 Zephyr & FB Vauxhall outside the chemist (had both ).
Â

Yes I couldn't quite place the Daimler, Singer Gazzelle behind it? Also what appears to be a Ford 10cwt van.

Spent a lot of time (probably too much time ) in the Jolly Buffer.
I'm looking at the pictures looking for things or people I might know, like you do.
And there's John Blake from the tobacconist on the roundabout (I used to do his windows).
I was thinking the same thing, Loved Uncle Sam'.
Any-one remember 'Aussis' in the Tesco's precinct? did the best 'Blue cheese burgers'  đđ đ

Did you spot the policeman on what looks like an LE Velocette on the Moor Island?

Plenty of innovation but a fella I worked with got one of the first that rolled out and it was a nightmare
Yep, excellent tow car, I had the 1500 version, towed a 21ft boat on a 4 wheel trailer to SW Scotland, there and back, think it weighed twice as much as the car. Finally sold it when I was having difficulty getting the gears, so put two cans of STP in before the sale. Slept in it too, the seats (like other BL cars) were filled with the expensive Dunlop foam in them so never sagged.

Most of my working life I have gone through the gamut of Company cars ,mainly Fords and Vauxhallâs.Later Saabâs,BMWs .
Never went for a Merc,or even an Audi Quattro when I had the opportunity,although that was a car I would have loved when younger.
Anyway my first car was an Austin A40 countryman  costing £150 that gave me a freedom beyond my wildest dreams and took me to Devon,Wales,Scotland and many a run into Derbyshire.
Many a bump start from upper Walkley down the hill and messing about with plugs ,points and distributors.
Â
Â
A friends brother is currently racing an E reg A 40 Farina in classic car races, I've seen it on his trailer.
Â
Most memorable car was Ford Cortina 2L GXL K reg., with vinyl roof, best motorway car I've had. Bought it from a chap near top of Whitehouse Lane in 1981/2.

So that is around 5% of my monthly pay, but a much lower percentage for an average or above average earner.
Why not fine everyone the same percentage of their pay?
Its the same with endorsements, they will increase your insurance by 30% etc, but that doesnt matter to a rich man.
Â
Â
Why not also base insurance premiums and pay-outs in proportion to ones wealth?

Perhaps you have already gone down this road?

You don't need rose-tinted glasses to confirm that visiting the town centre (and many other areas) was more cohesive and relaxed back in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
