  2. I can't find the clip, but someone in the states made a fake delivery device that covered the thief with glitter, played a loud alarm and video recorded them when they open the package. Funny thing is the thief normally abandoned the package when it went off .. Now if we had some clever people on here ...

    COP 26

    TheCat Sarcasm generates hot air thus adding to global warming But none the less never a truer word 😱😂
  4. You can also buy direct from the poppy shop HTTPS://www.poppyshop.org.uk
  5. AKC74 it depends on if you pass a camera linked to the ULEZ system or not Although one suspects that as the scheme matures more cameras will appear on main roads through the area.
  6. The evidence was national not local (which is what I asked for) Try searching for London specific evidence and posting it as we are A) in London B) looking at local not national issues As said, I can find evidence (although somewhat shaky) on Google that clearly states the moon is made of cheese and that astronaut go to the moon to make cheese sandwiches. When presenting facts, simply saying them does not make them true. They need to be backed up with actual evidence and references, sadly a concept that eludes both sides of the LTN narrative so I'm not just picking on one person here. Now if you can find me genuine London or south London evidence that backs up your statement then I'm happy to accept it but as you have waved a national level study and said "see" then it's not going to be enough to make me believe Right, time to jump in my space ship and make a cheese sandwich, want me to pick you one up ?
  7. Duncanw God help you if you ever wrote an academic paper Because the sky is blue this proves my theory that the moon is made of cheese because everyone can clearly see that. As I said, much like a lot of people on here,failing to provide a source or genuine reference and asking the reader to google it, is quite simply poor evidence PS if you type "is the moon made of cheese" into goggle it actually tells you it is, thus proving my point, go ahead and try...
  8. Just seen this website which registers where they ate https://www.thecircuit.uk
  9. DuncanW That's not local or even London specific It's all well and good throwing stats out for the whole of the country, however what I asked for was specifically local information to back up the statement ... 5/10 for effort ,must try harder with your research Oh and yes things can be found on Google but if someone says something then they should reference their source otherwise it's hearsay as happens a lot on here and shouldn't be down to the reader to research because the original poster was too lazy to reference it.
  10. Redpost That's a blatant statement and I hope you can produce very local stats to back it up ?
  11. Oh I give up Misses (another version) Ultimately it's your choice what you are called

    COP 26

If you read my message correctly, it's about the coverage and that I for one want to see results and not the endless media drivel / photo opportunities that are put on the television. I'm not under any illusion and know that real work is done away from the cameras however personally would prefer to see simple updates on : What's been achieved that day What's been agreed and implemented at the end.

    COP 26

    Controversy time I'm already fed up with the coverage of COP 26 , don't know about anyone else but what I want to see / hear is the conclusion and not all the sound bites leading up to it. Whilst it's an important event, I just think the focus should be on results and not politicians getting photo opportunities fist bumping each other.
  14. Sue This article explains the origins of title and debunks the fact that Mrs. Is just about marital status. It appears that it's a fairly recent use as a marital prefix and previously Mistress, Mrs and Miss were interchangeable and restricted to the upper class. Quite a fascinating subject you've raised and being called Mrs. Puts you in the upper class bracket 😱 https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/mistress-miss-mrs-or-ms-untangling-the-shifting-history-of-titles
  15. What did everyone do with the innards of their pumpkins ? Roasted seeds ? Pumpkin pie ? I hope they didn't just end up in the recycling bin
  16. Mein Gott Das riecht nicht nur nach Spam, sondern schmeckt auch nach Spam
  17. Barry's had some this week, can't guarantee they still have some as I haven't been past today.
  18. Can't resist If it's got the queens head on it then it's mine , all mine
  19. I thought Master was the equivalent of Miss in terms of addressing a young male (as in Young Master Smith) But that's a very old fashioned and class dividing expression

I can't stand that > either. Technically the plural of vinyl is vinyl not vinyls but that's a purist argument 😱 Malumbu what did you do when you bought an extended play (EP) or singles or got a 12 inch 🤔 none of those are a long play (LP) It's a minefield But saying all that I always went to a record shop to buy all of them 😎
  21. OutOfFocus Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Vinyl for record. Careful That is a declaration of war to vinyl lovers (and I'm not just talking about people who like to dress in vinyl) Next you will be saying a "gulp" CD is better sounding then a vinyl record (the real use of both words incidentally)

  24. It's very confusing for us blokes Sue. Years ago I worked with a married lady who wanted to be called Miss as she wasn't a "man's appendage" so Mrs upset her. However getting rid of Miss will ruin the opening lines of the Dead Parrot Sketch "Excuse me Miss" Gruff voice "what do you mean Miss?" "I'm sorry, I have a cold"
  25. The issue for some, is not the introduction, but the timing of the introduction. We're still technically in a pandemic and people and businesses have suffered financially over the past few years so they are arguing for a delay of 12 months to allow the economy and businesses to get on to a more stable footing.
