If you have electric storage heaters have you discovered if you are charging them up overnight on a standard or cheaper overnight tarrif. When we were in an all electric house we had Economy 7 which meant electricity at night when the heaters charged up was much cheaper than during the day, so we even had the washing machine on timer to come on during the night. Little things like that can make ...
don't worry Brazilnut, have some prunes or something, that will soon sort you out. Would hate to think of you suffering with constipation but strange that you should bring the subject up on so public a forum. Must be a very bad case.
@Lynne - it amazes me that you can get so hot under the collar about people having, in your view, too much land, or too many cars or even too much money. and yet, you see nothing wrong in people having extra bedrooms and you defend their right to have the taxpayers of this country subsidising the additional room in their homes. total hypocrite aren't you!
The difference is that many homes down here were bought by people already resident in the UK full time. In some parts of London (various Boroughs have this problem, there is no "Borough of London", there are Boroughs that make up London) homes are being marketed abroad "off plan" before other parts of the developments are then marketed in the UK.

Surely it isn't just about speed, it is also about capacity. Having this extra route will enable them to increase capacity on ALL routes North/South. It is just as well that the Victorians weren't this nimbyish otherwise we wouldn't have ANY railways, canals would have still been the major way of transporting freight and the wealth of this country would have been diminished because of it.
It's a harmless bit of fun and at least she got off the train and had a look around. Also, it doesn't hurt to know how others see us.
behind Sainsbury's is being built on for the new industrial units, first ones are up for sale at the moment with plans showing the next phases so it might be next to those
Well said Prime Minister, We'll have more of that please. The joy of Olympic and Jubilee years is that we are allowed to be proud of ourselves as a nation without being made to feel guilty over it. We need much more of that EVERY year. Last Night of the Proms coming up, get those singing voices ready.
