Then they've failed :)

They would then open automatically for any vehicle or person on foot that crossed the detection beam, defeating the point of having gates, or else every legitimate user would have to have a remote control?

I can think of several more worst case scenarios: How about, they are stolen and you are implicated in receiving stolen goods? He abandons half of them, but when you get fed up waiting and dispose of them the rightful owner turns up? You try to dispose of them as scrap but are prosecuted for...

Lenin said something about it being too soon to assess the effects of the French Revolution - I think. Or was it someone else?

One thing does seem clear - going into hospital is a good way of catching covid.

I think the original diesel engine was designed to run on coal dust :)

Years ago I owned a leasehold maisonette in London. The lease had about 80 years to run and I paid I think £25 ground rent a year to the freeholder. I discovered that the freeholder didn't really exist - I've no idea who actually cashed the cheques, so I stopped paying them. Nothing happened...

Wouldn't it be illegal to make false statements in order to obtain a discount? Obtaining money by false pretenses?

Perhaps because you have criticised others' voting so much we are allowed to questions yours? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones :)

Could we settle the argument please? What proportion of MPs, split by party, have since double vacination came in a) caught Covid b) been treated in hospital for Covid c) died of Covid?

I've read that indemnity policies only pay for the cost of regularising the paperwork, not the actual cost of doing any work that might be found necessary in order to obtain the paperwork.

Is this assumed "security risk" anticipating that a slim and agile burglar (or his child or dwarf assistant ?) might be able to get through the window, or perhaps the risk that an assassin might lob a bomb through? What does this BCO turned security expert advise about the risk that a burglar...

Why is that more memorable than "Spring back fall forward"? Why not just "add an hour in summer"?

The give away in all the enthusiastic blurb about what a smart meter does always begins "It enables YOU to do ....." A basic starting point for smartness is what IT can do for itself, and perhaps tell me afterwards.

The doors might be, but what about the insides and back? If it's just the standard chipboard unit with a wooden door on the front it will fall apart in the damp atmosphere of a garage or shed
