Omg, so the supermarkets are messing with the sourdough bread. Adding additives like ascorbic acid etc. Not therefore a true sourdough loaf.

I think it's true to say that there is no way Trump is going to war with Putin over the Ukraine.

Shame that Honda didn't copy the Chevrolet Bolt ev and make a Honda Jazz based on it.

Surely with about 3 million age eligible youngsters in the uk why do we need overseas students and why are we not helping more uk youngsters into uni education.

We in the Sovereign Democratic Countries are bored with Trumps rantings. If Americans are not careful it is they who will be taken back into the Commonwealth, for their own protection from tyranny.

That Maggie Thatcher got us into a complete and utter mess. Selling off, Water, Electricity, Gas, Oil, and the list goes on.

I'm seeing people having horrendous time trying to hand back their Renault Zoe leased batteries. I'm seeing reports about the Vauxhall Mokka ev and how it appears Vauxhall don't care about software issues. Similarly Citroen and NCAP issues. Will this affect me in buying from them, probably.

So Tesco is paying for yet more expensive technology at self checkouts. VAR style camera monitoring. Yet all it actually needed to do was employ cheap as chips staff to check you out as in yesteryear.

I've not done the maths on this. It's just a feeling, a hunch. Looking at Banks, Supermarkets and other large companies. Since computerisation and ditching staff etc they seem to have done worse, costs up and profits down. The sheer cost of running the computers far outweighs the savings in staff.

Nigel Farage is still playing the populist vote with no idea how to fund any of it. The mans a fool.

Is there really a difference between attention levels when using hand held mobile/cell phone and handsfree. Similarly is talking with onboard passengers similarly dangerous? Moving on is the recording of YouTube videos whilst driving similarly distracting?

I think social media fuels the following action. Whatever government is in power they vote for the opposite at the next election.

Ok, so what's the playground bullies next move. Tell Putin he'll take his ball home.

We were stupid to vote for Brexit but are we stupid enough to vote for Farage - hopefully not.

Memo to internet sellers. As soon as your website starts interrupting with, A) Others are watching this, B) Special discounts. C) Sign up, D) You may like Etc etc Thats when I abort and buy elsewhere.

Just wondering when this Trump guy is going to end the Ukraine war?

When you purchase a sliced loaf do you ever wonder if its an odd or even one. i.e. does it have 13 slices or 14? Or do sliced loafs always have an even number of slices?

Personally I think we should call Wales by its real names Cymru.

Just contemplating changing the odd internal three pin house socket 240volt uk to BS1363-2/EV. Why? Well if they've been tested and made to this standard, if say someone plugged a heavy load into them and left it on for hours they are less likely to overheat and set on fire?

Don't worry old age pensioners. Under your Conservative governments your grandchildren will live in tents, shop doorways or in extremely expensive mould ridden rentals. But had you voted Labour years ago your grandchildren would now be renting good, clean council properties. That guys is the truth.

Mmmmm ?? Is a rear wheel drive ev better or worse in snow and ice than a front wheel drive ev?

It appears that Putin is playing Trump for a fool.

Oh I see, after Brexit our fishermen caught more fish. Entirely true but got paid less. They got paid less? Yes thats right. Due to Brexit it takes longer to get their catch into EU markers so the fish is not premium fresh and is not worth as much.

Now lets see... When was the last time a Senior driver, flew their car upside down, crashed through a wall, demolished a house, wrapped their car round a tree? Yes never. So why the big cry about senior drivers in the media and with insurance premiums sky high.

I do wish radio stations like LBC, BBC etc when playing clips of UK fishermen criticising the continuance of the EU fishing deal would ask the fishermen to be specific.

Its not far away. The day when the Internet becomes totally untrustworthy. When that happens several substantial areas will be affected. We will not be able to use Internet based Banking. No shopping via the Internet. Governments will not be able to communicate via the Internet. Etc,etc.

If you (UK) release prisoners early over and above normal parole releases, what does that tell you. Answer - The prisons are full already.

Some very clever engineering. (Brake/Tyre cooling). Well, hats off to McLarens formula 1 team. Surely exactly what you'd want from a formula 1 team.

Senior drivers like myself should be charged less car insurance than all other drivers. Why? We senior drivers have experience. This means we don't need super fast reactions. We read the road,taking the necessary avoidances before situations develop.

Its getting harder to purchase not easier. For instance. B &Q mostly I find the items not available for click and collect or in-store purchase. Argos very often out of stock or miles and miles away. Google, you do a search and it finds anything other than what you wanted.

That is what Memorial Day is all about. And it is always in May.

I wish our Labour government would give its reasoning behind its decisions. Otherwise I can see the right wing under that dam Farage sweeping into power next time.

Did you notice when Trump said kids could go without toys that it was the girls who would go without.

Its deeply worrying that Badenoch and Farage will deliberately misinterpret the Indian trade deal. Twisting it just like Brexit so that the masses misunderstand and hate Labour.

Oh dear, what next? When I go on a subscribed You tube site I now have to navigate past the Shorts to get onto the full length videos. Why, why,why do they keep messing.

Lets face it, the UK governments thoughts of insisting that retailers etc take cash has nothing to do with the poor. No, they're shit scared that if a cyber attack shuts down electronic payments, riots and thefts etc would ensue.

We the people. Well I the person am totally brassed off with scammers/internet hackers. Please governments worldwide, when you catch them lock them up with no internet access for 40 years. Maybe this attitude may slow them down?

What nonsense is this Tony Blair think tank spouting. Tax pensioners so they downsize from what 3,4,5 bedroom properties. To what? 1 or 2 bed properties. Yes, exactly those properties first time buyers want. Result increased demand and higher prices.

This was not in the manifesto I voted for.

MPs are elected to serve their constituents, not launch their TV careers. We need a clear limit on hours spent and money earned from second jobs. Add you name to our letter. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/170331/...

Yes I haven't done the maths, but here's the idea. Would it be better for our Government to offer households free solar panels and free installation. In return they get half of the electricity produced for free. Rather than spending billions on nuclear power stations?

Well if I were Argo I would sack their web development team. I've just scrolled thru 6 pages of everything but what I as searing for. For instance when were electric toothbrushes classed as a specific garden implement.

"Do you even own a black suit?"

It appears it would take a fair old time to reach another habitable planet. So, how do we keep the electronics working? Most if not all electronic devices appear to fail for instance due to capacitors drying out.
