Re: Coronavirus

According to the RAC who I believe know a thing about these things, the highway code is not actually law. But you must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of it to pass the driving test. And if you drive a vehicle without having passed that test (unless being trained, of course), you have broke...

Re: Coronavirus

The majority of RTCs in the UK are caused by driving too fast. Not to be confused with speeding, as you ca be within the speed limit - within the rulea - and still cause an accident due ro inappropriate use of speed. So no, not usually. Highway Code Rule 146: Rule 146 Adapt your driving to the appr...

I meant the other half of the couples, the ones that you say didn't have it.
They may have had Covid-19, but not had symptoms.

Usually because someone hasn't followed the rules or systems, or a catastrophic mechanical failure that couldn't be foreseen.

Re: Coronavirus

There is a higher chance of being involved in a car accident on the way to the grand parents or vice versa. From 2019 153,315 casualties of all severities in reported road traffic accidents, a decrease of 5% compared to 2018 https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casualties-great-br...

I always thought a corn dog was just a battered sausage, same as from the chip shop?

The plot thickens. Posted on the village FB group, and another fella (who is local) said he had his tyre slashed last week, just round the corner from us.

Re: Little things that irritate you

'Train' Station Railway Station please. Or just 'station'. Anything else (bus station, petrol station) gets a qualifier. Went out to wash the car about 2 o'clock. Found the back window smashed, two big holes. Had a chat with some of the neighbours, and it seems it was done between about 8.30 and 11...

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-2024

£10,000 fine if you don't self-isolate after a positive test. Can't be fined for not self-isolating after a positive test, if you can't get a test. So you don't get a test, you don't self-isolate, you don't get fined, but you do spread Covid-19 all over the place. There's Boris Johnson's logic for y...

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath

:lol: Please a survey of just over 1000 people from pro-remain media. I am convinced. The BBC poll is from last year. How about a real poll where people, across the country, have to mark on a piece of paper their choice. Like the one last year where 54.3% of those that voted didn't vote for the Con...

Re: Brexit referendum result aftermath

They took advantage of the UK's parliamentary situation at the time - but that's changed, and if the EU don't like it, well - hard cheese. The WA was negotiated by this Prime Minister, this Parliament was elected on the 'strength' of it, and this Parliament passed it. If the parliamentary situation...

Don't know what the problem is...it's not like there's any issues at the moment with getting a Covid test is there?... It's not really suitable as a lorry park either.

They'll do no such thing. This isn't the 80s and 90s and organisations like that won't last five minutes in modern times. They have neither the clout, the numbers nor the backing of the population of N.I. to carry out a campaign in any way resembling the IRA's atrocities of the 70s, 80s and 90s. My...

Or they could offer a trade deal like they have to other non-EU members. Like Canada. There seems to be a perception that whatever the EU press release states is gospel. But Canada doesn't have a land border with the EU, and more specifically, a land border that somehow needs to remain as open as p...

And with that argument any credibility you have has just left the station. Check out any of hundreds of sources on the death tolls in China or Iran for example, and then look at the numbers on your John Hopkins list. The thing is, we actually seem to be of a similar mindset. You seem to be in favou...

Just picking up another of your examples. Your claim is based on you accepting official figures. I assume you believe all government releases from Russia to Iran as well.
