    [Politics] A manager uses an inappopriate adjective. Thoughts?

    Holocaust is a noun, not an adjective...we all get things a little bit wrong from time to time.:) I suspect that the manager in question didn't really mean to say "holocaust" but was reaching for another word as it doesn't really make sense otherwise. Horrorshow perhaps?

    [Help] Spreading butter and margarine.

    There was a proposal using this scientific law alongside the law that cats always land on their feet to create a perpetual motion machine. Theoretically if you strap correctly positioned buttered toast to a cat, as the cat approaches the floor it will start to spin.

    [Technology] Solar Together Sussex

    With the feed in tariff and the saving, your net gain is £280.00/year so over the 25 year life of the system you will have a net gain of £7,000. Of course if you put £4,000 in the bank for 25 years you would probably make more but at the same time, energy may become more expensive (but with the...

    [Technology] Solar Together Sussex

    Mine is a "personal recommendation" rather than an actual quote and there is no option for 3.2 or 6.4, just 3, 6 and 9. Perhaps we are looking at different things?

    [Technology] Solar Together Sussex

    I have received my quote and looks fairly good. I too will have a look around at other options but I am tempted to get this done as I suspect that the demand for solar panel installation will go through the roof (hopefully not literally) over the next year. Quote for adding a 6kWh battery is...

    [Food] Restaurant thread 2021

    Chichester is really limited when it comes to nice restaurants, most of the best places are a few miles outside. In Chichester itself the only "fine dining" option is Purchases. I haven't eaten there as the menu looks a bit of a mish-mash with assorted foams, gels and emulsions but it gets very...

    [Politics] Conservative MP Sir David Amess murdered

    I am stunned and sickened. I am also saddened. David Amess was an MP - like most MPs - who worked hard to make the world a better place. His idea of a better place might well differ to some but he seemed sincere in his beliefs. The level of vitiriol towards and scorn for our elected...

    [Finance] .......For those of you with offspring either at or planning to attend University

    As well as tuition fees, your youngest will be entitled to a means tested maintenance loan. How much will depend on your circumstances and will get rolled up into the total loan which includes tuition I have two children currently at uni, they get the smallest maintenance loans available so I...

    [Technology] Some early deals on Amazon devices

    Agreed. And so if you record the comings and goings of your next door neighbour, I think that would be subject to the GDPR.

    [Technology] Some early deals on Amazon devices

    As I said, I'm not an expert, but this suggests otherwise: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-cctv-using-cctv-systems-on-your-property/domestic-cctv-using-cctv-systems-on-your-property particularly 3.4 and 3.6 which states: Once you have installed your CCTV system, you should...

    [Technology] Some early deals on Amazon devices

    I'm not an expert but... Yes, I believe that you could request everything that I had stored of you; recorded CCTV images from outside my own property are subject to GDPR. I would also need to ensure that any recordings that I handed over to you did not contain recognisable images of anyone else...

    [Technology] Some early deals on Amazon devices

    A more balanced report here: https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/13/amazon_ring_audio_recording_data_protection/ Seems the main problems were the number of cameras, the lies about the cameras and the lies about the reason for the cameras, the audio and the weird behaviour which amounted to...

    Or perhaps because they are still in the single market. They also haven't had any problems getting CO2.

    [Football] Relegation Odds 21/22 Season

    Bookies are largely unconcerned about the actual probability of the outcome of the match, they are interested in having a balanced book so that they make money whatever the outcome. What they are interested in is what their customers think the outcome of the match will be. For example: if Man...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Swansea City *** Official Match Thread ***

    I suspect that he is much more likely to play on Monday having only played 45 minutes today than if he had played 90.

    [Albion] Pitch side Cam vs Leicester

    It's annoying that even the club highlights say, "VAR denies Foxes". The lino denied Leicester and VAR didn't over-rule. If there had been no VAR we would still have won. Grrrrr.

    [Travel] Driving from London tomorrow

    Should be no trouble. The route goes through Ardingly, Haywards Heath, Ditchling so doesn't affect the A23 or the A27 at all.
