    Scam ??

    Eh? I use scan & go. So even for a larger shop, it's as straightforward as going to the kiosk (all items already scanned by me), paying and I'm out of there. Probably takes a couple of minutes if that. Rarely do I need to queue for a free kiosk. Meanwhile the queues of folk at the...

    What have you bought today?

    I think the programme and film makers think it makes things more atmospheric. Actors mumbling through their lines at little more than a whisper.

    Budget

    I don't know what everyone's moaning about. Yes we pay a fair bit in tax but come on, that's rewarded with excellent public services and infrastructure. Oh wait ...

    What have you bought today?

    9/10 a half decent separate audio setup will give better sound than built in speakers. However, many tv progs and films do have muffled speech, some of them regardless of the audio setup you run. Ever noticed how most of the time you can hear things fine on most tv ads, and yet you'll watch an...

    May god be with you.

    We have all these religions, they've been around for centuries and more, and yet the world is still a sh1t show with horrific suffering here there everywhere. Funny that ...

    Reform supporters voting against their best interests

    Someone in the audience of QT a few weeks back (or might have been Debate Night) said she had previously worked in the benefits office. She said it wasn't completely unusual to see third generation family members on benefits. As you said, families where the grandparents hadn't worked, nor the...

    Scam ??

    Folk abusing these systems p1sses me off as it could encourage retailers to do away with them. I love self check-out and would hate (and I mean hate) having to start queuing at the check-out again, to have someone chuck my items down the conveyor at 100mph.

    What have you been doing today?

    Jump starting my car. Has sat for a few days, refused to start last night. I've got one of those NOCO battery pack / starter things. Job done.

    Budget

    I suspect quite a few folk would be ok with paying more tax IF it was effectively utilised and resulted in us seeing a tangible improvement in public services, infrastructure etc. The (in my opinion very justified) concern is we could pour more tax into the coffers, however much of it will be...

    Farage In The News

    How DARE you! Salt of the earth is our Nige. He likes nothing more than going into a real working class boozer for a pint. Ok, he might gargle with a nice Bordeaux to remove the taste once he's back in the Bentley, however that's neither here nor there ;)

    why do people support Reform when they have no idea of their policies

    To be fair, lots of people vote for political parties without knowing much, if anything, about their policies. A few years back I was discussing the 'who do you vote for and why?' thing with work colleagues. I vote SNP one said. On asking why, they replied cause my husband votes for them...

    Trumps peace deal

    For whatever reason, Trump never has and never will want to be genuinely tough on Putin. Trump lights up when in the company of some seriously dodgy leaders, wonder what that tells us. Here's a straightforward way to look at it. If it was your country being attacked, would you find such a...

    This is why we will never get rid of hate.

    It could be argued though that the BBC isn't asserting trans milk is as healthy as women's milk, they reporting on a study making the assertion.

    Immigrants, to pass A level English, or out

    I know it's not the same thing, however on a UK game show the other day one of the contestants said she had lived in Spain for eight years. 'Oh, you'll know some Spanish then?' the host asked. 'Emmm, no' was the answer. 'Ah but you'll know some of the basics' the host said 'for example how to...

    The Epstein Files Quandary

    Something definitely stinks about it. Pre being elected he was saying the files would be released day one if he got in. Then, for whatever reason/s, he backtracked on this. What are you all complaining about? We've released the files!!!

    The Epstein Files Quandary

    Even if they advised him accordingly, I doubt he would listen.

    Because they can see the harm its doing.

    I can't argue with some of that. Doesn't mean I agree with everything you assert, however I'd agree there are some truths in your post. However the following isn't exclusive to these groups ;) Then there's the 'culture'. Aggressive, tuneless music celebrating guns, flashy bling, tacky...

    The Epstein Files Quandary

    I still wonder what's happening to these files in the interim. I don't think it's a stretch of the imagination to think some names might disappear from said files before they're released. Trump is evidently in an even worse mood than usual about this. Calling one reporter a 'terrible person'...
