As above. You could try adding some water saving crystals into the hanging basket soil next year. That'll help.

On the mundane level of actual shopping - I don't rate the Aldi trolleys: they've got no hook on which to hang your bags.

How long do they take to get from egg to full sized chicken?

We had to deliver a pissed up mate of ours to A&E once in a Sainsbury's trolley. (With claimed broken ankle, believed by no-one else). They laughed us away at the entrance.

It's the double standards thing again. Plus the trying, but failing, to pass off BS as fact. (By ranting it rabidly, repetitively and rancourously).

What I notice is that, regardless of political ideology, it is always possible to find at least some common ground with anybody else on here. As I believe you have found out. With the notable exception of said person, who always seems strongly averse to admitting any kind of common ground whatsoever with anyone he holds a grudge against. I'd even go as far as to say that he deliberately seeks to stoke division and bad feeling at any given opportunity. It comes across as the sole raison d'etre in fact. As for anonymity, who cares? I don't, that's for sure. I may be wrong but I don't believe most people on here do. It makes no difference in the grand scheme of things. If people want to maintain it then fair enough. On the other hand, if people want to share lots of details on stuff like their hourly rate/income tax level/tastiness of their day rate then that's also fair enough. You I think, don't wish to share your name, that's fine.

Edinburgh, Tenement, Top floor flat - immediately makes me think of the film Shallow Grave. OP - dehumidifier is probably the way to go.

Done. Good shout mate. A friend of mine at work arranged to have a representative come in to give us a talk about their work a couple of years back. They deserve and need all the pennies they can get.

Loose ends Blagger. You don't have a leg to stand on, again. Is the NHS failing because of illegal immigrants? Yes or No. For such a rabid advocate of straight talking you've gone uncharacteristically as coy as a Carp, so I think you must have seen sense after all. I could keep asking this question for months, and months, and months.............. and maybe years, until everyone is bored witless. I fear I'd look like a proper nutjob lunatic though.

Yeah, Starmer hasn't a clue. Trying to be all things to all people ain't working. To be fair though, the Great British Energy idea is a good one. If it can be made to work. Energy independence, sovereignty over our energy infrastructure has to be a priority. It's Critical Infrastructure just like water. Why the hell have we let French, Chinese, Russian, and who knows what other countries companies control it? No wonder prices have gone crazy.

I know, you could see how quickly he pounced on just the mere mention of CTs. Takes us back to the good old days it does. I'm down in Cornwall; I'll make enquiries about the feasibility of reopening a few mines, in anticipation of increasing demand.

Shssss, don't mention Conspiracy Theories! It's a touchy subject with the Tin Hatter on here.

And therein lies the problem. We need a government with gumption, a government with balls and teeth. We've not had one of them for years. I'll try my hand at most things, but I'll draw the line at managing the countries financies. Happy to trust you with my tax if you fancy yourself though! I'll give you a two years trial period to produce some improvements.

I appreciated it, thanks. It was one of the four new words for me. I looked up the first couple but couldn't be bothered there after.

It's an adrenaline addiction I think with most of them. Just the same as any other addiction. If I was that way inclined I'd choose to go jumping off a mountain or something, instead of on the end of a needle in some filthy squalid drug den. Thankfully I'm not that way inclined.

Of course they aren't. It'll involve some pain unfortunately. Of the tax variety probably, as Stephen P noted above. Got to be worth it though. Personally I far rather pay more tax for a decent water supply and clean rivers and seas. Better than paying over the odds for some foreign owned bloodsucking scumbag company to dump shit in our rivers and seas and piss the clean water away into the ground with leaks. Alternatively, maybe the government could stop wasting money on expensive crap like HS2 and fcking AI data centres. Whilst simultaneously having the courage to tax the disgustingly rich elites and American big tech firms.

Wordle 1,490 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟨 🟨🟩⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 WTF was that?! Four words I've never even heard of.

Whilst I take a break from today's particularly grueling Wordle.............. Obviously that would happen if we sold it to another private company, they're parasites as you say. I wasn't suggesting that though. Critical infrastructure is just that, critical. We shouldn't be letting bloodsuckers anywhere near it. If other more civilised countries can make it work why can't we? Top 10 countries where public ownership is totally normal | We Own It WEOWNIT.ORG.UK Public ownership is flourishing across Europe!

Tax rises to pay for nationalising wouldn't be met with my tears certainly. That's the kind of stuff we pay tax for, there's scarcely anything more important to life than water. If it works for Holland there's no reason it shouldn't work for us.

Yep. Disgraceful. We leak and lose 19%, in Holland they only lose 4%. ""One of the results of this asset-stripping model is that leakage rates remain disgracefully high. While the hosepipe bans now being introduced around the nation are likely to save between 3% and 7% of the water we would otherwise use, 19% of the water piped through the network is lost through leakage. Compare this with the publicly owned Dutch system, which loses 4%. For the same reason, no major reservoir has been completed here since 1992.""

High water bills, filthy rivers – and now drought. This is England’s great artificial water crisis of 2025 | George Monbiot | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM In its refusal to nationalise water, it’s clear the government operates in the interests of private capital and not of the country... Not much to disagree with there. (Other than the author maybe). We've been stitched up like kippers by these water companies. And still Labour refuse to nationalise critical infrastructure.
