The way he talks about being asked tough questions suggests he thinks people should not be allowed to. I wonder if he told the BBC he'd only give an interview if they didn't ask specific questions? If he ever became PM, I assume he'd stop taking questions or just go full-Trump and slate every...

Many people seem happy to tap and open the gates if they find the gates are closed when they expected them to be open. If you hang near a gateline you'll see loads of people finding their card rejected whey try and enter, meaning they've done it enough times for TfL to blacklist their card...

And that enables Farage to continue the victim complex, by saying he's being cancelled by the media. It's quite obvious and tiresome at this point in time, given Trump has done the same for ten years now, but it works. The more you are held to account, the more of a victim you are. The offences...

Given the statute of limitations, I think I'm now safe to confess that I used to have a weekly visit from a man who had the latest films recorded on VHS tapes.. which I'd rent, then tape-to-tape to make copies that I sold to people at school (including teachers). I had lists (typed on my...

I think going forward we're going to see Nigel favour these controlled broadcasts, where he knows he can't be asked awkward questions by pesky journalists. At the party conference, he can be sure he knows who is there and that he won't be asked anything. Any media he doesn't like who dare to...

I do think economies of scale plays a part, but also I expect the lack of choice is also a reason electric buses and coaches are still expensive. Then there's the need for depots to have the infrastructure installed (locally, Uno buses have loads of buses still to be brought to site because a...

I think the council had a poll on reopening it and the majority said they wanted it open again. Now I have no clue how they managed such a poll, as the online community have been very upset about losing such good content, so did they check if all the positive votes were from locals and not...

Freedom of speech... Witch hunt... Establishment trying to shut a patriot down. I can see one or all of those things being spouted in the coming days.

Screens aren't that expensive (well, to the railway I'm sure they are) but you can solve a lot of issues with waiting for screens to go through multiple pages by having more screens, or perhaps changing the layout so - perhaps - you have the next train or two always on every display with a...

I would hope even the wires on the ECML could manage a small drone coming into contact. The photo on the site suggest they're bigger than your average drone used for filming, but nevertheless I would expect the risk to be low.

I haven't been to a market or car boot sale in ages, but I remember when unsold magazines were sold off by WHS News (distribution arm) and could often be found for peanuts. Does anyone know if that still happens? I guess with so few people reading newspapers or magazines anymore, you couldn't...

They also didn't plan for cases where people break the rules and society tolerates and even supports it if the person breaking the rules is someone they support.

None of the above (perfectly correct) statements mean he won't still go ahead and do it anyway to test the legal system (which he can then ignore). The forefathers never really planned for someone who might just do whatever they want regardless of the rules. Only the second amendment seems to...

Clever!

Half empty shelves, dirty carpets, point of sale stands falling to bits, missing price labels and so on aren't necessarily signs of a store closing - that seems to have been a normal WH Smith high street tradition for decades!!

Many Tesco stores have the chargers near their buildings, just not near the actual entrance. If risk assessments are worried about vehicle fires then why are ICE cars allowed to park when they're far more likely to catch fire and when the fuel tanks go up they spread fuel in all directions? It...

That's a legal requirement on ALL new cars. Most car makers now make it easy to turn off safety aids with a shortcut key (on mine, I hold a button for a couple of seconds). The only thing to be aware of is that I can see insurance companies trying to use the deactivation of active safety...

We used to do subscriptions on an auto renewal system. Sometimes we did special promos for the first few magazines free or heavily discounted, but you had to contact the company that managed the subscriptions to cancel.

All of my performance cars have been manual, and petrolheads would never have wanted an auto back in the day. Practicing your gear shifts for maximum power, especially 0-60 or on twisty roads requiring regular braking, was all part of owning such a vehicle. With things like DSG gearboxes...

Being too lazy to search, how many years back have people predicted the demise of WH Smith high street shops? Not the travel ones, but high streets (the ones TG Jones took over)? Back in my day of print, we offered very good discounts for subscriptions so the best way to save your favourite...
