In fairness there can well be a lag between a reduction in sales and it's effect on commercial property prices . Even if a company suffers reduced sales they are locked into the lease arrangements for a period of time.. The growth in internet shopping must be having a corrosive effect on in...

Thanks Woosh, I had seen Tilson post and could not make much sense from it, as the sterling euro is hovering 1.14 to 1.15 , and this seemed much ado about little. I had not picked up that it was the dollar which had slipped.

Nooo..... 3 years on i still have access.

I might disagree . This was not a conversation or a debate . There was no meetings of minds at any level. Jordan was a academic with a strong command of his subject matter and prepared to discuss it with all its nuances. Cathy was seeking confrontation and good television. Neither were either...

There is a general policy that once having been in the game particularly as a major player and now on the sidelines one does not queer the pitch on ones successors. Its called manners. I choose not to visit to my place of employment after retirement for 9 months so that there would be no hint...

Yeah but these are the whitelist, if one ignores the Eskimo, the Maori, and the aboriginal.... See where it's heading!!!!.

Not quite. The current which will flow is voltage difference divided by wire resistance. Say the wire was 0.1ohm and the batteries were different by 0.5v the current which will flow will be 5amps. This will flow until the higher voltage battery has discharged to the level of the lower one...

I normally cut through the insulation with a craft knife very gentle pressure and rotate the wire then slip it off using the nail... i used to use my teeth until i got sense. There is sufficient difference between copper and plastic.

There is a little bit of revisionism going on here. As I would see it there were are a collection of different countries with different names, different ethnic groups , different languages, somewhere different histories. Some were part of the older Russian empire of the czars, and others were...

Has the law changed. My understanding that dealing in stolen goods is an offense and one is called a fence? While CC may not have known for certain that the goods were stolen the fact that they bought them at 30% of retail price would be a clue .there is an offense related to being reckless in...

That body is what in my benighted republic we call a council of state. ..it has no legal standing but its advice will be sought by the president when there is legislation to be signed off on which the president fears may be foul of the written consitution.

I might not haveexpressed it in so bleak terms i do think the uk as a whole has an image and perception problem

I am sorry but that would not quite explain the korean war and the plenty of other proxy wars linked to the standoffs between the great powers. It would not take much to reignite the indian subcontinent . There is apparently a school of thought ( in a manner of speaking) current in...

Im sorry i am not totally au fait with quaint english customs or titles

They have free speech but they are conventions and so called unparliamentary language is one of them. It is very simple to get across the notion that you do not believe a word by using terms such as .." that statement is not in conformance with known facts " or as flecc as suggested.. Do you...

We are arguing at cross purposes. A candidate is just that a member of the public. An elected candidate is in a slightly privileged position. They can accept or refuse to take their seat and oath. Once they have taken their seat and oath they are then a highly privileged individual and from...

OG I know where you are coming from, but it is an illogical stance. Until the candidate has been elected, they are just a ordinary member of society, a Joe soap. Once they have been elected and accepted office, things are changed. They have access to information not available to the general...

Initially freedom.. as a youngster, the ability to travel the 5 miles to and from the sea was freedom. As a student, freedom and cost and reliability. I could be reasonably sure of getting to my lectures across a city, at zero cost, without worrying about bus strikes, and the calories spent...

I think your sentence about the German experience is quite telling. Separation of pedestrian and bike traffic makes a huge difference.... Weather and wind matters, and the British isles, particularly Ireland is always windy. Mainland Europe less so.

Parliamentary privalage. That is the right of a member of parliament to say something in the house without fear of civil action , or libel is a bedrock of democracy. It would be crazy to seek to remove it. Case in point, a prominent Irish billionaire in the global telecoms business, who has a...
