No human interaction can be a good thing in some shops though!!!!
It can...but not often !
I went to the Post Office to pick a parcel up today...really rude assistant behind the counter...gave me a dirty look before she even spoke...and then dealt with me as though to serve me was beneath me...fair enough...but no idea why she gave me BS ! I pulled her up on it, took my parcel and left...
I always enjoy Hugh Dennis, especially when he's with Steve Punt. They do "The Now Show" on radio together, but I haven't seen Punt on TV in some time.
So long as Jeremy Hardy doesn't get it. I do like him as
A panelist but his voice is very " Down" for a host. It will
Be sad to see Sandi go. A very funny and intelligent lady. -{
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
There are some shops I love using those machines in, and others that I studiously avoid. Depends on the product and the packing. There's nothing worse than scanning your things and paying for them in 30 seconds and then being glared at angrily when it takes you 10 minutes to pack them!

I see the commies in charge of Islington council in North London ,are going to impose a tax/levy/fine ,call it what you will on residents cars ,that are diesel ? due to the beardy sandal hand wringing twits saying it causes pollution ,
well I guess that they wont want the police and the fire brigade and refuse collection trucks driving through their red borough then ?
having been persuaded by the powers that be to switch from petrol to diesel ,now the powers that be are going to impose a£100 tax on residents that own diesel cars , The govt should step in and tell Islington council to P*ss off back to Moscow
Yes, I remember all the advice to buy diesel cars ( had one myself) infact the
Price was meant to be kept lower than petrol. Just another example of " Hit the
Motorist for money" .
For instance how many self employed people have diesel vans etc to earn their
Living.

err all of them ,yet Mr Jeremy Clarkson ,once said ,that on the new BMW 5 diesel turbo ,the air that came out of the exhaust pipe
was cleaner than the air going into the air filter 8-) ,but that could be just Jezzer stretching the truth a tad
By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

Isn't this a Conservative policy ? From Boris ? I'm sure he wants this to come in....

That, or perhaps it's just a question of science? Back when the authorities were informed by the scientists that diesel was better for the envirorment. Recent testing has showed that diesel is in fact worse for the envirorment locally. The government taxed the motorists for mony long before most people cared about the envirorment. If taxation can be used to change the motorists into behaviour that's better for the envirorment, it's a good thing. In Norway taxation and other measures have been used to back electrical cars. As a result sales for eletrical cars is among the highest in the world. In the future carmakers will offer other solutions that are even better (hydrogen) and the government will shift the backing from eletrical to better tecnology. I understand this is a problem for people who bought dielsel cars, but it's good for society as a whole.
For me the problem is how selective the government is in its Health ideas.
Fast food has lead to a rise in obesity, yet. No extra tax or payment from the
Restaurants is required or sought. ( have to keep those multinational companies
Happy). Alcohol, also has huge health problems, yet the government has not brought
In a minimum price for it ( as the drinks companies are big donors to the conservative
Party).
Whereas individual motorists, have no power to fight back, are an easy target. So get
Hit, time and time again with extra taxes and fines.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
electric cars do sound good on paper ,and im sure by 2500 ad every one will have one ,and the battery will be as big as a matchbox,
But at the moment ,we have to set fire to a big pile of coal ,boil up thousands of gallons of drinking water mturn the water into steam ,which in turn spins a dynamo ,thus producing electricity , or we could just over heat a pile of radioactive stuff ,and boil the water that way . And when weve finished with the radioactive stuff ,the only safe place to store its by products is on the moon
(some of us oldies remember space 1999 ) So electricity isn't that clean , and we keep being told that any winter now ,the lights will go out ,to a lack of ,yes electricity ,so wheres all these cars going to get charged up ?? its all a big con ,to tax us petrol heads even more .I think the old foreign aid coffers are running low ,and we don't have enough cash to give to India ,so they can put another rocket in space , X-(
Gutted about what happened yesterday in Charleston, NC.
What really drives me mad are officials on cameras saying" it was the deed of a crazy man" and so on.
This may be right, but the bigger beef to me is weapons!!
I cringe when I see people here showing off with their penis-replacements called guns and tell us how cool it is to empty a round or two.
I am speechless that in the US, all initiatives to limit or ban private ownership have been without success. President Obama was subject of immense flak when he started an initiative 2 years ago
- just because the majority of US citizens want to keep their toys
- The NRA is so influencial that they almost rule the country.
Nobody dares to ask, why it was so easy for a 21 year old to het access to a firearm which kills people like it did yesterday. The weapons lobby ride on the constitutional right of US citizens to own and use guns.
These people are not protecting anyone but their own business!
And I am gutted to see a great country with great people being divided because some people with financial interests are setting people against each other with a hate, which is not seen anywhere else in the world - just to keep their own business running. Koch brothers - I am speaking about you!
Everytime that I see a firearm, I am getting angry, upset and scared and the only way that US individuals may change their view is when one of their loved ones gets killed by one.
