Trivial amount compared to government and industry money spent for preparing for a no deal, and the further costs if we went for this. Or to put into further context a small percentage on what we will spend restoring the houses of Westminster. And lower than Ress Mogg's net worth.


Although if someone had to stump up for it it should be Dave. Although unlike RM that would bankrupt our ex-PM, Can't find info on TM, but much much smaller riches.

Who is stopping us from leaving Foxy? Have the news got it wrong and it?s the EU who has been coming to London asking for extensions? The uk could have left in March if it had really really really really wanted to - it?s got nothing to do with the EU that parliament has decided that it doesn?t want to leave without a deal.


It?s such a simple concept, yet I?ve come across well educated people who don?t get it: The EU has no say over whether, as current EU members, we stay or leave. We can leave without a deal whenever we want, and if The UK changes its mind it can choose to stay unilaterally. What?s so difficult to understand about that? Is it the word ?unilaterally?? Maybe people don?t understand what the unilateral concept means in this context.


(Please don?t say ?it?s the backstop?, because the backstop has nothing to do with the uk ability to unilaterally leave without a deal, or revoke and stay)

I swing both ways, can't beat a good old fashioned foot and inch, and have even been known to go the extra mile and exchange fluid ounces. But when I'm feeling really adventurous I like to dabble in grams and candelas.

Does that mean I'm bimetric, or should that be biimperial, or perhaps it's bimetricimperial, although a bit of a mouthful that last one, so to speak...

When I studied Physics we learnt it all in metric (SI units) even though it was 1987.


One day I picked up a book in the university library describing physics in Imperial units - just WOW - and I thought what I studied was complicated.

Sky's news is mileskilometers better than the BBC's, far more factual than the Beeb's perceived 'balance'. Will be interesting to see whether FI changes how he reports and tweets...

    • One thing we agree on FM.  I expect that is not new and I remember looking out from a 5th floor over a pavement near Traf Sq 20 years ago and asking what the numerous spots were on an otherwise prestige light grey footpath. Some local authorities put out gum bins but as with all litter just don't drop it.  And fag ends.  And disposable vapes.  And nitrous oxide cylinders!
    • Just a few more days to try and reach the target amount.  Many thanks for all your generosity and kindness 
    • What is also happening - I don't know about Sainsbury's as I no longer shop there, but certainly in other supermarkets and with some manufacturers - is that products remain the same price but the quality or quantity is reduced. Just one example: I buy Waitrose Essential tissues, only because they have plain boxes with no branding once they are in use, and I like the colours (blue for the large ones and mauve  for the smaller ones). The tissues in the mauve box have recently become so thin that they disintegrate virtually immediately you use them. Same with Cushelle quilted toilet rolls. Well, they don't disintegrate, which would be revolting, but they have also got so thin that it's hardly worth buying the quilted ones. And as for  PG Tips ...... 🤬
    • I remember all those glowing recommendations, but I haven't seen any mention of them anywhere lately. Are they still going?
