Although we can see our potential, and hope to become a regular mid-table team, or even aim for top 10, I'm sure to 'neutrals' we are perennial strugglers who will spend every season battling against relegation, and as essbee1 says in the previous post, "punching above our weight".

If we pick-up but say nothing, they end the call immediately. If we pick-up and speak, it activates their pre-recorded message. Now, we just refuse to answer at all - as soon as the answer-phone starts ("Please leave a message after the tone"), they end their call. It's still annoying...

I agree, but we can guess what the Government's line or defence will be: "These figures grossly underestimate the extent of the problem There are very few prosecutions because the vast majority of cases of electoral fraud are not being detected precisely because of the absence of Voter...

Although recently, the Tories (and UKIP/Brexit Party) have been increasing their support among the poor, by persuading them that they are poor because of foreigners/immigrants and the EU, rather than because of poverty wages paid by companies which pay their bosses, CEOs and shareholders £ millions.

And probably no longer votes Labour as a result. Increasingly, the (English) working-class vote Tory - 48% of the working class voted Tory in 2019, compared to 33% who still voted Labour. Increasingly, it's the (younger) middle class who now vote Labour, Lib Dem or Green. Meanwhile, pensioners...

I love this thread - it's the first one I open each day when I log-on to NSC :thumbsup:.

Corrected it for you :)

I'm sick of this cold weather now; just can't get warm, even with central heating on. Bathroom is absolutely freezing in the morning, in spite of a radiator and underfloor heating, so getting out of the shower is really unpleasant. Next week, though, daytime temperatures (Celsius) in double...

It was recently announced that the target was for those over 50 to be vaccinated by May, but if we are already starting to vaccinate the over-60s in mid-February, that suggests those in their 50s will be vaccinated well before May, surely?

From last month - very enjoyable :)

Reckon you should be OK - most of the serious snow is supposed to be confined to Kent and East Anglia on Sunday and Monday. Good luck; delighted for you :thumbsup:

Yes, BBC TV forecast at lunchtime said that the areas most likely to have heavy and persistent snow early next week were the extreme south-east - Kent and East Anglia. Further West will probably be scattered snow showers or flurries, rather than it 'flumping' down!

Before Christmas, I was increasingly 'Potter out' due to repeated failure to convert possession into points, failing to defeat the teams below us, our attacks fizzling out on the edge of the opponent's penalty area due to playing one pass or touch too many, our defensive frailties, and Potter...

Me too.

Well, the Express does have form! Every autumn, it predicts a bitterly-cold winter with 4 months of killer Siberian gales and severe blizzards, and then every March, it predicts a record-breaking 'barbecue summer' with 4-months of 'scorchio' weather! However, for the last few days, the Met...
