Re: Beggars belief

It might be better to question the local authorities that squandered the money rather the person who gave them the opportunity. I detested Thatcher and all she stood for but even in my wildest moments I know that she didn't spend that money. Squandered what money? Simple maths. Councils were forced...

Re: Beggars belief

This is a hard one. There are obviously a lot of people struggling. Many appear to be single men. Unfortunately our system is designed to support women with kids and offers very little help to single men. On the other hand, when I was a booking clerk on the Underground (in the 90's and 00's) I used ...

Re: Making your own parts

This topic makes me feel pretty useless.

The only thing I've ever managed to make from scratch is a radiator grille for my Funduro. And the saddest part is I was chuffed to bits with myself lol.

Re: EU. In or out?

A lot has changed since they voted to stay in, two massive things I talked about in my post, a landslide victory for SNP in Scotland which amounted to nothing in Westminster, and the Brexit vote. Both have proved the democratic deficit in Scotland in a way that wasn't clear in 2014. Especially sinc...

Re: EU. In or out?

Scotland isn't being run by a dictatorship i.e. England. Scotland had the chance to go for independence but the Scots voted to stay in. Personally I wanted to see Scotland independent. Having a nation that feels it is at the beck and call of another is not good. It may not have made financial sense ...

Re: Motorcycle Live show NEC November - clothing and bags discounts?

Some retailers do special discounts around the time of the Motorcycle Live show and sometimes there are some discount codes available at the show so I'd say if you're going have a look around, try things for size/ fit and ask about discounts. I often find the cheapest online deal and ask at the show...
