Possibly less likely to choke on a nice soft rare bite of meat, than an overcooked hard to chew lump in throat bit of meat that might come its way in this country.

Rare is not raw. But anyway Otta I see it quite the opposite of how you see it : vindaloo = lads night out v quality rare burger = fine dining Alternatively: Hot curry = can't taste the meat : as against: rare = taste the meat at its most succulent

A quality burger served rare is as good as a steak for me. Yum. Agree with MM - its nanny state and hopefully quality restaurants will be able to defend this. People who get food poisoning are more likely to have picked it up from a poorly run restaurant from chicken, pork or shellfish than from a freshly minced burger.

Can I be first to say ...... Donoghue v Stevenson...

Chener Books paid less than ?10m in corporation tax last year.

Get a room.

The UK public should consider a boycott irrespective of the 10/20m. Its a relatively inexpensive publicity stunt.

The swiss are now declaring all UK account holders to HMRC or withholding tax. Don't go there.

My respect is "on hold".

The Clanceys + banjo = paradise is a folk band.

Thank you Jah.

No. Did I say it had ?

Terrible. I really respected him.

Woohoo! London calling. As Alan Green has just said, no-one gave us an earthly of qualifying from this group. The away win in Moscow was the spur.

Celtic lead but.the team Barca have out is a joke. Benfica are all over them. Very annoying.

Cmon Celtic .... Cmon Barca..... please please please

New ?77m funding for HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in this Spending Review period to expand their anti-avoidance and evasion activity, specifically those focusing on offshore evasion and avoidance by wealthy individuals and by multinationals. This is expected to bring in an additional ?2bn per year in tax that would have otherwise gone unpaid
