    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is profoundly wrong. I can see why, for one extreme example, a PM who suddenly died in office, might be replaced by another person and not result in an immediate GE. After all, it does take some time to arrange a GE and someone has to do the job immediately. Other than in such cases, a GE...

    Sunak would also be a disaster. But possibly slightly less of a Fukushima.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolutely feint praise - but intended. Still, Starbucks' coffee isn't as bad as their tea. I am convinced that Starbucks' choice of coffee, aside from cost issues, is chosen to work with lots of milk, sugar, sysrups. As a black coffee drinker, it is foul.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just put Labour in by acclamation. Or all tories resign. It's getting rid of this government that is so important - not how.

    Better than Starbucks - but that isn't saying much. Seems to be mostly (or entirely?) Robusta. Bearable when travelling but never a choice. Coffee number 1 is one of the few chains I am happy to go to.

    That's what I really really really don't fancy. Not so much doing it as having to do it regardless the weather, how you feel, etc.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There are no suitable rivers/canals round here! Doesn't matter what the mooring or boat costs. :) I don't fancy being stuck amidst a criss-cross of access pontoons/decks. And with other boats within inches.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I fancy living on a boat. A very modest narrowboat would do me fine in terms of space. But there are only marina locations round here - and they are not so appealing. Also, so very often when walking by canals elsewhere, the combination of diesel exhaust and smoke from solid fuel heating has...

    We need an ex-PM. The current one comes across as an orc-ist. How evil can she get? And Coffey explaining why she voted against protecting children from smoke in cars serves to emphasise the moral vacuum.

    The quality of the UV stabilisation is another matter. Albeit it ends up with the same problems.

    It is surely inconceivable they are not UV stabilised? You can see such stuff disintegrating in months and we have been successfully sealing windows, doors, cars, aircraft, for many years.

    I'll repeat that installing panels over/round car parks would make much sense. Help keep cars cooler so reduce a/c requirement. Protect pedestrians from the worst of wind and rain.
