  1. I'd say there's an unstoppable tide of change coming, certainly for those that are open to a different approach. Maybe freedom from the shackles of the CAP will provide the policy which will enable and encourage a quantum shift in public thinking. MSM embracing a new way of thinking: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46459714 It's obviously deeply flawed (example: the carbon footprint calc for apples allows for no distinction between those that are internationally imported in comparison to those that are picked from yon own tree or the potential unforeseen consequence - if I have 6 less roasts dinners I'm good for a flight to Malaga) None the less, good to see a groundswell of interest in such topics. I'm about as far as it's possible to get from being a preachy vegan but I can see that 'we' have to seriously address the environmental imbalance and irresponsibility (and the blatant BS propaganda from the likes of the NFU) about the way we are farming and consuming.
  2. She was an entirely consensual TaeKwonDo participant Paul.... (honest guv!) (rather embarrassing that I 'broke' myself against her - in a manner of speaking! ?)
  3. Much obliged Paul! Great Cornwall Branch seminar recently with Mr Barrell as headline speaker! Work as busy as ever but broken toe last Thursday is causing some considerable pain and immobility ? (not to mention embarrassment since it happened whilst kicking a 15 year girl!) Maybe at least I'll have a quieter run in to Christmas this year (but at the expense of having to catch up in the NY (face palm)). New projects on the horizon for the new year which may well give me the kick up the backside to finally start the accreditation process... A few loose ends to tie off first but looking likely!
  4. You are a LEGEND Paul!!! ?????? (I hadn't kept a copy because it was obsolete, but was frustrated by not being able to cross read a foot note from Mynors which referenced it). ??
  5. Has anybody got an e-copy or know of a link to one??
  6. And just for good measure, here's a brief insight into the Cornish Strategic Planning process whilst I ponder if I should attend the East Sub Area Planning Committee tomorrow to listen to the outcome of one of my clients applications which has been called to committee: This might raise a smile Gary @Gary Prentice
  7. Just putting this here.... It's the season of goodwill, so there should be something for all flavours (except the SNP - they can Foxtrot Oscar):
  8. Best approach (across all jobs!)
  9. Best approach (across all jobs!)
  10. Any subsequent referendum (on any issue) will be entirely irrelevant unless the deliverables from the last one are actually delivered. The question was remain or leave. The answer was leave. It really doesn’t get any simpler. UK leaves EU. Anything else is just smoke & mirrors.
  11. You fell into the trap my Stokie friend ? Iffum you’d didn’t care, likum yome says you don’t, youz wouldnay taken the effort to comment.
  12. Not me.... But..... There is increasing discussion, potential and the constitutional mechanism for the Monarch to seek an alternative to the sitting government if they are unable to function effectively. It's been on the discussion circuit for some time but seems to be gathering momentum (for want of a better phrase - there isn't really a better phrase but the use of that word should not be surrendered to the Marxist lunatics.) https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-deal-vote-no-theresa-may-jeremy-corbyn-queen-remain-mps-new-coalition-government-a8655586.html You watching PMQs? How did you get on Friday night??
  13. They were definitely FoS! Good on ya for sticking it to the man! Defies belief that a (so called) professional dealer would make such a gaff, even worse that they should try and mug the customer off as well. I was, initially, just a little confused by your use of the term "underbed" / "overbed" liner but I figured it out ?. I think it's better described as "over rail" / "under rail" as relates to wether it sweeps up & over the rails - or in our case with a canopy fitted, not. ? https://www.truckman.co.uk/pick-up-bed-accessories/load-liners-bedliners/
  14. ??? (@ yourself!) Under different circumstances, I guess it could be newsworthy, but given the sustained, chaotic shambles that is UK politics at the moment - and the abject HORROR of even the thought of the prospect of the potential of HM the Queen having to ask the leader of the opposition to attempt to form a government as a truly terrifying prospect, for example - it rather pales into insignificance. Mehhhh.... On a lighter note, what about bloody Stokies having a beer and kicking off - Northern Monkeys! https://news.sky.com/story/eleven-arrests-after-despicable-violence-at-rare-stoke-vs-port-vale-derby-match-11571967
  15. They'm getting bloody desperate now: https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-top-judge-uk-can-unilaterally-withdraw-article-50/
  16. Watch the first minute Mark (first 30 secs is a topical aside!) ?
  17. I’m not one for mechanical issues, but that sounds odd! Is it like an alarm tone (such as when engaging 4x4) or a mechanical noise? If mechanical, that sounds like something to get sorted without delay.
  18. There was a vid on FB recently doing just that (Stateside if memory serves.) No reason not to - where circumstances permit. Circumstances don’t often permit though.
  19. Like GBBO, you just know there’ll be an old queer, a lesbianism, an ethnic, a student, a DFL and some perky titted totty for Hollywood.
  20. Lambing soon Mull.... I’ll just leave that there as a little teaser...
  21. Saw that in “Travellers Times” or some such publication. Fair play to those that that have taken part ??
  22. ?↗️❓❓
