The above nonsense from lisa needs some clarification. The only reason ANPR CANNOT be used for enforcement purposes in local authority car parks, is because no SofS for Transport has certified any device to be used for enforcement purposes in LA owned car parks. Does lisa understand that? How do I no that, well for years having been in touch with the BHA director, (Patrick Troy) that is ...

Food

I don't think there are any quotas left that apply to uk farmers at the moment. There are still import tarrif quotas which the brexit negotiators are still grapplying with. That indirectly affects uk farmers. Farmers are desperately worried about dropping quotas, it did provide some sort of stability, but it still left many farmers struggling and many have since given up. The biggest loosers ...

As usual Diana Mond comes in with only part of a problem. Why are there potato quotas and milk quotas? In seems to me that we are caught between a rock and a hard place.

And I wonder what happens to a lot of that imported food. Is it wasted because it has gone past it's sell by date after it was purchased by a consumer or is it never sold and had to be thrown away before it reached the shelf in the shop and who pay's for that wastage? The mind boggles.

Plastic

Lisa, it works like this, (and whilst you did not criticise directly) there was an air of he was not doing the right thing as it could be upsetting the wrong people. If you consistently hold up something, (it could be anything) but in this case it is the queue at the checkout that people are concerned about, then would those people complain about being held up because someone was taking the ...

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.

I asled that very question many years ago of Exeter City Council as to how many houses they owned, that were standing empty There answer was on these lines. :- We have to keep a stock of empty properties for unforeseen circumstances and there are proffessional people who move around the country (lecturers, professors and the like, that need accomodation at very short notice. Well what are ...
