London is fairly affordable outside the centre. Spends where you are.

And their thousands of employees in Poland, plus the farmers around Suwałki who sell to them. A longstanding British company too.


100x. He forgets that some of us have spent time in bot(.


Not really for cigs unless it's some dodgy internet thing. Where I am when I'm in England, if you ask for cigs at a small shop, they give you ones with a wonky typeface on the packet for about a quarter of the normal price.

More likely because it's cool compared to most of the MENA region and family friendly.

They don't have a strong smell and in any case are out in the desert chewing bushes.

Quite.

Booting just means to kick or to kick out, depending on context.

It's rare though. To give someone the boot is more normal, though there's no implication of boot prints.

I don't know if anyone voted on that issue, however the 'war on drugs' that conservative and puritanical elements in America pushed and tried to persuade others to take part in failed wretchedly.


I think I dated him once.

Practical policy. Its impact is small, it costs nothing, it helps to ease ongestion and it rewards users of greener transport.


Sadly, we've had 14 years of Tory hell. There's a lot of libertarian fantasy that needs repairing.

There's a good system there that some cities have introduced to reduce congestion; on certain roads, a lane is reserved for cars with two or more people in. That works, however the trend towards working at home may change that.

Travel / Road traffic - Emergency lane use [23]


Why would we do that? Did medieval peasants have electric cars and first class publicly owned public transport?


Giving an incentive for clean cars and taking some traffic off the ordinary lane is a good policy.

Love / Polish - Pakistani relationship. How it works in reality? Are Pakistanis a good men? [85]


That suggests a serious issue with the mother who isn't mentioned much and has a right to privacy.

She should never have slipped through the net however that's what happens when you have hardly any Social Workers or Educational Welfare Officers just so the already wealthy can get a tax break and be even wealthier.

That and a family who have a lot to conceal and are good at concealing things.

They don't, but clean quiet traffic in Europe is a good aim.


There's a lot of emotion in it, however in the UK we could cut down on a lot of waste and improve transport.

Ones that reduce fossil fuel use are considered a benefit to society.

Why not?

If any car could use it, then it wouldn't be a bus lane.

I'd imagine it's a temporary measure since when most/all cars are electric, there would be too many and of course bus lanes are more important.


It's not; it's an incentive for good habits.

All very British too. Of course the climate is similar and different; we both have those, you have things like pumpkins and gherkins and we have more green veg.

Plus taste/tradition. You have Hamburg Parsley (pietruszka, the root) but almost no parsnips, we have parsnips but almost no Hamburg Parsley.

Cardoons are rare now and could do with a revival.

Salsify and scorzonera are fiddly and not as good as carrots.

Your 'question' is pointless since you very well know that the vaccine in question has been superseded by a newer one.

That's how medicine works, unless your wife's syphillis is still being treated by Salvarsan and Mercury ointment.

A meaningless post from you.

The vaccine is a vaccine and new ones are ding developed all the time. The ones I had were different each time as doubtless were the ones you had.

Now back in your box, troll.

The U.K. has a current programme so you are mistaken. Vaccines save lives, and the whole point of universal healthcare is that pharmaceutical companies do what we want not the other way round.

Yes, provided the you is a plural.
