That takes me back, the good old British Standard. BS plus the kite mark. I once had a pair of plimsolls that were “Empire Made”. They didn’t have the BS plus kite mark and they were **.

It’s the Indian Variant please. Calling it the Delta Variant is being Greek Letterist and there is no room for Letterism on this forum you ******* letterist ****. The Injuns have created a perfectly good coronavirus variant. It’s far superior in terms of transmissibility to the Chinese Mk1...

Data concerning how quickly vaccine protection diminishes must be available. The percentage of double vaccinated people being admitted to hospital must also be known. Why aren’t we seeing it? Are they concerned we might stop gambling and boozing if we do? That would damage the UKs two most...

Fear is a good tool. I’m of the opinion we should just leave things as they are. I won’t be going in pubs, restaurants, cinemas or theatres or on a plane for a very long time, if ever again. Those industrial are dead, killed by coronavirus and keeping them on life support by pumping cash into...

Only the Chinese can answer that question. They are the ones who manufactured the virus, so they may have the sort of information you seek;)

It’s very strange and follows no logical pattern. After the abandonment of all restrictions and the rather childishly named, “freedom day” infection rates have gone down, but are now starting to rise again. A professor of extreme cleverness said the infection rate will now follow an almost...

Have you been following the build-up to the Tokyo Paralympics? The entire Russian wheelchair relay team has been sent home. All have tested positive for WD40.

It’s only affecting the weak and feeble, they deserve it for being weak and feeble. They should get stronger like the rest of us and stop using the NHS that I’m paying for. The selfish, uncharitable bastards!

Dementia Joe hasn’t had a good week either. What a shambles.

I developed a suppository based vaccine, but for all the good it did, you may as well have shoved it up your arse.

My opinion is somewhere between yours and flecc’s We were in a better situation this time last year because we’d had a crippling lockdown the likes of which we’ve not seen since. I think infection rates, hospitalisation and deaths will increase over winter, but if we can do < 500 / day, people...

If the population of Croydon has a large number of people who won’t take up the vaccine, perhaps that same stupidity spills over into testing. Maybe a lot of people in Croydon who have COVID are never tested, don’t make the daily stats and hence the figures look good?

Nothing to do with anything on here but I saw a pair of swans with 10 signets yesterday evening. Never seen that many before.

I’m getting a bit frustrated by the Olympics. Why don’t they hold them in a time zone that allows most of the civilised world to watch at a reasonable hour?

I find them difficult / impossible to balance. When the brake is applied, initially, only one piston moves, when the pad touches the rim, the second piston then moves. When the brake is released, only one piston moves away from the rim, the second remains close to the rim and can rub. The...

Good morning, I’ve been away for a while on a secret mission. What’s the word on here for the apparent fall in coronavirus infections. We hit in excess of 50K infections per day, then we removed most measures intended to reduce transmission and infections plummet. What’s going on? What’s the...

That’s a great bike. Is it a Panasonic motor? I’ve got a standard Pro Connect which I bought new in 2008. It’s still in regular use. Magura brakes are rubbish though. I’d really like a Pro Connect Disc frame to transfer all the gubbings onto. I bet there’s many sat abandoned in sheds around the...

I think the following is typical of our inability to use common sense. Wembley was supposed to run at 80% Capacity, the same at Wimbledon. Presumably, this was intended to create space between people. At Wembley, they stopped access to a 20% of the seats, in a block. Therefore, the 80%...

It’s a valid point regarding some people being unable to accept the vaccine for medical reasons, but they make up a small fraction of the 5 million flecc referred to earlier. Just read the Daily Mail ‘s public comments section and the problem will be laid bare. As flecc alluded to earlier, in...

Old Power Trousers needs to be careful. Being from an Asian background and all that, a dose of Covid might very well do for him. That would be tragic because Gavin Williamson could take over.
