I'm one of the brusque ones who start with the recipients name - say what I need to say and end with my name, and contact details where appropriate.

Shame the stewards knew nothing about it :( Brought a couple but as my seat is in the East Stand don't normally wander up to the band stand area.

How much rent are UK Athletics paying for their use of the stadium which has been guaranteed for 50 years? What about the IPC and the IAAF for their meets? Should there be a public enquiry into these as well?

I can't see how you make that assumption! The 'foreign' staff who work in our hospitals pay the same taxes, have the same cost of living, same travel expenses etc. as any 'Brit' who might be capable of doing the same job.

No - it is a legal requirement to prove that you are travelling outside the EU when buying alcohol or tobacco in order to purchase them free of duty.

Pedant alert - VAT isn't charged on water or newspapers :)

And don't forget to deglaze the pan with a little red wine :)

Premier League - A Club’s Stadium must have floodlights giving a maintained vertical illuminance of: K.112.1. an average of at least 1650 lux and a minimum of at least 1000 lux when measured towards the principal camera on the Television Gantry; and K.112.2. an average of at least 1000 lux and a...

The real choice as I see it is to either privatise the track side part of the rail system or nationalise the operational side. The railways have only really been innovative and progressive under private ownership - private ownership that included the tracks, stations, rolling stock etc all...

Pronounced Burry - at least that was how people pronounced it when I lived in Manchester.

The optimist - "Yaaay we're top of the league" The pessimist - "The only game we've won was against the club at the bottom of the league"

Reading that link then between 2009 and 2013 - Number of children cared for increased by 157% Income increased by 77% Costs increased by 72% Staff numbers increased by 114% Payroll increased by 112% So essentially what's being argued is that the charity should have turned children in need of...

Scares the living daylights out of me!!!!!!

That's what the Russians thought - and their's was total all out war but they still couldn't sustain the offensive. I agree that ISIS are trying to take territory whereas the Mujahideen are defending territory. What they do both have in common though is that their manpower can withdraw if need...

Sure they would - just like they have with the Taliban.

Can behave how he likes 'on the field' as far as I'm concerned if 'off it' he behaves like this: - "Earlier in 2014, Ronaldo was contacted by the parents of a 10-month old Spanish boy named Erik Ortiz Cruz who required a brain operation in order to save his life. Erik's parents only asked for...

I haven't really avoided that at all - It's not a solution I've proffered but rather an admission that we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Unfortunately in the long term there really is only one solution and it is one that quite honestly I can't see happening anytime in the near...

How would an exit from the EU help with the current problem? Surely it would make it more difficult. At the moment UK personnel are assisting in trying to prevent migrants from getting on the lorries and trains etc on the French side of the channel. Strict border controls on this side of the...

If that 600,000 figure you quote as the estimate of 'illegal' immigrants were those arriving over a short period then they most certainly would be more than a 'few thousand'. Of course that estimate is just that, an estimate and includes children born in the UK to those without the right to...

Stating an article is "bollocks" without explaining why is easy - isn't what you are actually simply saying is that it doesn't agree with your viewpoint? ???
