Oh dear Danidl, can't you see the inherent misuse? Again, lack of hospitalisation does not mean uninfected, the vast majority of the infected have not been hospitalised. How many times do I have to say that is not what I'm discussing? I am and only have been discussing whether the Covid...

I'm afraid the abuse of honours offence is a bird that flew out of the window decades ago. In fact I believe the act itself is a foolish one, since giving honours is of itself an abuse, and has been ever since it first occurred to Kings to give titles to those who served them best. The...

I suppose they reckon multiple necrophilia will make sleaze look like a very small issue. .

Same old stuff. I've never argued about the consequences of catching Covid so that part of your reply is once again an irrelevance. Also irrelevant are the mentions of the vaccines better outcomes since I've never challenged that either. You only repeat these irrelevancies in each reply...

This sort of crap has been around for ages, very long ago the scare story was EMP. I don't have and won't have any of the Alexa sort of nonsense. Just because I'm living in a world full of neurotic, easily influenced people doesn't mean I have to be like them. .

But Londoners with their highest population density in the country and lowest vaccination rates aren't? Come on Danidl, start looking at the facts instead of the theory and wishful thinking. 40 times is utter rubbish, prior infection gives at least equal protection, possibly, even probably...

Yes, as I posted, well worth having as a sensible precaution. I just wish I could get the booster and the 'flu vaccine without the big increase in accompanying risks on offer at present. In some ways akin to a hospital admission. However I think your disaster scenario is a bit fanciful with...

That's our experience here in England too. Nationally with very high vaccination rates, 90% first, 80% second plus 16% boosters, yet over 400 per 100k infected. London boroughs with vaccination rates often barely over 50%, yet with infection rates a third to a half that nationally. Death...

It was British Rail in 1954 and they only offered me the route I said to get to Glasgow. I'd moved from Bournemouth at the start of the 1960s so have no idea what followed then. .

What hasn't moved on and will not, is that anything motorised above 25 kph (15.5mph) has to be registered as a motor vehicle. I've explained this repeatedly, including in this thread. You can have what you want right now, but you'll have to register it, fit a number plate, have insurance and...

That's now, as I said, wouldn't have been an option for me in the 1950s. I can't say currently, but given the old express services from Bournemouth, that was the best option at the time. Of course electrification has changed a lot, but with my own eyes as recently as 2010 I've seen an example...

. As the saying goes, beauty is only skin deep. .

That's the key, it wouldn't have been an option for me from Bournemouth, which was in Hampshire back then. I imagine that is a slow service anyway, via all those places, whereas Bournemouth - Waterloo and on to Scotland via either route are the fastest express services. In later years from...

No, you've completely missed the third very large factor, all the huge numbers who commute in by train and then continue on the underground to their destination or across London to their outgoing main line station. They aren't Londoners, they are from the Home counties or far beyond. And...

It's the pawls of the chainwheel's freewheel that have failed, a common fault with the Impulse units. Try Performance Line, recommended above by Soundwave, to see if they can help. .

This is Britain. I doubt any polling organisation has a large enough enough staff to find 1000 people who know who Kathryn Stone is. The poll could end up 5% approve, 5% disapprove, 90% "Who?". .

That is exactly where I'm at. I haven't been offered a booster, obviously missed again just as I wasn't offered the vaccines so had to chase for them both in turn. But I'm not going to chase for a booster. That's not to say it hasn't value, it's mainly because to get one each time places me...

I've never done any of this or denied the value of avoiding the ill effects of Covid, indeed including the value and importance of having the vaccines in most of my posts on this subject from the outset. That included posting when I had each jab, which is hardly proposing infection immunity as...

:D. The vast majority of London's 10 millions don't use the underground. I'm a Londoner born and bred, but I last had a trip on the underground in 2010 and the previous occasion was a trip in 1954. .
