Plastic
12 Jan 2018

Lets hope that leatash's action (in spite of the way other's view it) will find it's way to the top. Cashiers get flack all off the time for somethings that are nothing to do with them. I have seen it and I expect others have as well. I have seen customers standing and waiting their turn at the checkout, when it is their turn, they have got nothing ready, they can't even find where they have put ...

String fishing nets, paper bags, glass bottles, cheese cut off the block and wrapped in paper, a shopping bag that mum made out of old curtains, potatoes wern't wrapped in plastic, they were weighed in front of you and tipped into your shopping bag, fish and chips wrapped in news paper, etc,etc. If you bought a fizzy drink (Corona in my days) you paid a deposit on the bottle and took the empty ...

Plastic is the topic for discussion at the moment and I hope it continues. Theresa May has set out a plan that will come to some sort of fruition in 25years time. I would have thought it needed immediate urgent attention. Would readers of this site stop buying goods that are wrapped in plastic, or stop buying goods that are sold in plastic bottles etc,etc? If less people bought plastic ...

I only put it on because there was little other new discussions, just food for thought.

Rail Fares

Rail franchises 'not giving value for money' A highly critical report from the National Audit Office says passengers on the UK's largest rail franchise have suffered the worst disruption in the country. It adds that services on Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern have been the worst on the network since Govia Thameslink (GTR) ...

M&S
10 Jan 2018

No news about anytihng for a few days. Maybe this topic will wet your appetite. M&S are being accused of over-pricing their food. My experience of the past was just that, and I have never gone to shop for food in there since. If people are so stupid to pay a lot more for food that can be bought at less than have the price they are selling it for, then that's a problem for them. They don't ...

How does that really add to what I pasted cocky? Who are the parliamentary authorities cocky that would make that statement?

8 Jan 2018

Well I never! Don't they do anything else? More than 24,000 attempts have been made to access pornographic websites in parliament since June’s general election, new figures reveal. A total of 24,473 attempts to access the material from devices connected to parliament’s network were made up until October 2017 – totalling around 160 a day on average. The data, released after a ...

Parking tickets

Plod And I have told you on many occasions that there has been no approval given by the SofS for Transport. But that did not sink in. All you did was claim that LA's could use ANPR in their car parks, but you never qualified that statement. Yes they can use ANPR for management purposes but not for enfocement and that was the crux of my point when using ANPR. To my knowledge, there is nowhere in ...

Plod, you appeared to me and others, that you are some sort of expert on this subject. It has now become clear to me anyway, that you have had crossed wires and not me. I general terms, (because I gather information from the correct sources) I always knew that ANPR is not used officially in any off street car park, but I wasn't going to play my hand on that score. There are many things for ...
