No, you'll lose weight if you only eat toilet paper. Just try to avoid buying processed foods, outside of basics like bread, baked beans, tinned tomatoes etc. .

?? That was back on 30th January. .

We certainly seem to easily be at level 3 or below in London, the daily deaths very low now. On the last full day (Wednesday) for example, we had 2 deaths in hospitals of people tested as positive and 1 death not tested but Covid mentioned on the death certificate. So 3 out of 10.2 million...

They were originally a Dutch company, Silent Force BV, their e-bikes sold here earlier in this decade. All their models were typical Chinese generic, though often better equipped and they had plans to produce in Malaysia. The batteries also appear generic so probably easily replaced. If you...

You left the best one of the tape originals out: VHS, Betamax, V2000. .

Careful, you'll be making chlorination popular. .

That would make far more sense since so many do not use smartphones. OFCOM make a stupid guesstimate that only 3% don't own a smartphone, appearing to rely on an old figure of 78.5 million registered phones in 2014, some 15 million more than there were men, women and children of any age in the...

UK customs cannot discriminate on the grounds of user legality of any civilian vehicle. That would be contrary to our law which permits the sale and purchase of any such vehicle by any person. It is only usage on our public roads and publically accessible lands that is subject to various laws. .

Or guilt due to the world overpopulation driving them to action. .

There speaketh the pessimist. ;) .

Perhaps not though, epidemics are strange things. They turn up, wreak their damage and often just as mysteriously disappear. I think not enough attention is paid to vulnerability and immunity and their subsequent effects. Those who die first time round aren't available to die again. Those...

Probably largely a waste of time tracing anyway. Earlier it was announced that tracers were failing to find at least 1 in 4 of the contacts, so a gaping 25% hole. With at least 25% of the super spreaders untraced, probably many more, tracing will be very ineffective. .

The attempted theft by force was in the Stockport area, but it failed fortunately. The three of them cycled away as fast as they could and apparently took refuge by an Ice Cream van from what I'd heard, presumably with other people around, but I'd been interrupted so missed part of the report...

Right, the police had better get Gareth Malone locked up then, before he does any more mischief. He's back on on page 24 of next week's Radio Times wittering on about his choirs again. .

I've just been listening on Radio 4 to a representative of a major insurer reporting a massive 46% increase in bicycle thefts in April and May, plus a report from a cyclist with a £4000 mountain bike who with two friends were threatened by two gangs in cars attempting to steal their expensive...

I have read it right though and much of it is very suspect. All too often it seems ambitions are being translated into achievements by inference. There's a lot of emphasis on cycle training, ride to school/work initiatives etc, also projected as achievement when in my experience they are...

Although I'm prepared to challenge individual bigotry, I fear that challenges against organisations like the Mail and Express which exist to promote bigotry merely serve to strengthen them. The more who ignore them, the weaker they become. It's how we dealt with racism in London. As little as...

If Boris thinks he can successfully resort to his old clowning persona and all will be well, he's sadly mistaken. Those days are over. .

I'm not. Any support for slavery would have been when the Guardian, a local Manchester paper was owned by its 1821 founder, John Edward Taylor. He has no statue so nothing to pull down and chuck into the ship canal. The editor from 1872, long after slavery, was C P Scott (born 1846), who...

Indeed, and this is a variation on what Woosh was saying. In crude terms it's Us or Them, since the main beneficiaries of a thriving economy are "Them", the property owning and investors. .
