    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suspect that like me, they can't see any point in continuing to contribute to the thread. The remain supports firmly believe in their decision and the leave supporters believe equally in their decision. No amount of discussion will change anyone's view and all that needs to be said has been...

    I once drove one of those, it suffered with terrible understear on damp / wet roads.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think you meant to say, "non... close the door on your way out, I have rather a delicate telephone call to make. I am going to lay off 25% of the German car industry and I'd like a little privacy whilst I do it."

    Looking for home insurance

    If you don't do so already, purchase via Quidco. If you take out an Aviva policy via the quidco website, you get £50 cash back. Most of the other major insurers offer csdh back via the site as well. Always worth checking. I've had £2K + back over the years that I've been using it. It works by...

    I think that was due to a software glitch in an automated trading system.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm voting for UKIP in the hope that they sell the TV rights to their candidates fighting each other. I'm sure Bernie Ecclestone could make a fast and dodgy tax free buck out of that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's a desperate and rather sad situation when all that is on offer is a bunch of inadequates on both sides, leaving us to chose which we dislike the least. We all deserve better.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Very true, but I can't imagine anyone being so consumed by hatred of the Tories and at the bottom of the deepest pit of despair that the would vote for Diane Abbot or Lady Onionbahji.

    Labour Party - is there hypocrisy abroad?

    There is no anti-Semitism, Lady Chakrabarti says so. (Giz a peerage)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do you really think so? I'm not going to say you are wrong because I don't know how a general election would play out. But I can't see Labour being electable in the medium future. I like Corbyn, but Diane (I educated my son at a public school because I believe in state education for the masses)...

    Computer Networks

    Thanks d8veh. I've got my external IP address. Like yours, the address changes very infrequently. So you are saying that to access my camera (Port 80 forwarded) from outside my local network I enter http://(external router IP address):80 How does it know which device to connect to because I'm...

    Computer Networks

    This is all a bit new to me. I've installed security cameras around my house. They are IP cameras powered by Power over Ethernet. They work fine, I can see them on my local network and the ouput records onto my NAS. I can even view them remotley via a web based quicklink facility. However...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't like May and don't trust her, but that's how our system works, we elect the party and the party elects the leader. If she called a general election today, she would be returned to power, but with a bigger majority. Then she would be accused of opportunism by exploiting Labour's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, imported raw materials will be more expensive, but as I am sure you know, the manufacturing process is all about taking relatively low value "raw material" and adding value to it by turning it into a product. Therefore, say a 10% increase in raw material cost will not translate into a 10%...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Wage rises have the greatest influence over inflation. I can't see runaway wage rises any time soon. I also heard on radio 4 this morning that a 10% devaluation in the pound translates to about 0.4% increase in food prices. With the devalued pound, products made and exported from the UK will...

    Just remember two things and all will be well: 1) None of the doom which was predicted has happened. 2) None of the doom which was predicted will happen.
