My mother always swore that saying 'coloured' was her generations way of not being racist. Nothing could change her belief. The millennials have different beliefs to me too I think.

Doesn't give the impression outside or downstairs of being posh so posh food upstairs wouldn't work IMHO. There must be something to do with that space

Some of these workers have their wages deducted if they accept a dodgy note So I could understand the guy in the newsagents if they can't verify Scottish ones. What about Brixton pounds in Peckham.

But the Scots always say (with a little attitude) 'I'll think you'll find, pal, that's legal tender' Can I refuse to accept them as change for my pint :)

It was never about the short term for me - the argument somehow ended up being about the short term, maybe because that's how people think these days. We are out for ever (or 41 years if you count between referendums) Nobody came up with an idea of what we'll be like in 30 years. Farage seems to see the 1950s as some sort of ideal. Will relations with the rest of the EU sour to an extent we join another block (NA or Russia).

What's this about Boris not having any notes at the meeting. Did he really not do his homework as he was told. Bad Boris

Maybe the movers and shakers can get round that by producing stuff here :)

On Mays shoulders may it be then :) I wonder what people will think of her in 10 years (people tend to lie about how they vote).

I see the legal challenge being successful and a commons vote being ordered to be honest.

So why would aircraft noise be different to bus/car noise (or screaming drunk girls all night).

Felt a bit of autumn in the air this morning Halloween will be here soon enough :)

Don't forget boxes like PS3/4 and XBox get Amazon and Netflix (if you subscribe)

So when walking down Rye Lane with garden shears held out in front of you When stopped 'I'm just off to sharpen them' :)

I saw this episode of South Park - it doesn't end well.

When I used to walk through the cyclists used to 'ride' with one foot on the floor one on the pedal - technically they were not riding.

How often the oil is changed and what oil it is, how many times you fry, potato type I suppose are some variables. Science or Art :)
