I remember our teacher in the early 1980s sending someone to the bogs for loo roll if we needed tracing paper. It didn't even fulfil the basic purpose of bog roll, it was seemingly designed to make a mess and cause discomfort.

It'll be the water table rising, the accumulation of lots of recent rain. Many rivers are very high at the moment.

Go on, I'll respond even though I probably shouldn't encourage. I don't know what they did or didn't do. I just knew I was honest and nobody complained. I'd guess that they told their client that a couple of boxes hadn't been ticked, it's fairly normal but they can decide whether they think...

Have you seen the weather lately?!

I put one in a jug of water and left it. Absolutely nothing happened. They were cotton. They'll block your drains just as effectively as flushing a pair of jeans down the bog would. As pointed out at the start, if they really were degradable then the pack would be full of mush. They're...

Damp in a garage is fairly normal, as the floor is lower than the DPC, as it has to be so that potential fuel/oil spills from a car don't trickle into the adjoining house. Sadly this just how it is.

The Fabian society founder George Bernard Shaw speaking in 1931... Founded in 1884. One (unproven but credible) theory is that Orwell's book 1984 was inspired by the idea of what the UK would look like in 100 years if the Fabians ran it. Turns out it was pretty accurate (tracking ID app...

I agree that it sounds unbelievable, because it's so ridiculous. I thought it was a conspiracy theory at first. But it's 100% true. Starmer and many others in the cabinet are members of this insane cult. https://fabians.org.uk/on-the-horizon/ Every single Labour prime minister has been a...

By the way, why's it OK for these people to live in camps in France but they need luxury hotels once they get here? Why hasn't a human rights lawyer demanded that France provide them with a room, food, pocket money and a free new phone?

The French definitely don't like the camps, crime and having all sorts of trash crossing their country to get to ours. It's actually in their interests to stop it and for us to return lots of them. A skilled negotiator who wants to stop it (i.e. none of our current government) could persuade...

They do well. But we never seem to be able to have this form of capitalist based socialism. Our lot, guided by Fabian society principles are essentially communists. Socialism is just the way to get elected, then it's a creeping progression towards the end goal of the state owning and...

Socialism works in very small groups of people who know and care about each other. I'm a member of a sports club that's essentially communist. Nobody gets paid, everyone helps each other. But at a large scale, it's counter to basic human nature - which is to look after yourself and family at...

Aww bless, you actually believe this? Socialism relies on the poor staying poor. They need them to remain dependent upon the state so they keep voting for more handouts. If they got wealthier, stood on their own feet and started earning more they'd start to question how much tax they're...

Some first class wonky maths there! Obvious deliberately misleading lefty propaganda, and you probably don't even understand why, but just blindly swallow these sort of "facts" produced by your brainwashing leaders... 42% of OUR exports 8% of THEIR exports - a much bigger total than ours In...

If my best friend took £300 off me every time they popped round they'd cease to be my best friend pretty quickly. If you ever actually do anything practical you can tell us all about it. From California?! No idea why you'd care about UK building regs anyway. Unless it's all fantasy of course.

The coop round here's a right rip-off. Probably as it's essentially a division of the labour party so makes its bosses rich by fleecing the poor who can't afford a car to drive to Tesco. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_and_Co-operative_Party Keeping the poor poor since 1917, good old...

One of these mounted on a ship would sort it... Would be great if it really could rapid fire like that.

Well we'll see what happens when we get a proper government. Something bold will happen and it's very unlikely the French and EU will like it. But that's how stuff gets actually achieved.

Give up the drama queen stuff. Regulations are to REGULATE the building industry, i.e. to ensure that innocent householders don't get conned by cowboys. If I'm doing it myself and understand the regulations then there's little point in me paying £100s for an official rubber stamp to confirm...
