Re: Easy jet

David I will decide who I vote for, when the time comes to vote. Things may well change before then. You also have Labour supporters who will always vote Labour, regardless of the decisions they have made, or who is standing. So what's your point ? Which party do you vote for as a matter of interes...

Lotus Quite so, but it seems that they won't/can't. Boris was voted in to bring about Brexit, and he did. However it doesn't necessarily follow that he can handle every situation that hits the UK.

Does your landlord show you the electricity bill every time he wants you to pay it?
I don't think that the authorities will accept it, as your contract is not legal unless signed and stamped by a lawyer.
Also your landlord is probably doing this to avoid paying tax on his income from the rent

Re: Procedure for buying a second hand car privately

I don't think that the citizens centre in the post office will exchange ownership, the one on butcher boy road does you just turn up and take a ticket to wait your turn.

Re: No new countries added to UK Green List, according to BBC.

The up side is I think that as the British tourist industry is suffering also, it wouldn't do any harm to keep British tourist money in the UK for this summer at least.

Jamie Olivers places used to serve fried breakfasts in frying pans, it is just a fad, and as said most overpriced young and trendy places do this kind of thing.
So if your not young or trendy stick to what you know best, like a greasy spoon 😜

After a few years I tried Heinz again and found them far too sweet, so I went back to the Italian stuff. I now have Heinz no sugar beans and they are just right f...
