  2. good god, really? Thats Yorkshire for you
  3. heard Alex Crook do a preview of the game on Talksportand he propagated the SCUM thing about the dockers strike. Iwish somebody who knows the facts fully went onand put the record straight, and let him know as well
  4. To be fair it seems they have already piloted the 32hour week, its called being an MP
  5. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/labour-commits-to-32-hour-working-week-within-a-decade/ar-AAHIveK?ocid=spartanntp So 32 hour week but people will have the same wages. Well you do the maths. I suggest that this will lead to large increases to the cost of living, the minimum wage will add to that. Where the extra workers will come from lord only knows, Im told we are basically at full employment now. Who would invest in the UK at present? I know if I was a foreign company I would not as not only are they going to increase labour costs but also want to take 10% of a company if it has more than 250 workers. Is this really going to be a vote winner for them??????

    Im not sure price transparency is clearer. A poster higher up mentioned how the older tourists like to speak to someone and get reassured, I fit in that group. Buying from a photo is a dangerous game, in my own business I see the games that go on and there are many fools out there who look at photo then price, boy do they often buy badly. Frustrating for myself as I see what is happening, if they came into the business and saw the difference then they wouldn't make the mistake. Sadly my own business is 80%+ internet and I have to follow the trend but building a business by reputation is hard as it is not local anymore.
  7. whilst im sure you are correct I think there is now a larger percentage that is renewable, whether that is cost effective is another thing
  8. It would not have been 3-0 as once the 2nd goal had gone in, if it had not been disallowed meant that the play would have been totally different. It may have been 2-2 or 6-0 or even 3-0. Do you understand that?Its like sliding doors, we took a free kick after the decision and that play went on from there, had it been a goal the ball would have started at the centre circle and the pattern of play entirely different.
  9. That is your opinion, but in the minority. He made a mistake in the initial team but overall he is lot better than a lot around. He is getting to the end of his honeymoon period and needs to get a grip but the squad he has to work with!!!

    A very sad day, a wake up call for us all as the internet erodes our high street and major comanies in the field. Should the Gov have given them a loan? Im not sure as they are obviously leaking money like theres no tomorrow. How long can you do so? As I said to my son in law at Christmas when he said he didnt care about the high street as he buys it all online. That may be cheaper and more convenient NOW but once the competition from the High street has gone watch the prices then.
  11. I cant see how people in Central London for example who live in high rise flats will be able to find anywhere to charge their vehicles overnight. Im told that at the supermarkets when you are fully charged you get a message and after about 10 minutes you get charged a high charge per minute? if you haven't moved. It is understandable so that the charging points are left free, but overnight?? I have been considering a Tesla but my wife finds our Range Rover too big and so the Tesla is pretty big as will,although the 3 is smaller
  12. I agree
  13. If JWP had finished just a couple of his chances things would look so different today. We would have said Ralph you got it wrong in the first half but the intricate football won us the game. I really didnt think Bournemouth were that good. We gifted them the first goal that gave them the confidence to hold us off, add to that their determination not to let us score.
  14. Dont start the antoi Ralphstuff Benjii, there are 2 people to really blame and thats mainly Les Reed and perhaps Ross Wilson. The squad is very muuch like the season we went down a team of ok journeymen footballers with a poor defence.
  15. Ralph picked the wrong team, period. Howe outthought him as he played 4 forwards and the team were are tall and strong. We were so at a disadvantage at set pieces and of course all the long balls were easily cut out. To be fair they were 2nd best until their goal which relaxed them, of course Danso being totally out of the comfort zone caused us problems and the 2nd goal duly came that gave them plenty of time to relax. 2nd half with a proper balance we did what we should have from the start. They were rocking but we couldn't get the 2nd goal that would have set us up for perhaps a win. I cant see why the hate of Vest, I dont think he was at fault for any of the goals. Boufal worked hard and looked dangerous, Redmond always causing them trouble, Romeau superb. Adams tried his hardest but needs a goal. Frankly we need a target man like Pelle for our skills and play to take advantage of,as we aren't going to get much change with crosses.

  17. He is unemployed and it looks as though he took a walking stick with him. If he is disabled he curtained didnt seem to be on he day
  18. Portsmouth have hada new marriage guidance service start up, its called Related
  19. Is there one? if so a link would be good
  20. I knew Chris as I used to play tennis with him in a four which is now the David Lloyd centre. A lovely man and loved talking football, especially Saints. His team played such exciting free flowing football, sadly couldn't defend but he was sacked before he should have, he was burdened by following LM if he had followed Branfoot he would have had a long reign IMO
  21. I would add the Guardian to that. What was it 'privileged grief'
  22. Well the older bloke at least had it right. Sadly the nonsense of the dockers strike still is carried on. Perhas someone should write a letter to the News and set things straight. Westwood was right (although seemed drunk)rivalry is good as long as it doesn't go too far. As for the tickets for the FA cup semi final lol, and they took 40kfor the JPT perhaps that needs sorting as well
  23. I agree it is political for the EU, not necessarily for economics. They want to punish us to stop others doing the same
  24. but they dont as Boris is like Trump and is hard to read. Take away that option and we will never know how much they do worry.
