If you have what I and several people I know have / have had, it can make you feel quite blue. It’s common to feel depressed when you’re unwell. This thing takes a good couple of weeks at least before you feel back to normal, so go easy on yourself x

They might not be related. Could your itchy forehead just be from the cold and central heating?

Not if he tells lies to achieve his aims, which he does.

For me, it's not about a twee, rose tinted, yearning for a lost England that never really existed. From an aesthete's point of view, I just prefer the architecture and craftsmanship of yonder years, as well as glass, ceramics, furniture and decoratives. So much now is bland, cookie-cutter and soul-less. It's very sad how, on this forum these days, you can't even comment on liking an old house, without it being somehow sneered upon.

But no one's arguing that pollution is bad and can cause asthma in children.

Yes, you're right. I was conflating Art Deco with 1920s and it does have more Arts and Crafts features. Either way, I think it's a pretty house.

I'm assuming it was built around the 1920, 30s, but I might be wrong. If it was, that would make it too recent for Arts and Crafts. (Tho I'm a big fan of Arts and Crafts too).

God forbid we should have a discussion that doesn't align with the forum doctrines. That Piermont Green house is a gem. A great example of art deco at its finest. I love that period of architecture and design.

Your post doesn't prove that Khan's adult onset asthma is caused by pollution. First you posted a link to the Lancet to say there's no clear link to adult onset asthma. And then a link to an article saying children can develop asthma from pollution - we all know that. Desperate times, Mal? This post smacks of 'I hate common sense'.

Yes it may well not be C-19, but whatever it is, it's like wildfire and everyone is describing the same symptoms. I pretty a saline nasal wash stopped me from getting a follow-on sinus infection. It's an unpleasant but strangely satisfying process

Def Covid. It follows a very strange trajectory and you never bloody know where you are with it. It took me three weeks to feel fully well again. I always know it by the very distinctive sore throat it gives you and horrendous upper respiratory tract symptoms. It never feels as intense as flu cos you don't get the rigor you'll get with bad flu, but it sure has its own set of crappy symptoms

NEWSFLASH: In case anyone didn't already know, dangerous driving is.................................................................................................. .............................................. dangerous.

If the cyclist wasn't wearing lights and hi viz, did it really happen..........?

I don't think anyone here is claiming the Torygraph is the paragon of good reporting, or impartiality. But the BBC should be

I agree with this, I'm afraid. It's funny that certain people are up in arms about Rockets posting 'misinformation' in the Traffic threads, but seem OK with it in broadcast, as long as it aligns with their views. You have to ask yourselves, what is it that you really want? If it's an echo chamber then just watch Fox News or CNN, however you lean. But then what's the point of it all?
