I wonder how much the average UK citizen pays over a lifetime servicing debt? The only time I've ever borrowed money was to buy my first house and I paid that off early. I've never had a loan or allowed a credit card payment to incur interests, preferring to go without until I could save up to...

I suppose they are leading by example.

I believe that the government do too. What better way to control the work force than to have them enslaved to a pile of debt. The threat of losing the roof over your head if you stop working and default on the payments is a powerful tool. So basically this great economy that BREXIT is putting...

I think he's referring to the battery inside the light, an 18650 cell. It's a removable and rechargeable lithium ion cell as used in laptop battery packs.

There is very little difference, but it doesn't make either anymore acceptable.

You see, this type of thing doesn't help the EU's cause. This is just going to stir further anti-EU sentiment, not just in the UK but in other countries too. This arrogance born out of being unaccountable to an electorate is what rankles I bet the witch is thinking, you can shove your £20...

I'm not sure where they are used, but I'm guessing that there will be areas set aside. Having said that, modern jet-packs aren't piloted by lantern jawed men with chromium helmets like we remember. These days the pilot is usually the head of a disadvantaged family who use a food bank. Following...

The jet-pack is reality. Not in the sense as we remember them in the 1960s though. The type to which I refer use a high pressure water jet to levitate the user. The user is connected via a large bore hose to an engine driven pump which floats on a pontoon on the water. The user can manoeuvre by...

I have just been to the shops to buy something for lunch and whilst I was there, I met an old acquaintance who is a retired police officer. He gave me an account of a colleague of his who retired from the police two years ago, after serving for 30 years. This recently retired man commuted the...

I agree with some of what you say here.

I am aware of the jury rules and what you say in that regard is correct. The rules are known in advance and sentence or acquittal is measured against a set of pre-determined and clearly stated parameters. everyone goes into the process knowing what the deal is. The parameters for the referendum...

You know, I never heard about any of this until after the referendum. Funny isn't it? So let me see if I've got this right. If a jury finds the defendant guilty by a majority, it's not really a guilty verdict, it's just a sort of gauging of the mood of the jury type thing? So the murdering...

No, what I am saying is that if there is a majority wanting to leave, which there is in this country, then we should leave. If the same applies in other countries, that is a majority of people wanting to leave, then they should also leave.I am saying that this appears to be the case in both...

There is also a strong appetite for leaving in Italy. I have family there who own and run technology businesses. They think we are doing the right thing in leaving and they say the majority of locals they talk to want out as well. The EU needs to reform and after that it could be a very good...

The pound is recovering a little after the Canadian Clown tried his hardest to devalue it yesterday. Looks like he's heading for another custard pie in his face. Who appointed this buffoon, we have a ready supply of home-grown ones without importing more.

I was just thinking that this BREXIT situation has taken on more importance than electric fags. I can see this going to 200 pages and beyond.

This morning's BBC news reports that we are to get a Sir Shami Chakrabarti as a thank you for saying that all is well within the Labour Party. Great.

I can't see what harm the continuation of this thread is doing. If it's annoying, can you filter it out of the recent posts search facility? I never use that, so don't know.

I see Lowell Goddard (the latest chairwoman, man or thing) on the Butler-Sloss, then Woolf, then Goddard, now who-knows inquiry has stepped down. Justice Lowell Goddard was receiving a salary of £360,000, an annual rental allowance of £110,000 and £12,000 a year to cover utilities. Not bad for...

An now for some good news! The Met Police seem to have put an end to terrorism. They have re-classified it as a mental health issue. I feel much safer now.
