Of course I'm very well aware of that, and more. But how many times must I make it clear in here that I have no need of those? The camera facility, though good for many uses, for a variety of reasons isn't suitable for the photography I do. I have absolutely no desire to watch TV or use the...

They are getting in a mess, just been there this afternoon and noticed a few substitutes. They'd even run out of their reusable fruit and veg bags, substituting with cheap plain paper bags. .

Perhaps see my reply to Richtea99 on this post which explains much. I'm well aware of VOIP but don't use social media, it gets bad enough in here without that supplementation. Skype demands all parties use it and my contacts, now down to one only, don't. I agree my home WiFi problem is...

Thanks for your detailed reply, I've responded to those below. Agreed, but knowing the cause doesn't make it any less an impediment. Trouble is I don't want to pay Apple prices for something I'll hardly ever use. Being retired and rarely travelling now I really genuinely have virtually no...

He's right of course. As I posted in late 2019. we've got a Corbyn government, faithfully following Corbyn's policies from nationalising Northern Rail through to large scale borrowing by former chancellor Sajid Javid to rebuild the economy, even before Covid and that borrowing. Even the...

Are you sure it's not the French to blame? After all, a chunk of that region was long known as French Indo-China. ;) .

You're just the latest of a number who have replied on this while not knowing the circumstances. I challenge that 95% have coverage, 95% of cells might have in parts but many within some of those cells individually don't have coverage, as in my case due to the contours of the steep sided valley...

My neighbour's garage had one of these and it was easily beaten. The thieves merely crowbarred the garage door a couple of inches inwards at the base to beyond the lock's base plate, then crowbarred the base plate up to wrench it's fixing bolt and insert out of the concrete. They left the lock...

I've answered that in this reply to you It's a new virus every year, COVID-19 is not. .

Mind boggling, but I have to say I'm not surprised since it was always apparent the Brexiters had no idea what leaving the EU entailed. I tried to warn in my post before the referendum that started the Brexit Thread...

Different case. Each season wholly new 'flu viruses are circulating, as well as some mutations of former ones. Covid-19 is yet another SARS2 virus, not a totally new virus, and the vaccines have some degrees of effectiveness against all those. .

St. Johns Ambulance are training up 30,000 volunteers to carry out Covid-19 vaccinations, this scheme approved by the NHS. .

Would be a wise move by Trump. Following the USA's attempt to extradite Gary MacKinnon failing on grounds of Gary's mental condition, Trump wouldn't have the slightest difficulty in getting us to accept that he's too mentally ill for extradition and trial. .

Hence the advantage of belonging to a supranational organisation like the EU, only one logistics centre need for many countries. For example in our sphere, Giant Bicycle, Shimano and Panasonic at least have logistics centres in The Netherlands. .

Wrong way round. The plug goes on the appliance, the socket on the wall or floor, not the appliance. ;) .

We still don't know if catching it gives immunity. That doesn't always happen and even when immunity is gained, it's often only short term. And we don't know how long the immunity is even with the vaccines. It's very early days and there is still much to find out. .

You were lucky. There's no such thing as only one case in London! In the latter half of 2010 the overload of cases was so great that all the crown courts sat in two shifts per day. With a very early start each day until midday, one case was being tried to conclusion. Then from midday each...

I was called for jury service on one occasion but I appealed on the basis that I was essential in my job. My evidence was accepted and I was excused service. .

I'm answering this separately since it is a separate issue, as I've shown of our own making. The answer isn't a simple single one of course but there is a single fundamental. We need to stop trying to blame anyone but ourselves for our misfortune and accept our responsibilities. First we...
