    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Actually I do take my refuse bag out very late evening when no-one is about. That's because as the one retired resident I keep our bin room in good order and have long provided a bag lined separate kitchen-type small bin for small or loose items to help keep the wheelie bins clean and hygenic...

    In fact the "ed"can be left out of that. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Strange that there was never a word about Labour's so called anti-semitism until the party rightly refused to accept the whole UN definition of anti-semitism which included criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. They accepted the rest. When that happened all the false accusations began, and...

    Deranged, unbalanced people often know no fear, the same is frequently true of drunks and the unlawfully drugged. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No it's not as simple as that. With 86% of our population living in cities and towns in variously confined circumstances, many are unable to protect themselves sufficiently to be sure of avoiding the virus. For example if you are in flat at the end of a corridor with the doors to two other...

    Oh dear- who's been throwing batteries in the bin?!

    I think its more the case that we quote what we mere humans on planet earth can do, therefore "matter can neither be created or destroyed". Enabling me to have the comforting thought that I have always existed and always will, you'll never get rid of me! :) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's you in your little world of Portsmouth and Southampton. I've done no cut and pasting on this and if you'd kept your eyes open you'd know that is very far from my style. If you'd been reading you know that I have, many times. So once again, in March and April we commenced the...

    That worry was even raised for pre-washed and packaged salads on a TV program recently, questioning the hygene standards at production facilities. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, on my previous posts taking this line I've posted "if or until" but neglected to do so this time. Given how we have to create a new flu vaccine every year and Covid's similarity to flu, I think it very likely we'll be unsuccessfulagain. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm quite sure it will at all levels of infection. All of our experience with, and history of infections tells us immunity eventually results in almost all cases. But it looks like it will take a long time with this one, so I think infection is likely to be universal first, unless we get a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That isn't what I meant by defensive measures, those are medical measures to deal with the infection once caught. I've no probem with those. Defensive measures are the civil measures taken to prevent spread. But what is the point of defensive measures if we are all going to get it in the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No we were not, I do know what I posted and it had nothing to do with the circumstances above. While those are undoubtedly true, they do not account for what has been happening worldwide in all areas, many with very different circumstances. What is happening everywhere does precisely...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm very fully aware of all that but you seem to have completely got hold of the wrong end of the stick. My post was not in any way about the differences between two areas. It was about the difference in any one area I mentioned at two different points in time and the reason for the change in...

    Help! Wrong size battery? What should I do?

    Thanks, that wasn't clear from the thread that it could still be removed for charging. .

    Help! Wrong size battery? What should I do?

    1) To charge it indoors, particularly important in very cold weather when the battery can get very cold. 2) To be able to use two batteries for very long runs or a quick turn round. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But that doesn't match the facts. I'll keep the emotive local case out of it and use another country as an example. Italy as you will know was the first country in Europe to be very hard by it and were the first to have a national lockdown. The infection rate and deaths scared the Italians...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I haven't quoted any numbers, I'm speaking of the respective rates of increases in infections. And I haven't mentioned the UK, only my area of South London. I got my facts from BBC radio and I'm sure Angela Merkel knows whats happening in Germany currently. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    More evidence that the establishment and science still haven't a clue about Covid-19. Germany, a disciplined nation and highly praised in the early stages of the pandemic for its handling of it is now so deeply in trouble with it running out of control they may have to go into the unthinkable...
