Was that a U-turn? Or a handbrake turn?

I strongly suspect the advertising budget of DFS (SCS, Sofology, Furniture Village, Oak Furnitureland, Ikea, Lovesofas, etc.) also massively outspends any positive advertising. No wonder so many couch potatoes... Rather than increasing health advertising spend, how about a big tax on...

Let us all attack obesity. Here's how:

Bizarre that we see this: (The grammar is crap. It is us who will still be counting the dying, those individual people won't still be dying.)

A masterstroke of TV scheduling:

Lots of very poor assumptions behind a multi-wave model. Not least, that even in previous epidemics/pandemics the waves are real and inherent to the disease rather than artifices caused by many factors. Months ago it was very clearly highlighted that multiple occupancy dwellings was a very...

I still expect your prediction to prove optimistic.

Can they not do a single thing right? Do you remember retailers (I hit this on Wickes first) having virtual queues? Not exactly unpredictable demand and queuing technology has certainly matured in recent months.

If they (whichever lot) were that capable of implementing big scale voter fraud, we have to ask: a) How come DT got in? b) How come HC didn't get in? Despite get the most votes. Also, remember that DT himself has used postal voting. From what I have read, the fraud is currently being...

It will be very interesting to find out the effectiveness. I guess we'll just have to wait until, statistically, lots of those vaccinated must have been exposed to the virus. (Though there has been discussion about intentional exposure but an awful lot of ethical concerns. And possible legal...

The biggest problem, as I see it, is that bikes with problems just get dumped. Selling the idea of e-bikes as a green measure, then seeing untold numbers dumped, scrapped, well before their potential lives undermines all that justification.

Can certainly hope that the market becomes more accessible to more people - however that happens. So long as it doesn't sell bikes but leave buyers without adequate support. Big boys have a tendency to be very effective at supplying the products, often at good prices, and very poor at providing...

Look forward to 50% price hikes - followed by 33% off. (Assuming that hasn't already happened.)

I think I'd want to wash my hands before using the loo. Reminds of friend who cooked a hot curry for friends. He disappeared. They eventually found him in the bathroom with his member in a bowl of water...

If an online sales tax were a good idea, they should have implemented it years ago. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jul/27/rishi-sunak-online-sales-tax-protect-high-streets-coronavirus What a good idea. Delivery taxes which will encourage more people to hop into their cars and...
