  • I think what he is saying is that people should pay more if they are obese. Difficult to operate but not that unreasonable.


    So a fat tax then, rather than a cost related to the resources (fuel) you are using. Sounds about as unfair as the current set up.

    It's only a game

    This weeks crisis is eldest childs BF birthday which is actually in March but I am seeing eldest child next week :j so in theory I could give her his card and present.

    except I have not got a present yet so any suggestions would be helpful. I am desperate as always

    last year I got a beautiful Marks scarf with mohair. I think it was acceptable but I never heard anything back. The previous year it was some posh mens toiletries (I won these :) ) and a jelly bean set.

    I did think of getting them Art Passes but I got Time out membership for eldest child at Christmas so its a bit samey

    They are going to Milan in March if that is of any help. I know they have tickets to an Art Gallery so I have asked her what the name of it is.

    I wish I'd got the posh mens socks in a box that John Lewis had in the sale after Christmas now but I didn't

    Good morning all, happy Tuesday.

    But surely people weighing 20 stone use more fuel than people weighing 10 stone.

    Anyway, I am not getting drawn into the argument you obviously want.

    They should put a new cable in from exchange to connection box, but in practice that would be very difficult as they do not futureproof installations. Anyone else would install conduit under the ground to make it easier to replace cables when they age. BT do not install conduit so it makes it harder to replace the cable, They would not have to dig up the street if conduit was in place.

    Connecting new to old will not affect the outcome so long as they determine where the fault is first.

    I think that is what they have been doing for the last 2 weeks, deciding exactly where the fault is and only yesterday did they give an update and the work is due to be done on Friday.

    Our actual exchange cabinet is in a village 3 miles away - I have no idea why

    in the olden days people were actually weighed before they boarded so they could get the amount of fuel right

    Sky is absolute sh** , I get speeds ranging from 16mbps to 0.05mbps. It constantly drops out between 12am and 2am so usually in the middle of films or while i'm on the Xbox/PS4.

    When we paid £93 a month it was fine but ever since we got the deal for £5.95 for the year it's been c@ck.

    Maybe work out the times it's not very good and avoid going online then:o:o
