    Am I the only one who cannot understand how a magnet could possibly make something that rotates go slower or even backwards? Would somebody please explain? At the moment I think it's a wind-up (no pun intended) but I'm open to a scientific explanation.

    i don't want to sound racist, but my brother in law is from another part of the world and apparently it is very common over there

    Your BIL is a THIEF and you are as bad as him if you know about this and do nothing about it.

    I am disgusted that people think it is right to steal.

    There are thousands and thousands of people struggling just now but the majority of them are honest people.

    What makes you think your BIL is so different, and don't give me the sob story of you care for your sister and niece.

    Your BIL and sister deserve what is coming to them.

    i have only just found out and because it is personal i cant see it as cut and dry as eveyone else here can. not saying that stealing is right at all.

    The police will be more likely to give you a fixed penalty notice for making a malicious report .
    Move on. live your own life.

    i know, but i thought we had progressed as a nation since cutting off an arm for a starving person stealing food.

    Starving my backside !
    He has credit cards according to you so presumably has some income be it wages or benefits. If he chooses to pee it away in one of the many pubs in Rochester High Street and then make up the shortfall thieving then when he's caught there will be consequences. Hardly rocket science.

    i didnt say brother in law was starving but i know money is very tight. his hours have been cut drastically and sister is still on maternity leave and the money from that keeps going down. they are certainly not wasting any money - have not been abroad this year at all.
