I dont know how the contracts for these things work but surely with the massive and constant investment in infrastructure needed for all of the utilities you cant just grab it back from them, hence my comment regarding future profits, the costs of compensating the current owners/shareholders/staff would be enormous. Id also chuck out the example of the railways, we havent properly finished nationalising them and are £44Bn in debt despite a £4Bn subsidy a year. The fact we are even considering tipping £50Bn into HS2 that wont show a return for decades says a lot .......... Wars make money as well, at least they do if you have Rolls Royce, GKN and BAe/Airbus somewhere on your shores ....... I wouldn't pretend to know all the sums around the cost of nationalisation, only someone with intimate knowledge of the commercials could tell you that. The franchises are a commercial shambles, little onus on private industry to invest in infrastructure, due to Network rail being the custodian, yet as soon as there's a delay NR are paying compensation to private companies. Yet despite them not being able to make any money, they can still pay dividends? We're also led to believe that due to a few % increase on corporation tax by Komrade Corbyn all businesses will immediately shut up shop and flee the U.K. to trade in other countries instead. This being the case (apparently!) then it should be easy to hoover up all of the businesses that corporations don't want. Obviously it can't be both unattractive to business and also impossible to pry from their fingers! And let's not pretend there's not countries in both Europe and the Americas that don't have high rates of CT yet are still attractive enough for big business to do them the huge favour of trading there!

I think the some of the nationalistion sums add up more than we're meant to believe, not renewing franchises doesn't cost anything and if we can go 10 years or so without doing a war, who knows what money might be saved? That said, if we're not doing a war somewhere, who are we going to be terrified of? I'm more scared of not having to be scared, isn't that the scariest thing?

He's my favourite bit! If only he was more stable. And stronger. I hate a leader who can't lift big objects and falls over going round corners! Also you need one who's at ease with the people, never hidden away. Comfortable during big time debates, like on the One Show. I got a pre-copy of the Tory manifesto (don't tell the press!) - Forgiengers did it and then ran away. - The other stuff was done by the scroungers, leaving the bankers to pick up the pieces. - Taking from the pockets of nearly everyone, but don't worry, not a privileged few. - Let's not go back to the 1970s, when people could afford to buy homes and the NHS worked. - Red, white and blue Brexit. - Also, do you remember when there were no foreigners?

Looks nice that Wouldn't hurt to lose the icence plate plinth too.

Cracking race today, if the two second drivers at Ferrari and Mercedes can get it together there should be some proper scraps up front this season. Agree about that little lad, though it sends the wrong message getting rewarded for girly tears

along

Is it ok if I post a pic too? Cracking Z, good luck with the sale mate.

Cool vid. I hate to a Zed hit an object

This is an interesting read, not quite the impression I got from our Supreme People's Democratic High Priestess May's words. https://thesecretbarrister.com/2017/05/10/myth-busting-the-tory-election-fraud-a-10-point-guide/amp/

Timing belt went on my Clio 10 years ago, the emergency-join-right-now fisting fee was £75 IIRC, on top of the annual fee.

I rarely do them directly to here, good shout.Tried to view yours and it says there isnt any. Using this tool, do you see the exif data on your original file?http://www.verexif.com/en/ver.php It seems if I upload from the Photos app (either on iOS or macOS) to the forum then it strips the geo info. The only way I could find to actually retain geo data was to send the photo from my phone to my Desktop via iCloud drive, then take that photo and upload it. Eliminating Photos app from the upload process. Then if I upload it, via Safari from my Desktop, the image posted on the forum contains geo data in the EXIF. I can specifically set Photos app on macOS to include location data on export, but I have that turned off by default.

Never thought about this before, except for Facebook tagging. I just checked a sample of mine on photobucket and imgur, nothing there. I did upload a new image to them both from my iPhone, with location services enabled. When I re-downloaded them and checked there was no location data in the EXIF, which was a relief and not to say people should be complacent! Top safety tip

Every now and then I waste a couple of hours cleaning my old man's neglected shed. It has a tough life and is never shown any love. Bird **** sits on the paint for weeks, moss grows around the windows and dents go un-repaired. Today I cracked out the clay mitt (Farecla G3) as I thought it might interesting to see how it gets on with rough paint, suffice to say, I was quite impressed, and slightly deafened.

Nice one G

Got this HU in the BRZ, I really like it, much better interface than my old Pioneer unit.

Don't know if you pay for your current account, but I'm with Barclays and they charge me £19.50 a month for a bunch of strap on benefits. Having worked in finance previously I was super skeptical, I know they make good margins on these. However, I went out looking for other providers for each individual product and I got some quick quotes and found I couldn't get them all for less. Phone Insurance Gadget Insurance (iPad) - £193 pa (combined quote including phone above) Worldwide Family Travel Insurance - £45 pa RA Comprehensive Breakdown (including Europe - £183 pa I've had a replacement phone out of them and two visits from the RAC, no issues actually using any of the services. I should add, I don't have contents insurance, so none of these would be covered elsewhere.

Looks nice mate, takes years off the interior.

Been good to read your progress, and even better that you're happy with the results.

If the sausage rolls go up, that'll be the final straw for me!

Offering her a place to live is very generous and not to be sniffed at. Only you know if the guarantor route is something you want to do, like most things, go with your first reaction. If you're continuing to offer a roof over their head, you've already made an offer that is worth considering, and there's no reason you should feel guilty about not wanting to be financially entangled with them. You're not forcing them on to the street.

Are they? Which post Brexit policy initiative, from any party, would you say is a result of them "listening now"? Well, in so much as, they wish they made a contingency plan for leaving the EU. As it's currently chaos. They thought the public at large would NEVER be brave enough to vote leave. If they'd listened, they'd have made sure they could A) stop a brexit and maintain every last bit of personal income and privileges should Brexit happen. I totally agree that a lack of paying attention to the voters impacted the Brexit result. I just don't agree that absolutely anything is being done differently as a consequence.

Look at the size of that thing!
