Well, quite. "If I go there will be trouble, if I stay there will be double". Not sure why they go on about it for three minutes and 10 seconds when the answer is immediately obvious.

But it is a Facebook business page, Sue.

Hmmm. A facebook page for a guy called Ian who knows a fair bit about Windows 10 is found by a guy called Ian who knows a fair bit about Windows 10. "Stumbled"?

Not unsurprisingly as the RTA really isn't concerned with contract law. A liability is not a contract. You might understand the insurance game, but you just don't understand what a contract is.

As the article points out, The Obama campaign was upfront with the Facebook users who submitted their data, where CA were not, so the Obama campaign is very much in the clear there. But, both campaigns were equally guilty of accessing the friends information without their permission, adding them to a database and contacting them. That is a pretty crucial parallel.

That's where flocker spotter is wrong.

That may be so, but it still does not establish a contract between the insurance company and the third party. There is a very important legal difference between being allowed to 'make a claim' versus a legal contract being established.

I understand your logic, but surely there is no contract between the insurance company and the third party? The insurance company is just covering the insured's losses - should that contract fail then the insured person is merely liable for the losses him/herself?

Just about all of them, Virgin excepted, rely on BT (well, Openreach) for the 'last mile' from the exchange to the house. The differences between them are the equipment in the exchange. Normal broadband is copper from the exchange to the house. Infinity and other 'fibre' broadband are fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) and then copper to the house. Virgin are fibre all the way to the house (FTTP).

If you want to find if your internal wiring is the cause, then you need to find your 'master' socket (i.e. the one the outside wires first run to). If you take the front fascia off of the master socket, you will find the test socket (if it's not there, you've not got the master). Plus your router into that and if is still failing, then it's not your wiring.

It's really only the under 25s/over 65s that showed a dramatic difference. Plus voting demographics can be looked at in a number of ways: north vs south, higher vs lower educated - even salary levels seemed to play a part. And, as we learnt in London, it doesn't actually need a lot of people to create a riot. Sadly, I think we will need to wait until it actually goes pear-shaped before full realisation of the Brexit mess will be understood. And just as sadly, it is now far too late to try and understand what exactly concerned Brexit voters and try to at least meet them somewhere in the middle. It seems to be the age we are in - first Brexit, then Trump... next will probably be Corbyn. The era of the extreme kneejerk vote that, in the end, causes more damage than good to exactly those that voted for it. It seems so recent that we complained that all the parties were too samey and close to the centre. If only we had that 'problem' again. As they say, be careful what you wish for.

The Outer Hebrides? They have to go somewhere, and as soon as that somewhere becomes as unattractive (i.e expensive) as your CPZ, they'll be back. The irony of your CPZ championing is that it will speed up this effect for you.

I have it on good authority that they are put there by aliens, to mark out who would be a prime candidate for abduction for experiments on other planets. I'm off to buy some tinfoil. I hear it makes a useful hat.

CPZs only currently work as they push the people who are too poor/cheap to buy a permit out of the zone. When everywhere close by is a CPZ, those cars will return and you'll be paying good money for the same old problem. And by then, you'll be stuck with it and you'll be paying ?100+ a year to *not* be able to park your car anywhere close.

I always keep a tenner tucked in with my Oyster card for emergencies.

Probably your boiler's condensation pipe (which runs outside) is frozen up. It should have a warning light on it, though you might have to google for a manual to find out what they mean. If it is, then a few kettles of hot water should melt it.

I was just thinking yesterday, watching an old Top of the Pops. In a couple of decades time, when we look back at the 2010s, what will be the fashion trend that today's young one's will be most embarrassed about? Hipsterism, whilst the obvious, is not widespread enough, so I'm guessing for men, stupid beards and for women, stupid eyebrows.

May: "Ah, Boris, Michael - come in. I have received this petition from one of the unions. Apparently they are very keen to keep the Working Time Directive. Quite a number of a people have signed it." Boris: "A large number of people? Gosh - there are tens of thousands! Flibbertygibbits. We'll have to abandon all our plans now." Gove: "Good point well made, Boris. Online petitions are such a rare thing - we must treat it as the true Voice of the People. It has spoken to us... and so we shall listen!!" This will never happen. Though in other news, thousands of people have been added to the TUC email contact list.
