EDF is literally an echo chamber... I hope Boris moves in just to trigger you all. Never noticed that TWB .. 🤣

Wow I didn't realise that Germany has one of the highest household Gas Bills in Europe and now they are imposing a levy on households to cover the cost of replacing Russian Supplies. Just don't tell our Government 🤣 BBC News - German households face levy of hundreds of pounds on gas bills https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62554464

I thought the LTN has made a virtual gated community out of the village 🤔

There's a prize for the first to spot Boris snd Carrie shopping for pizza in sainsburys 🤔

Let's look at the positive aspects He and his police security will get so fed up of receiving LTN tickets or not being able to drive straight into the village without hitting "displaced" traffic that he will have a word in the shell like of the transport secretary and Bob's your bleeding auntie the LTN scheme may be reviewed Equally house prices locally may tumble as a result of his arrival and locals can afford to live here again. There will be police on street corners so crime may disperse. Finally, not forgetting the tourism benefits as bus loads of Japanese will come to the area to see the star of the film Carrie and local shops and resturants will achieve record sales as a result

Try messaging Chick on here as I think he is involved with bees

Maybe he's read the forum and felt the love so many have expressed for him on here.🤣

Ohhh now I fancy a game of arrows Reg what have you started

It's an issue caused by the 5 year election term. As soon as a government gets into power they look at two things What they want to undo from the previous government and what they want to implement over the next 5 years. Then about 18 months before the next election they look at what short term popular items they can deliver to boost their pre election ratings. Regardless of if they win again or not, the next parliament after an election looks at the following 5 year delivery window and things start again. Long term planning (next 10, 20 or 30 years) doesn't really happen because to do that the government in power would need to get the opposition parties to agree that the plan has to happen regardless of who's in power and politics bring politics that's just not going to happen unless it's a national emergency (war, famine or such like) Blaming one party or the other or the brexit vote doesn't really cut through the issue that for long term planning to occur, political parties would have to work together for the sake of the electorate which would in turn allow major projects to start, complete and be implemented regardless of who was in power when. So back to the question, possibly they do but they are hampered by the very political system that puts them , or removes them from power.

It's not easy being green BBC News - Climate change: Drought highlights dangers for electricity supplies https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-62524551 Talks about the issues of green energy during heatwaves or periods of bright sun and how green generation is down at the moment across Europe as well as here

Very Phillip Pullman

What I'm still failing to grasp is that companies like EDF claim a large proportion of their energy is renewable yet the price they charge is dictated by the gas and coal fired energy suppliers so are they making a profit In slight support of Cats statement, only slight, what happens when the wind drops and its dark? The renewable energy suppliers still haven't worked out how to store electricity whilst it's windy and sunny so on a still dark night when home consumption is highest, the grid needs alternative sources to keep lights on which is mainly fossil fuels.

Epic fail Jazzer as the OP did say that Google gives too many options and it's a specific type of love they wanted 😅

When you travel along Barry Road to the library, there's a similar sign on the left just before the lights indicating no access ahead. It's been position in such a way that it blocks the left hand turn filter until you are past it. The signs really should have a distance on them to indicate no traffic in 500 yds as they are currently confusing Had anyone complained to the council or DfT ?

Maybe it's the council burning their bridges over the LTN issues 🤔

Here's a random thought Cornwall insight have predicted the price cap could reach £4,200 per annum in January based on current trading prices and modelling. Could it be that they are predicting high so that any increase below that feels like a win for the consumer "oh its not as high as predicted" sort of thing ? In a few days we will know the Ofgem figures and whilst it will still be a shock and painful, will it be as high as predicted?

Anytime someone famous dies and the media goes to town, I think about all the other deaths that occur where there won't be any major recognition. Like birth and taxes, death is a given occurance and an occupational hazard of life and the fact that everyone morns someone who the saw once in a film or on telly or in the paper just makes me think how voyaristic we are as a species especially as only a very few of those deaths impact us as individuals beyond uttering "I liked him/her in ..." Think what you will but be honest, how does famous people falling off their perch really impact you unless you knew them personally and last saw them in the dirty duck over a pint ?

Agree with you on that cookie

Did you find the cause?

Whilst her passing is sad on a level that touches those who remember her fondly, I can't help thinking of all the unnamed victims of cancer who died yesterday and that their passing won't be remembered by the world's media.

It's bbq season so could be someone's bbq you are smelling 🤔

I do Billy, last week Stan Jacked off in the Ditch upsetting poor Mrs Brown as she had touched the Jack building up a head. The crowd were mildly shocked as they were expecting the end to come quickly but obviously Stan's balls didn't perform as he expected.

Sexual orientation and religion are part of the equalities question Not really needed unless they want to know how many transvestite Plymouth brethren object to buses going one way only That's why I question the equalities requirements.

Responded Would love to know how they spin it and why they always ask equalities questions
