    Gupta's position is mine too. London's experience of Covid-19 supporting it. A little less hysteria has long been called for. .

    In the UK's case, say self flagellation instead. ;) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is my understanding of the policy: During Lockdown we were all forbidden to meet within two metres those living outside our shared residences and we were banned from making non essential journeys, so our chance of being infected was very low. Therefore our chance of infecting a transport...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think double standards and preconceptions are at play here, depending who one is. Black, Hispanic, American, especially if poorly dressed likely to get a different approach than that for someone without those too familiar elements. Very long ago when my job took me around Central London...

    Thinking now is it all worth while ?

    There's a distinct difference in stature between northern and southern Italians, due to their historic racial mixes. That's led to the cruel northern joke: "Why are southern Italians so small? It's because their mothers told them that when they grew up they'd have to go out to work". Also...

    Probably in your case. However, due to lifelong experience of ever present underlying racism, black people there and here tend to be volatile when accused of anything, especially when they are innocent, as George could have been this time. The thing indicative of that possibility this time...

    No you could be right in this case. Panasonic did also make 350 watt units, but I'm unaware of Kalkhoff ever making an Agattu with them. However they also market in the USA and Germany of course, both where 350 watts is commonplace, so could have done briefly. .

    The problem is that any of us can be guilty of passing a forged bank note, they've always been in circulation, so George Floyd could conceivably have been innocent on this occasion. Fortunately our new plastic notes have greatly reduced the risk of encountering forged bank notes now. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolutely right we've always created a scale of crimes and punishments. Transport to Australia was far from the worst, we used to hang eight year olds for stealing any minor item, even an item of food to stay alive and many children were transported. .

    The 350 watt crank drive Panasonic unit cannot be changed to 250 watts rating. Its internal circuit board is encapsulated and sealed into the crankcase half. No spares are available, it's repair by replacement. .

    Whatever it was, it didn't warrant a death sentence without trial. That's the most important point. .

    Because it will make us the winners. We lost WW2 at Dunkirk, but are still able to say we won the war. Almost all of our industry and commerce failed in the years following the war. But we still have full employment for ourselves and lots of them too with one of the highest employment rates...

    The trouble is volumes of both production and market. Modern sweet manufacturing is mass production on a huge scale, so it's best aggregated in such as China, or if within the EU, where the mass market and low manufacturing costs coincide. .

    CV2 Death Rates: Sweden = 450 per million population. UK = 602.7 per million population, 33% higher. Sweden's new case increase was due to some held back figures, a one off jump. .

    Doesn't always work though. Boeing's 737 has been quite good from the outset, apart from the one that wanted to be a convertible and blew its roof off in flight, giving one passenger an ejector seat experience. It's the Max 8 version that's the real bother though, treating everyone to a short...

    Two problems with that though. First is that they are for domestic consumption, few exports. Second that their manufacture, especially of sweets, is constantly being shifted out into other EU countries where the mass market is. .

    I'll just stick to traditional forecasting, like hanging seaweed or a pine cone outside from the windowsill. .
