And so are we in Britain, we take pride in working for well organised and efficient companies, Nissan Sunderland and BMW Oxford for example. Our problem isn't that we don't like being organised, it's not having enough native managements who can organise, so the Japanese and Germans have to show...

That gets us to the point where we run out of electricity due to our failure to build enough power stations, and our super economists will be learning from necessity how the abacus works. :) .

This is an empty argument. What the Germans can work with, we can too, and that is proven by the very large number of British people who live and work in Germany and have done for years. Indeed increasing numbers have been taking up German nationality, surely a clear sign of compatibility with...

But if there's one thing we have been famous for, it's not achieving our potential. This will be no different. .

The long term treaty of staying in the EU, obviously. But if we are feeling masochistic, a Norway deal. .

Seems 51 people either don't care about their ebay rating or love taking a risk, since only the final bidder will default. It's mad world Soundwave. .

Shatter is a kind of cannabis extract, one of many names for such concentrations of the active cannabis plant constituents like THC. No, I've never used any psychoactive drug, but know a few who do and keep myself informed as it's so big a part of today's life. P.S. Crossed with Soundwave's...

I'd say the UK is the less democratic, the structure of our democracy still giving undue influence to historic privileges, crown and titled. And the size and mix of the EU population gives greater future protection that our more restricted one. The former will be much more difficult to abuse...

Just got this of the net: The average price of a pack of 20 cigarettes was £9.91 after the last budget. Increasing that by a further 4.9 per cent adds 49p to a pack - putting the average price of a pack of 20 up to £10.40. It was awareness of my health being affected, combined with becoming...

It's a wonder Apple aren't making them, the i-cig. :) .

My experience too, giving up after almost 40 years of smoking and the latter years at 60+ a day. I think like with most addictions the fear of giving up is far worse than the actual giving up. I found the secret is to actually want to give up, rather than hope to give up while fearing what...

I agree that democracy is a very valuable concept. We should try it sometime. That was the main drift of my suggestion, giving far more power to the UK population that they have ever had. .

Hand signals are invariably mentioned in advisory contexts, like TfL's and the Highway Code, and I've never seen any legislation quoted on the subject. It's a safe bet that there is none, hand signalling too vague to be precisely defined in law. Rather like the whip signals of a horse and cart...

I believe yes, hand signals being a highway code issue and therefore advisory and not mandatory. The same physical limitation exists in velomobiles. One could fit a cyce indicator set of course. However, with a transparent canopy one or two finger methods of indicating one's feelings are...

So where did I say anything about this in the linked post? And nothing I proposed in the linked post would prevent them voting exactly the same way again if they showed a basic understanding of the issue. I made no mention in that post of idiocy or ignorance, and with such a voting method I...
