Legal stuff. Wind farms. Biotech. Sometimes agriculture.
Any industry that has an escalator of "RPI plus X%" or sinilar should have it removed.
All it tells me is that the lawyers who negotiated it were gulled and didn't understand maths.

Well I never.
Not RPI+1%, not RPI, not even CPI, just 0%...

The Chancellor has announced that regulated rail fares will be frozen next year. A huge win for passengers and the economy, and one of our Budget asks!

20 years ago I went to Snows on the Green, Hammersmith twice, two years apart, and the waitress told me correctly where I'd sat and even what I'd eaten the first time.
Fun fact: at the table next to me was a young BBC guy berating his agent for better work. Glad it worked out, Vernon.

Took my sister to my favourite restaurant for dinner. Wanted to see if they'd make a comment at any point then or later that I was with a woman who wasn't my wife. Result: taking the mistress there next week.

Good grief. I just read the worthy replies to this post - full of bright Remainers for whom nothing but ideological purity and a full rejoining would do. All baffled why anyone would choose a halfway house.

Oh, Customs Union again? Based on recent conversations I am pretty sure that any form of greater UK market access to the single market including this will require substantial financial contribution, alignment, and close to freedom of movement. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Lib Dems to force vote on creating new customs union with EU
Ed Davey’s party believes the move is the best way to ‘turbocharge’ economy, rather than tax rises

Such beauty to wake up to on the timeline. I am now old so can say things like "They just don't make cars like this any more". Impractical but I'd love a GS.

The fact that in America there is still a rump of wronguns who are still trying to advance explicitly nazi symbols and dogma (as opposed to the European wronguns who like the policies, yet those that adopt the insignia are largely thought of as weirdos) always surprises.
Last month it was the Young Republicans praising Hitler. Last week it was Fuentes & Carlson criticizing "Jewry". This week, they're saying swastikas and nooses aren't hate speech. The rot is party-wide. www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Terminology time, but surely it can't be a U-turn on a U-turn, as this is an O-turn, or just standing still?

Caught two minutes of the BBC stuff on the news and feel sick at the idea of this pillar falling. Farage and the other cunts chomping at the bit will take the NHS next and we'll be sat listening to Third Reich FM hoping our minor injury infections take us sooner than later.

Glad I have. Now on repeat.

Busy day for the dogfight training over North Yorkshire. I'm in the middle where the Eurofighters come up from Coningsby meet the training jets down from Leeming. Noisy buggers all of them*.
