Pathetic if Biden's visit forces the pace. Hardly taking back control, is it? Isn't everyone now following Johnson's instruction to bin forms? Johnson tells Northern Ireland businesses to ‘bin’ customs forms Boris Johnson told supporters there would be ‘no forms, no checks, no barriers of any...

Anyone fancy joining me in seeking a ban on PP? Priti Patel seeks ban on social media posts that ‘glamourise’ migrant crossings

Always made me think of Boston Stump... The effects of reformation and civil war also took their toll... Somewhat redolent.

But not unheard of:

Does that include mangled after an impact? Rather than just banks of cells due to an internal failure.

Transporting batteries that are new - no problem. But if they have been damaged, they are in an uncertain state. I don't think many carriers would be happy to take them like that. Hence a need for a facility to extract the batteries and do whatever is necessary to ensure they are safe to transport.

You might be right. But if some tax/tariff issues affected things, it could be worth it. Also, it might be necessary to have a full repair facility. I suspect average motor workshops around the country might not have the specialist facilities for things like safe removal (and replacement?) of...

Napier barracks were terrible. So government says it is much better now. The drunken driver says the trail of damage and destruction wasn't his fault because he is sober now.

That would be OK in CE? :)

Even when he came to the UK, I suspected a small assembly outfit rather than a mega-factory.

I end up thinking that the average voter simply isn't really up for a bit of penetration. Home Office found acting illegally. Again. Sue Priti, please.

Positive Covid-19 tests up 22%. Much speculation than schools are now a major factor in transmission. Portugal no longer green.

Maybe - but I was trying not to go further than the blinking obvious.

Never have understood the ridiculous setting of high quotas. It seems obvious that it is better to set a quota that is too low than one that is too high. A too-low quota affects the industry. A too-high quota affects the fish stocks then the industry.

If you'd ever been in a KFC[1], you'd know the answer. [1] Kuwait Fried Chicken. Also, I found it bizarre that chicken shawarma, with the chicken cooked on an amazing vertical charcoal grill, always had one single chip in the middle.

I think it had engines rather than multiple banks of oars.

Police in Spain seize 860 kilos of black and odourless cocaine Three people arrested after seizure of drug disguised as charcoal in northern region of Castilla y León Shouldn't they have disguised it as coke?

Can you think of any mechanism by which you could remotely cause a ship to burst into flames without obvious deployment of weapons such as guns? I came up with the possibility of several directed microwave emitters all concentrating at a single point. Iran warship catches fire and sinks in Gulf...

Higher purchase cost - yes, hence more VAT, yes. But there is a huge difference between the wear and tear from one which does a typical mileage and another that does 100,000 a year. That is in no way accounted for by the purchase price or VAT levied on it. So some mechanism for encouraging low...

There is something I don't like about that simplistic approach. It places no extra costs on someone who purchases and runs a mega-SUV with Formula 1 performance over a basic Zoe. (Other than the direct costs of purchase, electricity, tyres, etc.) But I do like the idea of an MOT at every...
