None here, either, in the middle of the country, perhaps for 4 or 5 years.

None here this year, nor in the spring. two years ago a-plenty!

What is a linear park?

don't think I'll bother posting on the Brexit threads ever again

Good! Excellent news!

Potato gratin? Oh! You mean rösti and I don't mean English 'rosti' which is an 'orrible imitation!

Good! Excellent product. I'll also stock up on the potato croquettes, light and good. 3-4 mins in a deep fryer at low temp (160°C is good).

Bit on the small side!

So we have to accept that we will never eradicate TB in cattle, so why spend money trying to do it ?

So you don't mind all your dairy products come from TB-infected milk? Get real.

.... and they were, and now the Country is paying dearly for it!

How has the UK widened its bounds since 1945 up to 2019? Oh! India (Pakistan), Malaya, Burma, Ceylon, Singapore, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), Kenya, Nigeria and many more with the king's head on its postage stamps.

As usual, we had our fill of misplaced patriotism in a glorious ambiance of music. 'And did those Feet ... walk on England?' Utter poppycock! 'Wider ... shall thy bounds be set' Oh yeah? 'Send her victorious' In this day and age and over whom? But it was great entertainment: loved it! However, i had...

BUT, I understand from my M.P. that the EU will not allow vaccination of cattle against TB. Simply because a) the vaccination has not proved effective in all cases and b) a cow with the disease prior to the vaccination can transmit it to other beasts for weeks before it can be detected. Horrible, y...

I'm quite happy to pay for my Weetabix, about 10 c per piece.

I would not use UPVC especial if in full sun as thee is a a lot of movement in the profile and panels especial the woodgrain colours plus they are not the best for security, Nonsense! I've had white UPVC doors and windows for >10 years and would have no other (including south-facing). Better insula...

Is it a surprise? Here, you have wheat grown in fields no bigger than a pocket handkerchief, so small a combine harvester would be bigger! Within 5 km of here, I've seen 7 patches of wheat ranging, by eye, from estimated 100 m² to 300 m². Where is the economy of scale in that?

Go for UPVC. Better heat and sound insulation and doesn't dent.

at last the Police have or will have proper equipment which records accurately the number of decibels being produced...

Not just the equipment but also the training to use it correctly.

What about the noise from idiots with unsilenced two-wheelers?

What the hell does it matter if Frau von Storch was the granddaughter of Hitler's finance minister??????? Oh, yes, I know; it is to discredit her by proxy.

Bercow was, by far, the best Speaker in living memory. He got rid of many of the 18th-century trappings surrounding parliament whilst maintaining dignity, a tight-rope walk. Equally a tight-rope was maintaining fairness to the Opposition Members, remembering he was Conservative in his private feelin...

As a long-term (12 years) user of hybrid vehicles, I believe that they are the only way forward at this time in Cyprus, to reduce carbon emissions. However, there are some ifs and buts beyond my average reduction of petrol consumption (and CO2 emissions proportionally) for similar-sized vehicles fro...
