I've got the Met Office update now and have done likewise. If they have to have all these 'partners' at least they've made it easy to reject them all. I'd guess that it's their app developer that has put them in as part of their contract.

I've had the beta app for a while but I'm going to look into this. It looks like a deal breaker to me.

Someone should gift Trump a globe on a golden stand. He'd put it on his desk to show off the gold and then someone could point out a few geographical facts.

Plenty of seed catalogues online. You'll see all the different varieties available.
(I'm not suggesting that you grow them, although why not? Aubergine/egg plants are not large.)

By that argument we should all be allowed to buy guns because it's not guns that cause gun crime, it's individual users.
Yes, it's not an original argument and is just as stupid as the X/Grok one.

Two possibilities here:
a) He doesn't know what he's talking about, in which case he shouldn't be presenting it as fact to the distressingly large number of people that believe him.

As kids we* used to be enthralled by ghost stories, things that went bump in the night and so on. Atavistic fears of the unknown. It's easy for dishonest politicians and journalists to extend this to foreigners and people who don't look like us.

I believe these parakeets are native to sub Himalayan areas that can get colder than England (maybe not Scotland) and like nesting in holes in trees. They do just fine in our winters.
