    [News] Missing submersible.

    I did wonder why it was white, and not in a bright colour, like those used on life rafts to help make it stand out should they ever find themselves adrift on the surface, to help aid any search and rescue efforts. White will potentially only look like a crest of yet another wave

    [Albion] Who has been Brightons best ever transfer signing?

    Mark Beeney? If we never signed him, we'd never have been able to sell him to Leeds for £350k and thus avoided a winding up petition being served in the high courts, due to our debts to the taxman.

    [Politics] Useless PPE fly-tipped. Tons and tons of it

    A lot of PPE has an expiray date, so it's highly likely that date has now been reached, so shouldn't be used / issued anymore One of the main reasons why it couldn't be stockpiled in vast quantities, in advance of any potential pandemic We had PPE purchased for previous pandemic scares, like...

    [Brighton] Hosepipe Ban

    As long as the gardens are not then paved, which stops water soaking into the ground, and also leads to more water heading into the sewage systems to be treated (and we know how poor they are at that and likely to end up with more untreated spills into our waterways)

    [Albion] 2-2

    What has that got to do with whether a lino should flag or not when it is very tight Unless it wasn't very clear, I meant in instances potentially like the lino flags, the ref blows the whistle ruling any play after that whistle dead, however we have a player through on goal, miles away from...

    [Albion] Europa League - confirmed / unconfirmed teams ....

    think it's actually the number of times over that each seat in the ground could have been sold, for each of the upcoming games That or how much the ticket touts will be charging us for each ticket

    [Albion] 2-2

    Seeing as we've had perfectly good goals ruled out by the offslide flag in recent seasons, i'm glad they don't flag anymore and leave it to VAR to review and decide. Didn't we have a potential goal of the season candidate wrongly ruled out last season due to an incorrect offside flag?

    [Albion] 2-2

    I thought goal, but was hoping that VAR would look back at that very challenge and rule it out. I didn't really see what happened in that incident, so was basing that hope more on the player reaction after the challenge, and the post goal protests to the ref, rather than anything i'd seen...

    [News] Water companies an apology of sorts.

    How knowledgable were you about the assets and infrastructure that all of the water companies then inherited, before they were sold off? and how knowledgable are you about them all now? including things like all the pipes and so on that are buried in the ground, and not just the big works...

    [News] Water companies an apology of sorts.

    Even after a change of ownership and have no connection to those who were responsible for that historic action that led to the fine? and the new owners, etc in place now are taking the issue very seriously, are trying to resolve it (but are realistic about the challenge they face in achieving...

    [News] Water companies an apology of sorts.

    The current owners of some of these companies - including Southern and Thames - have been going without dividends for some time now. Those owners, in the case of Thames, include tens of thousands of university lecturers whose pension scheme, USS, owns nearly a fifth of the company. How many of...

    [News] Water companies an apology of sorts.

    As the 1st article i posted stated https://news.sky.com/story/why-addressing-sewage-spills-was-not-a-priority-for-the-water-industry-or-for-ofwat-12883677 There was only a finite amount of funding available to be spent, and OFWAT priorised other areas of the water industry that were just as in...

    [News] Water companies an apology of sorts.

    No, public run services would never try to manipulate the system and hide dodgy practices, misleasing the public because it is all perfect and it is something that can only happen in the private sector.... oh wait South east Coast Ambulane 999 scandal...

    [News] Water companies an apology of sorts.

    I'm sorry or have you forgotten that the issue of dumping raw sewage predates privatisation, that many rivers in this country were devoid of life since the inductrial revolution but have seen wildlife return, thanks to the efforts of water companies since privatisation...
