I suspect the 18 year old who would apply for the position are the types of children who were really into trains and, as a result, know a fair bit about them and procedure. When it comes to driving cars, age seems to bear no relevance on how terrible the majority of drivers are.

Too much talk about mental health is driving kids mad. Obviously there should be mentions of help being there when it is needed, teachers could do it verbally at the start of each year/term, and there could be posters or whatever around the school as a reminder..

Needless to say, I took loose inspiration from Dionne Warwick and walked on by.

So, as I suspected... smart phones are not the be all and end all of modern comms? If we do get pay phones back then I hope they accept cash. I got a flat tyre a few years back and the only pay phone that was working on the 6 mile walk home looked dodgy as hell and only accepted credit/debit cards

Is it too soon for honey trap jokes?

The damage was done a while ago. Perhaps Charles thinks he's said and done enough? Are there legal reasons for any further silence?
Andrew does seem to have been found guilty by the family.
It appears that photos of the pompous one gallivanting about on horseback may be an issue for Charles.

A pal of mine reckoned it caused quite the buzz on their wing.

I'm on the fence here. On the one hand sometimes you just have to suck it up, on the other, I avoid many many situations because I know I can't handle them. It's not just anxiety and suspected ADHD for me though it is the issues with feet cramps and back pain when standing for prolonged periods.

On the one hand I hear you, on the other... Are people blind to the types that Fauxrage welcomes into Reform 2025 Ltd?

That would be up to them.

The diet and culture in Japan is somewhat different to the UK, as is their healthcare. I expect there is a lot we could learn from them. Their healthcare is not perfect though and there are areas where they could learn from us, GP's for example.

I'm old enough to remember the Tabloids which I would expect made up somewhere in the region of between 70-80% of newspapers sold in the UK (Late 1970's to 1980's maybe even the 1990's)Referring to the then Prince Andrew as 'Randy Andy'. One has to wonder how much was known about him and others.

Can she have her cake and eat it? Well, she is a part of the royal family now, and despite Betty's wishes, is considered queen as opposed to consort. So... I suppose yes. If she had any integrity however...

If keeping a baseball bat by the door for emergencies involving thieving bastards, or chasing someone who is in the process of of fleeing from your property is beyond reasonable force, then I fail to see how keeping an animal trained for that purpose isn't.

Maybe if there were steps taken to better enable people to afford rents or even purchase, then younger people would fly the nest sooner?

Them and everyone else involved. Will we get to see them all brought to justice though or will there just be a handful thrown to the wolves? I suspect the latter.

I prefer paying in cash. Every so often you get a rare coin in the change, though that doesn't happen as much as it used to. I tend to carry a decent selection of change when going to my small local shops, and they usually appear grateful for the change.

Did they ever go away? Surely everyone has an assortment at hand for the differing types of calligraphic stylings depending on mood?

2/2 Australia experimented with cod Liver Oil/Omega 3 supplements, which whilst not being a solve all solution, did go some way to helping with violence and antisocial inmates. I bet it was considerably less cost restrictive too.

1/2 Pro's and cons. They may be good at preventing the most violent from escaping, but generally speaking they are of the detriment to the general wellbeing and rehabilitation of most inmates. I fear we are heading down the US industrial prison route and not thinking about what is best for society

It probably works out cheaper for the tax payer to simply fund higher education in the first place. For any asking if we can afford it I ask can we afford not to invest in our future?

Why not. We could replace 'serving suggestions' with images of the health issues most likely to arise. We could insist shops are forced to obscure the products from general view too, and ensure all packaging is bland just to be on the safe side should any eyes spot them and risk being seduced.

Wot no Starmer in the files? Farage is though is he not? The right wing must be miffed? As for Mandelson? Did Mandelson break the law? If so, then why is he only resigning? Is what he did worse than Former 'Reform 2025 Ltd' leader in Wales Nathan gill? Gill is currently doing time is he not?

Charge per television? What if they never watch or record live tv and definitely never watch or record live BBC tv? e.g No licence currently required to view on demand/catch-up content on S4C via the iPlayer. I can't receive BBC via set top box only iPlayer via firestick, I only watch S4C catch-up
