They then put the results of the poll through an algorithm (how likely is a 20 year old to vote, how likely is an 80 year old etc.). The algorithms differ by polling organisation.

checking the Swansea City links on twitter during a game half the comments are linked to betting accumulators. we always let the betters down :) My advice - NEVER chase your losses (I don't bet now but this is how your money just goes if you do)

There was a bit of taking the mickey in my post as Owen Jones's twitter reaction was "This is extremely sinister" :). In other news latest Survation poll has the Tory lead down to 6 now - but Mr Farage's unilateral deal not included in those figures and not sure of the effect of what he's done.

We've got scaffolding over Co-Op because our cladding is being replaced as it was marked up as not meeting the new demands. I think it's similar for a lot of flats.

Labour has been hacked - obviously by the Russians (or some other nefarious group) and Boris still won't release the data

People can post photos IMHO but if the person in the photos asks for them to be removed they should be (again IMHO). The guys in many of the photo's on here have no idea they're there - not sure if that's right but it's how it is.

I know people can be caught out ill - there actually isn't much of a procedure for dealing with such in public other than run.

They say on their websites the drivers will always do so it asked especially now (tescos and sainsburys) have no bags

Just watched "Brittannia season 2" and even though Kay Burley doesn't believe a word of it - the original UK inhabitants were quite strange and the Romans had more in common with current culture.

Amazon chucked our deliveries on the shared staircase last Xmas :) You can leave instructions on the order however (and it sticks for all orders to your address)

One day Boris will make a mistake even he can't get out of. It's just a matter of time. I just hope he takes Pritti Patel down with him .. Raab and Leadsome too.

Only fish I've had full of bones was Skate - it was horrible (went straight back to cod)

I helped my driver bring things in and I remind them where the lift is in the building on the order. We had a good gossip :)

That's it for you Greta deniers :) She's teamed up with Arnie and he'll be back.

Mine brought them to my dining table (I invited him in first) as there's no bags now.

Watch it wasn't pulled from your letterbox if not pushed completely through when posted. One boy had the cheek to do this, ring my door and say the bank letter required my signature (he then produced a scruffy bit of paper for me to sign). I rang the bank and they said their bank cards and pins never require my signature. That,s when I insisted the bank send cards and pins to my bank branch instead.
