People professing opinions on politics was never going to end well, no matter which party was being championed (or slated) on here. The whole point of living in a democracy with free elections is that we are each entitled to our own view and able to give our opinion, and vote for who we want, unlike in some places in the world, but we have to accept some people will have different views and vote differently too.

The electorate have spoken across the UK and have voted in a majority conservative government. They have also, in Scotland, voted in mainly SNP MPs but are a key country making up the UK and therefore still have a majority Conservative government overall and they will no doubt push their agenda in opposition with other opposition parties too. Most of the north of England voted in Labour MPs, most of the south Consevative, Wales Labour and Northern Ireland DUP and others. Whether you voted for the winning party in each constituency or the country overall, this is the result for all of us across the UK.

Don't be too victorious or disappointed (whether you "won" or "lost") and get on with your lives - all MPs are there to represent all of us no matter their party colours and we can only hope they do this well and make it better for all of us. There are very few easy decisions in politics - we are fortunate so many were willing to step up to the challenge and we as the electorate now have to keep all sides in check and accountable.

Now can we get back to glitches please ...?

Mhoc, when the voucher comes through you have 6 months to use it, not 3.

It is also a weekend night free stay, so Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

I did this back in Jan, was hoping to use it for my holiday in the States but didn't work out that way as my weekend nights were already sorted! :rotfl:

In a way I've kind of wasted it, as I knew I wouldn't be able to use it when we came home as I'm in hospital then will be out of action for months and it will expire.

I've ended up using it at the Hilton at Wembley for me and my daughter, as we are going to a concert. Rack rates for rooms were £339. :eek:

Wouldn't normally stay over, but means we can relax, not have to rush for the train with the crowds, use the health club in the morning and daughter is hoping some of the pop stars stay there! :rotfl:

so this is even better then as its for weekend rooms - I think I had 3 months in my head as its the summer months there are gaps in my calendar.

I am wondering if London hotels are on the list?

I also thought about York Hilton but like you I wondered if it feel like wasting the vouchers - mind you I've seen York travelodges charge £150 for a Saturday night so the Hilton would be even worse.

The other thought I had was doing a transatlantic cruise and using !!!!!! deals to pay for at least half, 2 nights in New York and then cruise back again - I think that one is a bit of a fantasy though

Town foxes that live amongst people in quite densely populated places like London don't have much fear of humans and they end to make themselves a bit of a nuisance.

Rural foxes like ours are very shy skittish creatures and run a mile at the scent or sight of humans

Waitrose free coffee "crack down".....

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3075516/Waitrose-launch-crackdown-free-coffee-offer-customers-start-grabbing-hot-drinks-friends-well.html

Interestingly my nearest waities always has people queuing to register their drink (since last year sometime) but i never do just go through normal checkout

One view: abusing it.

Alternative view (which, as the heretic you know I go for:rotfl:): using it fully and legitimately within the specified terms and conditions of the time which, as usual*, appear not to have been fully thought through.

(*Not necessarily with W, but T DTD price check, A's APG prior to £15 cap that was later removed after finding a 'solution' that then still didn't resolve the original issue in the way intended, then APG now, with the new system.)

This is a problem, btw, with the now current government - and indeed all governments. Unintended consequences. Things do not always go to plan - which, for many of us, will I think give some hope as some policies either fail to achieve their aims and, indeed, end up achieving the precise opposite of what was intended (which, if like me you didn't support the policy in the first place is a very good thing) or, they may be implemented incompletely or, even if they are put into law, may be neither enforced nor fully complied with. In short, on some things - clearly there are cases that will be enforced and will affect people severely and adversely - but on others, it doesn't matter and makes absolutely no jot of difference as the government doesn't have influence in the first place - they may be pulling the lever on the economy, as if it were a lever to open or close level crossing or signalling systems on a rail-track, to allow people (in the public) to pass freely or to be hindered in what they do, but the whole system may be failed to be supplied with energy or electricity and the pulling of the lever therefore made no difference.

For those who lack trust in politicians - including probably a large section of the population that is effectively disenfranchised - and trust may be lacking because of 'broken promises', or a failure to implement policies they said they would do - again, in a way, that's contradictory because people, on the one hand, complain if manifesto promises aren't put into place but, on the other, if the policy is disliked by most people anyway (as a minority voted for the government) then it is a good thing that the policy wasn't implemented! It's nothing new - and nothing about this government or the previous one - I think it's 'always' been the case that only about 16% of manifesto promises are ever implemented anyway. To expect anything else therefore, is unrealistic.

Clearly, a lot of flagship policies will be implemented - I have no doubt we will get the EU referendum, as that was placed central to the campaign, but who knows, when we have forgotten etc., but there's also a lot of rhetoric over reality and things they say they have done they haven't - you can argue that the state still increased under Thatcher for instance (for those that remember that far - are old enough:o:o:rotfl:(:p)) or that there was a lot of, in effect, privatisation under the last Labour government. On the EU referendum, I think most people will know I'm in favour of the EU - I think a lot of people have to be if the domestic government has policies they do not want - our saviour is in the Brussels bureaucrats that stop our domestic government doing all it wants - I'm in favour of the EU but I might vote to come out now, in the hope that it creates problems for Cameron who wants us to stay in:rotfl:.

Really? What you're saying there is the slashing of welfare to the sick and disabled and then demonising them as "work shy scroungers" is OK? The only people this has been OK for are the rich who have been given tax cuts!

Ian Duncan Smith: "pssst, David, I've managed to take 500 million away from the great unwashed, work shy filth. Now to pass on a tax cut to our friends, old bean."

Cameron: "Jolly good old chap, I'll get on to it as a matter of utmost priority. See you in the commons bar later to quaff some champers to celebrate?"
