I think it's always fundamentally lazy people like him and Boris Johnson in the UK, that project what they would do if they were working from home (Boris said he'd just 'eat cheese') onto others.

Is it because they aren't used for making flour? I always got annoyed about people calling wind turbines "windmills" but maybe I need to let this one go?

I'd love to come up and see that one day. Is it still a big thing for the locals these days?

Just love the whole concept of north sea windmills, are they to make flour for the rig workers bread?

Ah yes, leave Apple in charge of who enters my house. Hardest "no". Cloud and/or wifi has no place in home security.

Can we have a law that severely restricts bonuses, pay rises, dividends etc unless price rises have stayed below inflation for previous 5 years?

Did we at least kill off the "self charging hybrid" bollocks? Always made as much sense to me as a "self filling bank account"

Pet peeve of mine - you have a device in your home, connected to your wifi, and your phone connects to the same wifi. There is zero reason for that setup to require an internet connection to work.
