Silly question. The Cosy has a sloping top. What happens when it rains? Or heavy snow?

Of course the UK has no rules that exclude non-UK people.

I don't know. Would need the figures from before those changes to compare.

Except the UK takes some of the lowest numbers of refugees.

The censorship on YouTube is bad enough.

The bigoted attitudes have simply widened to racist ones.

Merriam Webster is American so it doesn't speak for all Anglophones.

As a Chartered Engineer I was eligible to get FEANI membership. I assume that stopped applying post Brexit (though it's academic as I gave up my IET membership on retiring).

Police in the UK already have unmarked (black, or white) cars, with blue lights secreted behind the grill. I assume they're used by certain officers or for certain purposes. The vast majority as are in the photo.

But we now have 40% of container ships coming back fro China empty. Hardly very climate friendly.

Exactly. You can't blame them when they see so many talentless nobodies make fortunes on Instagram or TikTok, flashing their designer clothes and flash cars, or even people who create businesses whose value goes stratospheric without any underlying worth.

I've bought from Aliexpress with Vat paid but no duty. I understand if it's below Β£135 no duty applies. I've not tried ordering more than that at a time.

It's that cross London bit with luggage that puts me off.

Eurostar/Eurotunnel would be a lot more attractive if I didn't have to travel from Cheltenham! I did train from Cheltenham to Aberdeen once and that was bad.

A request from whom? Who can make such a request?

Wish they'd get rid of UKCA completely. Would be an easy start.

Oui. Je le pense depuis longtemps. Incroyable.

Here in the UK I've seen the description 'like a badly packed kebab'.
