I'm sure the women want to be changed early so they can warm up, just like the men do. An hour would be a good way short of long enough for the men to shower and change, the changing room to be cleaned up, and the women to change ready for pre-match warmup.

The Johnson policy was to introduce it in central London where public transport goes everywhere. Expanding it to the suburbs where public transport is more patchy, is more of a problem. The other issue of course is the tiny signs as mentioned in the OP, which if you don't see them means a £180...

With the state of modern pitches, it looks no different after a game than it did before. The pitch shouldn't be a problem.

We aren't all blessed with your encyclopaedic memory of every word printed on every thread. My apologies if I missed a line on here somewhere, and to answer the question, no I am not going to re-read the whole thread to see where it was.

To close someone's bank account is a very powerful tool, and the banks have links with each other so once one account is closed it can be hard to get a replacement. Farage would be able to cope because he's rich enough, but what about when someone less well off has no bank account? They don't...

But should he have? What you're saying is that if your local water board decides they're sick of Just Stop Oil, they can refuse to supply water to the people involved. Is that really true? The point is if there is a line at which the supplier can refuse to sell something because they don't...

It might be pointed out that, as well as 7 times failing to get elected to the House of Commons, he did twice lead the party that got the highest votes in a national election. European Parliament elections, not domestic, but twice they topped the poll.

Even that is contradictory. In November 2022 he was within criteria limits, and in March they say he had been outside criteria limits for "some time". And then they stsart their 40 page farrago of criticism of various viewpoints that Coutts don't like, including (oddly) the view that...

The 36 page report from Coutts specifically says that he meets the bank's commercial criteria for having an account.

There are certain jobs with a golden rule where you do not discuss clients' affairs. Accountancy, legal, banking are all covered. If you discuss clients' affairs with anyone, not just a journalist, then you can expect to be sacked. The automatic repsonse when someone talks about a client is to...

Not to mention that if you buy a new car for over £40k, you've paid at least £6,666 VAT.

Don't they look more like an Argentinian Racing Pigeon? :unsure:

If it was Alison Rose (CEO of NatWest group) who was the leak, then Simon Jack may have felt the source was unimpeachable! And if it was her, then the obvious next question is did she know she was lying, or had she been fed duff gen from below?

It's one of the hard-to-reconcile contradictions, isn't it? Go on the cost of living threads, and there is loads of sympathy for the poor (about a third of the population), many of whom resort to food banks. But when the environment is concerned, many of the solutions involve putting prices up...

Here's another question. Since Jack has been sold down the river by his source who told him a pack of lies, does that mean he has any obligation to protect his source? It seems he has been used as a tool (perhaps in both senses of the word) by someone at the bank trying to protect his or her...

I don't think anyone's arguing that "dickhead driving" shouldn't get a harsher punishment. That's what the OP is on about and with no dissent. The question has morphed largely into a discussion about whether there should be extra restrictions on normal, legal driving, and that's the question...

I'm flattered if you thought I was a doctor. Not so. I may have picked up bits and bobs of general knowledge here and there, but it's very far from comprehensive. Does botox or other stuff have no long term effect at all? I've seen pictures of people who have had repeated procedures to try...

It's different because piercings and hairstyles are both temporary and will grow out without medical intervention. Botox or lip fillers, like tattoos, have a permanent effect. Most people have fashion disasters in their youth, but it's a relatively new idea to make those fashion statements...

I'm sure there are good reasons not to mourn the avoidable death of a hypothetical baby, but it's too soon (yet) to develop compassion fatigue because of the unnamed 12,000. The milder weather in winter means that the number of deaths caused by cold has decreased by more than the increased...

No, and therefore no. I'm not sure I'd want it, anyway. I want to have to think while I'm driving because not thinking tends to send me to sleep. (And no, I have never nodded off while driving, though it's far from unknown for me to stop for 5 minutes' snooze.)
