Bizarre that they say: The vouchers should not be redeemed for any age-restricted items, such as alcohol, cigarettes or lottery tickets. Which appears to open them for use against anything that isn't age-restricted however unrelated to food and drink. I'd have expected the guidance to say...

Without knowing the basis of the failure, it is difficult to assess with any degree of confidence. Could range from a minor issue resulting from over-zealous application of standards. Through to a load of garbage even the totters wouldn't take. And could the original order have been messed up...

Glad I don't have one... Virgin Money suspends thousands of credit cards with no warning Regulator likely to look into move as coronavirus lockdown hits personal finances

I over-egged it, but the idea was right. Apr 26, 2020...

Curious. I use them because I have tinnitus. :) (I only have cheap ones - not gone for wireless.) My tinnitus is not related to earwax.

Honestly, these foreigners. As if we need them to tell us... ‘Complacent’ UK draws global criticism for Covid-19 response Opinion writers from Italy to Australia attack ‘stupidity’ and label Boris Johnson incompetent Oh - maybe we do? Well, not us, like we here. Of course.

... advised wearing masks. Still as relevant as ever. Still pretty much as un-recommended.

Up to a point. The inhalation of hot vapours (whatever they are) is questionable. Some vapers seem to have suffered directly from that. The middle eastern hookahs address that...

Deaf people are allowed to drive, I concur (at least in the UK). But driving with headphones is one of those things that could be illegal if it is deemed that they would, or were likely to, affect your driving.

There is, I suppose, a distinction between advice being given, and advice being received and understood. Can you claim "I didn't get advised that ...." because it didn't penetrate your fontanelle? (Well aware that this has been mentioned many times - this time we can see even more clearly how...
