This is the biggest risk factor associated with the Brexit process. I don’t have an issue with Corbyn, but he comes packaged with hideous & dangerous people.

I bet they will, but cast their vote they did, so they have no grounds for complaining.

CPF? Central Provident Fund? A scheme intended to provide security in retirement years? What's wrong with that? Maybe that is what we need.

I can't see what the problem is, the rat was frozen and the veg will be cooked, killing off any germs / bacteria. Don't spread the word too widely or else everyone will be wanting rat in their veg too.

Oh dear, these weapon wielding, fake refugee, men children look as though they need a liberal application of CS Gas, Water Cannon and a peppering of Baton Round. It’s no more than anyone would expect from the French than to weasel out of their Schengen Zone obligations. No surprises here, it...

I can see your point and if a person wants an electric car, fulfilment of that desire does have a value. I agree that the decision to buy an electric car will eventually be forced upon us. But I think that Renault are kicking the arse out of the electric car business with those battery rental...

Our 2.0 litre Golf Bluemotion covers about 10000 miles per year. Without looking I reckon I put about £80 to £90 worth of diesel in it per month, road tax £20 a year. If the battery rental is £45/month per 4500 miles per year plus the electricity charge (quite small I know, but a factor), the...

The launch of the new Nissan Leaf has caused me to look again at electric cars. Cost, range and battery life being the main factors which have put me off buying one. Initial cost is moving toward a point where I am interested. Range is better & probably ok for > 80% of my journeys. Battery...

It would be easier just to swap the drive. If it’s anything like my old ThinkPad, you simply open the drive bay on the bottom, one screw, pull the old hdd out and push a ssd in. Put the cover back on and the jobs a good un. You must reinstall the os of course. If you use the ssd externally...

Yes, forgot to mention that. On my Mac, I keep my SSD “clean” with only the OS and applications on it. It’s at about 20% capacity. Video and photos are on a HDD. I replaced the DVD drive with an SSD and put the OS onto it. I then wiped the original HDD and use that for video & photos. I use...

Having given up with MS Windows about 10 years ago, I mainly use a Mac, but have recently dug out an old laptop to run Windows 10. It’s a low spec machine to which I have installed a solid state hard drive (SSD). I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. W10 seems stable and fast, much better...

I’m not sure what you have been doing, but some activities associated with excessive internet data usage can lead to blindness. I’ve also heard that God kills a kitten each time it happens. Be warned! Could you get an unlimited data package? I suspect that it’s a W10 update which has consumed...

It’s all ok, no one knows what they are talking about. I’m waiting for somebody to suggest fitting a dynamo, connected to the battery, onto one of the car’s wheels. There would be no need to charge it at all then.

It should and there is a mechanism for doing so under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

......and in other news, Carillion continued to pay director and shareholder bonuses whilst knowingly neglecting to adequately fund the pension scheme. So the shortfall, which has gone into the pockets of a few wealthy individuals who don't really need the money, is made up by the average PAYE...

It's just a bit of traditional German fun. They have a history of exposing people to toxic gas, so what's new? I agree regarding the monkeys, they have no choice in the matter.

Ruth Davidson? Might need to get herself elected to the UK parliament first though.

Make sure you have a fully paid up funeral plan.

The closest town to where I live has seen most of the big name high street shops close and move onto retail parks on the outskirts. Some of those are struggling to compete with on-line traders and have also closed. The size of the retail area in the town centre has shrunk dramatically over the...

I didn't say that it has had no impact. I am surprised the demand for retail property has only fallen by 22%. As shopping habits continue to change, retail outlets will suffer more and that decline will probably accelerate. Unless you have a unique product which demands and suits a high street...
