It's 'nicer', but I don't find transfers any quicker. Overall, no doubt an improvement, but frankly, I am more concerned with having a reliable, regular train service from ED.

Going out to the pub and sitting at home drinking Beck's Blue aren't really comparable experiences though.

These schemes are ridiculous. Once every single place is 'residents only', everyone will be able to have a car parked on their street, they just won't be able to take it anywhere.

I was playing poker with a friend the other night. He was drinking and smoking heavily (and gambling too, obviously) and announced with no sense of irony, that he was giving up bread in January as it was not good for your health.

This is probably a dumb question, but does the provider make much difference to the speed you get in your house? Isn't the local infrastructure that delivers the service to your house all the same?

We need, specifically, more social housing. Ideally, council housing. Building more luxury flats, aimed at the overseas market will make minimal impact on your average person's ability to get a foot on the ladder. In fact it can just make things worse, by fueling a speculative bubble.

that's really sad about Bonnie's.

Blue passports. Not sure what else to say. The country seems to be having some kind of psychotic episode.

Hope you're OK JohnL. I saw your other post - may want to take a bit of time before rushing to do something you might regret in terms of retribution though. Sorry this happened to you.

Blimey. Don't do anything silly JohnL

How's parking a major issue around the Dog Kennel Hill Estate exactly? There's plenty of parking across the estate and the surrounding roads.

Staffies can be very sweet. The problem is that on the rare occasions that they do attack, they can do a lot of damage.

That's ridiculous. The roads around the Dog Kennel Hill Estate have plenty of parking. What's the problem it's looking to address exactly?

Brexit costing us ?350m a week in lost output:

... by the time we get to the end of the transition period, things could have swung significantly in favour of remain.

I think it's partly the result of people turning 18. As more and more young people join the voting age population, the split moves in favour of remain.

The other thing which can effect the pay gap is outsourcing something like maintenance or catering (which may have an over representation of either men and women on low pay). This is the problem with reporting the gender pay gap without any analysis. You may have lot's of low pay cleaning staff, who are predominantly women. Outsource the service and suddenly it looks as though you've drastically cut the pay gap. In reality no one is better off.

TheCat is right. These are two different things. One is an example of a female employee being paid less than men doing the same job (which is unlawful). The second figure relates (presumably) to the gender pay gap, which tells you the difference between the average pay of all female employees and the average pay of all male employees (which is about representation). A couple of highly paid executives of either gender can skew the latter.

It's not just cigarettes, it's any kind of littering - except dog poo, for which the fine is only ?50 bizarrely. Personally I'd rather pick up someone's sweet wrapper than their canine's excretions.
