I understood that the £400 would be paid into my account in six batches of £66/£67, separately from any payments and caps connected with our fuel bills.

You're wrong about the self-loathing of England. I don't personally know anyone who loathes the country - I certainly don't - but I do know many who loathe the clique running it and what they are trying to do to it. For most of us, our loathing is driven by a love of country. Boris and...

Complete support for that.

One of those two was a close family member. Vividly remembered.

Goodness, they were that young?

I half agree with you. There's nothing abominable about saying skedule, alooominium or Ker-RIBB-ian (and I have heard it said that skedule has more etymological validity than schedule). Skedule is the American pronunciation though and a Briton who uses it instead of shedule either doesn't...

I enjoy decorating, and always took the view that the modest cost of emulsion made it the best-value transformation of a room it was possible to have. But then, the other day, looking at the rows of less-than-full tins of F&B on the garage shelves I realised that it had cost me over £600 to put...

I haven't read the whole thread and apologies if this has already been raised but I sent the message below to the club yesterday and wondered if anyone had the answer. Good morning My wife and I are about to download our season tickets to our mobiles but I do have one query. The email...

That's an interesting point. If their regs refer only to 'parking' and their CCTV covers only the entrance then she would surely have a case. And so, come to think about it, would absolutely everyone else.

She would have been at the top of my shortlist for sure, although would her housekeeping principles would have allowed largesse such as the furlough scheme and other initiatives?

I know that this is slightly off-topic but the one thing that I think would transform electric transport would be a system that would allow downloaded electricity to be charged to the owner of the charger rather than the owner of the socket. Setting up commercial charging stations would be far...

Every Wednesday at noon I am in the car and switch to Radio 5, and every Wednesday at 12.30 I abandon the station in despair. The opening question this week, about the arrangements for freedom day, was from a Labour backbencher. It was of medium length and quite concise. Johnson's reply came...

Who are you?

@GaryLineker If you’re lucky enough to get a ticket for the final, please, please don’t boo the Italian anthem. A/ It’s an absolute belter and worth listening to. B/ It’s bloody rude, disrespectful and utterly classless. I'm with Gary.

Thank you. I would have no problem either. (My self-consolation at a dismal defeat is always to tell myself that at least it's made some people happy.) Anyway, I've had plenty of moments of my own. The rights and wrongs of joyful celebration wasn't my point though. I'd prattle on but I've...

So you use your conversations with a number of people who say they recall that nothing very much happened in the crowd at a match a quarter of a century ago as evidence that I am lying. Nothing to stop you doing that of course - all I can say is that I describe it as it was. Nothing added, a...

I've stayed out of this thread as I stay out of most like it. But this post nails it for me. People don't choose their nationality. Twenty five years ago I was at Wembley for the Netherlands 4-1 game - glorious victory but the sight of thousands of England fans - including dads geeing on...

Look cheap to me. Not really cheap like Grimsby but still.

Goodness. I've got to ask: why Grimsby?
