Only the other day, I was in the pub explaining how an acre can be easily defined as an area that is a furlong in length and a chain in width. Seems straightforward enough to me. By comparison, a hectare is 10,000 square metres. How is anyone supposed to make sense of that! These Eurocrats. Give them an inch and they take 2.54cm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 That’s remarkable that smoking in pubs and restaurants is only 11%. I wonder if it was just “smoking in pubs” how high the figure would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traditional incandescent bulbs is a surprise - I thought it would be gaslight or candles given the average age of the fuckers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH75 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 30% of people want to return to incandescent light bulbs? For what possible reason? It's a fucking light bulb. I can see the (misguided) reasoning for the rest of the things but I can think of literally no benefit to those light bulbs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's retired and lives on a narrowboat so he probably thinks he's immune. Reading about the American Civil War, there were numerous people who were keen on the idea because they thought it might liven things up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more remarkable - the EU didn't ban smoking in pubs, we did, and we went decimal years before we joined the EEC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 20 hours ago, cyderspaceman said: Nope. Here's a thing, for all those pri cks shouting for no deal and WTO rules. "There is only one country in the world which trades solely under WTO rules. Mauritania. For those not familiar with Mauritania, its GDP is under 5 billion dollars, (0.2% of the UK's) 50% of its exports consist of iron ore and slavery still exists." Leavers wish to emulate this. I don't. Not sure where the quote comes from but it is not correct. Mauritania has a fisheries agreement with the EU so therefore they do not only trade on WTO terms. Then again, neither would the UK for as soon as it made a single trade agreement (even just for a single product) it would fall outside of this very narrow definition. The bottom line is that all nations use the WTO terms somewhere, no nation uses them everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Sky news giving coverage of Sturgeon’s interview after her meeting with May; BBC completely rubbering it.

The audience look like they would happily accept the introduction of serfdom if Mogg suggested it. That's precisely where some of us might be headed. Rees Moggs family money through the generations comes from their mine-owning interests in the former Somerset Coalfield. There's a story somewhere about a young assistant to a government minister during the General Strike of 1926, which began with 1.2 million miners being locked out for refusing to accept wage cuts. After a fractious meeting with union leaders...., the assistant said to the minister... " What horrible, loud people....". Which brought the reply... " You haven't met the mine owners yet.".
