retainers are a minority.. A loud minority, but a minority. UKIP, far from being right wing has as more ex members of the Labour Party than ex members of the Conservative party. Couple that with the fact that the leader of the Labour Party does not want to be in Europe and that the leader of the Con...
this sums up Bellevue road at least.... “I look down on him because I am upper class.” “I look up to him because he is upper class, but I look down on him because he is lower class. I am middle class.” “I know my place. I look up to them both, but I don’t look up to him as much as I look up to him c...
The referendum decision should have been set at a quorum. two thirds of two thirds.. not just 50.1% The requirement deserved to have been thought through. ( I am a leaver but I'm not stupid) although old news.. now ancient news. Cameron went to get something, came back with nothing and still thought...
the idea of democracy is that you can vote them out.. you can't vote out the EU leaders..
given that Teresa May couldn't negotiate herself out of a paper bag, the sooner we leave this corrupt cash sucking power hungry dictatorship the better..
that is a high budget for a simple kitchen floor refurb. Go for the bigger rebuild and budget well. Aim for 80k all in. if you can get the builders to handle the entire project you should be able to control costs better. That's the tough part. finding the right team that won't rip you off. and if yo...
Hybrids and fully electric cars already have complex batteries which cannot be simply disposed of at end of life and cost about 4k to replace. Hybrids still need fuel. A finite resource last time I read. Charging points are a terrible compromise that only serves those who install and market them..as...
what an utter waste of time. the solution for electric vehicles is not losing more valuable car parking spaces but to have standard replaceable batteries at our petrol stations to swap out just like we fill up. Tesla design the batteries Dyson design the enclosures Ford and GM and VW to standardise ...
I'm all for trees, but I do hope thought has gone into the siting of the trees and their roots and the need for pruning and leaf collection. and neighbour consultation. BTW why are crab-apple and flowering cherry planted on our streets. Trees have to be useful and not a messy pain, useful in terms o...
Hi, yes this does happen but is forgotten about very soon afterwards. I would invite the birthday child over for a playdate. We kind of more or less know all the mums and dads of the children in my 7 year old daughters year and we limit any party/activity to 7 so some do get left out but.. hey.. tou...
I'm not sure what to think here, so I hope to get some views. Is it right that parents who intend to move their children from State to Independent primary schools have noted positions in PTAs (chair, secretary, treasurer etc) or be parent governors of state primary schools? I do realise they will va...
My daughter attended an 8th birthday party there and it was quite tough enough for that age group. 10... a difficult choice..
If it was their very first time on this type of challenge... I would go for the junior route..
BTW the two original mails look like plants or ads.. Why don't we see solar cells on houses like we all wish we did? Because they are not cost effective. Simple. Construction of the cells. Huge environmental impact in terms of pollution, material extraction, and transport costs Fitting of the cells ...
what a lot of gobbledygook. A typical .gov list of meaningless statistics.
I'm not knocking any school mentioned, but I lets stick to how many GCSE A & A*s (8 &9) a school achieves.
keep it simple.
