I would really hope that anyone with the incentive to vote would do so based on something a little more tangible than that.

Which parts do you believe are not true then?

Pretty much summarizes the whole thing: http://www.ukip.org/not_worth_the_paper_the_eu_referendum_deal

Trouble is that the purpose-made blanks on many of the units now seem to fall out if you so much as look at them sideways. Better to have a spare MCB in place than one of those, or - if available for the particular board - perhaps an empty BS1361 fuse carrier. Now the blanks on an old...

It depends what exactly you mean by "checked." Do you mean opened, the details and photo inspected and confirmed to be the person in question, or do you just mean somebody seeing you holding a closed passport as you walk through? I've never been a huge European traveler, but the last time I...

Are you sure it will it be a true bonded line, or just a second line for load distribution? If you mean that your drop wire from the pole is just 2-pair, they'll likely replace it. If you mean that there are actually only two pairs available at the pole itself, then a third ADSL line would...

You'd be more likely to be able to convince them to do a very cheap install if you could agree to a longer service contract. But it depends on the provider,

Section 36 of the original DPA says nothing about whether it's viewing a public area or not, only that it's being used for personal/family reasons. Has there been a revision to the actual legislation following this European judgment? Why? Should every camera - film, digital, video - have to...

Exactly. The process has been going on slowly ever since joining (the treaty even contains that "ever closer union" clause). Why do EU supporters somehow think that it will not continue?

My wife and I have been watching some of the old Granada TV Crown Court stories, and just recently saw one titled "Theft by Necessity" on just this topic: An old man struggling on meager income finds that money has gone astray, and in the meantime he has nothing with which to buy food so takes...

Politics - Poli/y = Many Tics = Blood-sucking parasites I think one of the things on which the majority of people from either side of the political spectrum agree on is that politicians should be held accountable to exactly the same standards as everybody else, and that they seem to think they...

How convenient. Just try doing that with personal claims for income-tax deductions or VAT records and see if that puts an end to an investiagtion......

I was commenting on the overall effect of EU membership rather than the subject of the linked article specifically. The fact is that given enough time, the U.K. will simply cease to exist as an independent nation.

Within the EU, Britain in the future will be totally unrecognizable as the Britain most of us of a slightly older generation grew up in. It's already barely recognizable in many ways.

What are they claiming covers this - The Data Protection Act? If so, then section 36 states quite clearly that data processed purely for personal and family use are exempt.

PlusNet was my ISP for my last few years in England, and I had no major issues. I think about twice the service went out for a couple of hours over a period of 4 to 5 years, but that was down to local BT Wholesale network issues as I was out in the sticks with no LLU, so the outages would have...

Forget about the neon screwdriver, as even with those cables completely disconnected it's liable to light up due to capactive coupling from the single live cable next to them. If the two cables are really just hanging loose behind the board (not terminated into anything) then I would really...

250.104 Bonding of Piping Systems and Exposed Structural Steel. (A) Metal Water Piping. The metal water piping system shall be bonded as required in (A)(1), (A)(2), or (A)(3) of this section. {.....} (1) General. Metal water piping system(s) installed in or attached to a building or...

They are already earthed throughout - The NEC still requires the bonding of internal metallic water systems to ground/supply neutral. And in more minor accidents the belt can actually result in severe damage to the body which without it would not have occurred. And on occasions has resulted in...

I wasn't suggesting that it should. I was pointing out the problem with suggesting that anything which does not meet the current requirements of BS7671 should automatically get an "improvement recommended" code precisely because it would result in such a ridiculous situation.
