I think it's very likely, given that the wipe was part of a houskeeping operation wiping irrelevancies. .

Sorry OG, but this is another false story. At the time the EU introduced the Working Time Directive 35 hour maximum standard week that many countries adopted, the UK objected and negotiated a 48 hour week opt out. Information Link .

This is a non story, in my book they should have been wiped and should never have been held in the first instance. Arrests are on suspicion of committing an offence and it now transpires that these wiped records were of arrests that were not followed by any action, in other words no acceptable...

Covid will come to the rescue. The number of deaths by then will have substantially reduced the demand for electricity in the home. And the now reducing number of infected will also reduce the hospital demand for current with less ventilators running pumping oxygen into lungs. .

It's a Brexit bonus. Free is an EU concept as in Freedom of movement, Free trade, freedom to appeal to a European Court. Now we've left the EU all that is lost, so you as a subject of the Crown and no longer an EU citizen will have to accept greater restrictions. Think yourself fortunate...

I fully agree, but the risk of him being president again is too great to accept. He's always been unbalanced but has got far worse recently and is now unacceptably dangerous as his incitement to attack the Capitol shows. I prefer to accept some temporary and harshly punished disruption from...

Trouble with doing that is that he will be back at the next four year election and his plentiful nut case followers possibly voting him back into power. American stupidity has no bounds as his first election showed. If impeached its more likely he can be banned from standing again. .

Indeed, can't stop Brazil's TAM airline flying their very long range Boeing 767-316-ER airliners into Heathrow. I always feel sorry for the passengers as they pass by me high up on arrival. Two or three hours in one is more than enough for me, I can't imagine 10 hours plus cooped up in one.

That was the French Velosolex, slightly faster than our e-bikes, limited to 30kph, almost 19mph. A staggering 8 million of these were made. Most of these front opening bubble cars here were the BMW Isetta, actually an Italian design which was manufactured under licence by many companies in...

No. Newtonian physics gave us the industrial revolution which has caused the global warming and climate change threatening all our futures more certainly than Covid-19. Halting in 1938 was far too late to avoid the harms of modern science. We should have stopped advancement beyond the...

Very true, but be careful. You're in danger of justifying why Jeremy Corbyn often sat on the fence! .

In Aldi and Lidl maybe. In Waitrose or M & S the virus wouldn't dare. I don't wear glasses. :) .

This practice had long been questioned since there's a lack of evidence of it having any value, it can even be harmful: Information Link Current NICE guidelines no longer require masks to be worn during surgery. .

At four and a half thousand posts, British World Beating thread policy. And all entirely consistent with the Tory government aim of maximum activity, all by volunteers, achieving the minimum results at the least possible cost. As David Cameron would proudly say, it's the Big Society. .

As you might expect of anyone half Italian, my diet is excellent and includes fresh spinach and garlic. But there's no dietary answer for damaged heart issue and attacks which add more damage with every one. It's a one way route. It's possible that a replacement heart valve would extend my...

Unlikely, he's gay, his partner back then a bus driver. I'm 84 with serious heart disease. That's meant 14 attacks during 2020 where I should have called an ambulance since each had a very high risk of death or stroke, plus many lesser attacks, but didn't want to go to hospital because of the...

Direct from Sainsburys ok because it's not a personal import, but then carrying it on personally is banned, unless already in one's stomach. .

They're popular now, but I'm both an environmentalist and minimalist. When I die in the very near future a van with two men will turn up at hospital or mortuary, pop the body into a cheap plain box, probably cardboard and take it to a crematorium of their choice, ashes dumped afterwards. No...

The local one to me operates partially outdoors with directed movements between temporary buildings. It's the only way they can keep the Health Centre running normally as well while maintaining isolation. I daresay this sort of situation is commonplace. Here's an emailed account of the...

It was never that bad, but some did have horrible colours. One was best described as Chocolate, another Maroon, and one which was described by the manufacturer as Old Gold was more accurately described by a teenager as Beige. We aren't the only people with car colour dictated though. Funeral...
