I made it until nearly 40 before I started suffering hay fever - the 14 years since have been pretty grim around March - April But this year it has continued right through until now, and even my daughters are showing some symptoms for first time - so you are definitely not alone! If I take my nasal spray and Claritin tablets daily I usually avoid the worst - but if I forget are don't start a couple of weeks before symptoms start, then I'm on back foot For last week or so, I would say throat irritation and even breathing is a bigger symptom than eyes/nose (that being said yesterday and today a bit better)

Nadine at the sherry again ?Out of the EU, our new Data Reform Bill will ensure everyone can take back control of their personal data. We're also making it far easier for businesses to unlock the power of data to grow the economy, while strengthening the UK?s high data protection standards 👇 ?

That 100 really hurts. Because it?s perfect

Selfies - [insert word], great or somewhere in between? As a word puzzle it?s not too tricky ?Terrible? ?Awful? Any other synonym that doesn?t single out an unrelated group of people

Have your own opinion about selfies But ?chavvy? in the context of the title of this thread is grim It?s a polluted term that refers to a specific social class and if you wanted to talk about that then by all means do But it has nothing to do with selfies - selfies exits across every single demographic.

you're the one who called people disagreeing ""Typical hyperbolic and virtue signalling" - so easy with the "welcome to Britain where..." nonsense

Someone starts a new thread policing local business and judging them on flags People point out that maybe businesses in question don't care about the whole thing (which is absolutely fair and up to them) and what does the OP come back with? "Typical hyperbolic and virtue signalling (" I mean there is one person engaging in those things and it' you dear Nigello

Ah such innocent 2014 days 8 more years of Tory rule and we can see that Thornberry was the true monster

Tide Is Turning Slowly. Oh so slowly. But it is Ellwood Hannan column today Even they would deny it. But happening it is

That list of 2000 suggestions on what to do solicited by Rees-mogg has more sucky vacuum cleaners at number two. Would love to see what?s at the bottom of the list Getting rid of Johnson won?t help. Let?s say it?s mordaunt. Or hunt. Or truss. Or (insert your own favourite here) None of them can get us to sunlit uplands Because Sure none of them are very capable. But more realistically it?s fools gold in first place and only dumb people continue to insist otherwise. (Yes you can be super clever and dumb simultaneously) What Timmy golf club in Surrey wants isn?t what Brenda in Carmarthen wants. Or what hannan/cat want Now politics has always been a broad church. But only Brexit promised so much to so many competing views as it?s own special promise. Country still is nowhere near coming close to realising. It?s still all communism ?if only it was done my way?

This is without the consideration ?should any party that has had 4 leaders on 6 years and called 3 to 4 elections in that time even be considered as stabile/capable of running a country? And after 12 years in power it?s clear that no matter who leads them they are an empty yet dangerous vessel and any hint of re-election rewards ineptitude on a massive level.

Well I for one agree x 10

This return to imperial measurements will really show the rest of the world we truly are global Britain won?t it A glorious figure awaits, rejoice!

Sure. That?s how all this works Management will care about takings and footfall. If they go down, and they can determine it?s because they don?t accept cash, then they might change But I suspect their customer base is largely onboard with cashless and everything else is at best pointless annoyance and at worst makes people earning not much money more stressed I?m not deaf to the problems with an entirely cashless society. But this helps no one As I?ve said - cash isn?t some immutable element of nature . It came along after years of trading via other means (and was almost certainly opposed by many at the time) And now it?s fading away. Far better to absorb the info and learn how to adapt than pretend otherwise

Yeah. Someone on living wage is going to LOVE dealing with customers like that

"cash" isn't some god-given, natural force It's only been around, relatively speaking over history of time, for a short time It was better than barter - and I do understand that some older people just don't get cashless. But so few actual customers now bother with cash it's just uneconomic to deal with I'm no spring chicken but not dealing with cash has been a joy. Never having to queue to take cash out? Or worry about bandits looking for my PIN/distraction

from an Irish magazine in 1994 "Recently, Coughlan has moved back to London, a city to which he once said he would never return. He and his wife live in Dulwich, a curious little enclave sandwiched between the Olde Tory Towne of Dulwich Village (where Thatcher was supposed to domicile after she retired) and Peckham. When Cathal goes running, he slows down while passing through the heart of Dulwich Village to give the locals a good look at his favourite Fatima Mansions t-shirt, the one depicting Michael Portillo and Peter Lilley in flagrante delicto."

Indeed malumbu indeed. All true And a former resident of east Dulwich to boot

Surely the most Foxy of all Foxy posts

Glad your daughter is ok Jeremy. Nice to see people rally as well As for the rest - sounds a bit fishy to me. Not knowing the forum was closing would take the biscuit

I get the attraction of using the apps (pretending everyone wants to cook fro scratch or eat healthily all the time is one thing. But come on - reality) Using an app removes all of the hassle of communication (in London especially that can go both ways - caller and hassled restaurant worker) - plus you end up with verifiable proof of what was ordered in case of "misunderstanding" But the cut required by these apps is extortionate and unsustainable - people who want the convenience should be the ones paying the extra, not the restaurant Saying restaurants can simply "opt out" is naive - as others have pointed out - someone using these apps for the smorgasbord of choice won't even KNOW a restaurant not on the app exists - even if the restaurant goes to the bother of pushing flirs/offers through the door. These apps ARE the marketplace now - so expecting restaurants to just click their fingers and reduce costs/wages by 30% is pretty offensive

I?d say most restaurants on Deliveroo aren?t Michelin rates either. What?s your point Ken? You tried to say ja doesn?t know what they are talking about but they clearly do. And they are way more graceful and polite than you. So what?s your actual point ?

Frost still losing his mind He was proud of his deal. Bigged it up massively He walked away from his deal and says it?s shit. Unconscionable. Forced on him But he won?t shut up What is the point of him. He didn?t have any power. Had some power. Loved it. Hated it. Blames everyone else.
