You know that saying 'Beware Greeks bearing gifts' - well........ perhaps that should be updated to 'Beware Chinese kettles and Russian freebee computer software'. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2480900/China-spying-KETTLE-Bugs-scan-wi-fi-devices-imported-kitchen-gadgets.html
Yes, Huw I agree with you. It had also gone through my mind that perhaps the poster message should be the other way around. ie no poster/pumpkin or whatever being displayed = please do not knock on door. Poster saying 'Trick or Treat Welcome Here' (or similar wording)/pumpkin being displayed = please knock on door I wish to participate. Wonder why that's not happened?
Single lane traffic system and temporary traffic lights appeared mid afternoon. Delays getting into, and out of, the Exeter side of town.
A polite request for those who go out trick or treating this evening. It is not funny to throw eggs at property, cars etc. It can be very frightening and intimidating for vulnerable people to have eggs thrown at their properties just because they won't open the door to you.

Slight tangent I know but............just wondering idly to myself whether the Chinese involvement in our nuclear energy plants might give rise to any future security issues?
As long as what is leaked out? The contents of whatever it is that has been listened into or the fact that they are having their communications tapped? And surely if things get leaked out then the gaff gets blown on the fact that someone, somewhere, is listening in? Advantageous to whom? And who does the leaking? Since when have the leaders of western european countries posed a threat to ...
So, if you agree that they are not terrorists why then have they had their phones and other forms of communication listened into? And I do wonder just how much the dirty tricks brigade are now up to their er..........dirty tricks. Black ops I think the spooks call it. (Anyone else remember that really great tv programme Spooks and all the things they got up to?)
Why has Angela Merkel's phone been tapped? Is she a terrorist? EU officials? Are they terrorists? The leaders of other European countries? Are they posing a terrorist threat?
