I'm off on a tangent, an article on tonight's news highlighting how we throw away 150000 tonnes of electrical goods every year, well I'm sorry but we have been coerced into being a throw away society, even cars with pcp are now a throw away item, we should be careful what we wish for, progress doesn't automatically mean progress for mankind, now where's me horse n cart.

You're not wrong, chap. It's all about a balance.

Seems like your having all the fun in the UK, shame I'm missing it.

I see on the BBC you are going to have a shortage of toys at Christmas due to (choose for this list, Brexit, Lorry Drivers, French, Muppets in Charge, Protesters, C19, lack of containers and or ships etc. etc.), are there queues and fights outside Toymaster or Smyths yet?

I wish the press would just shut the f**k up. If there nothing serious to report, maybe tell some positive stories? ..... But no, start more panic buying! It'll be toys this week, fireworks next week, turkeys the week after that. Idiots.

Ps. I'm OK, I've still got a massive turkey in the freezer from last year, as I was called away to work last minute, so didn't have Xmas dinner.

How about Naga Munchetti trying to take the hard line interviewing the Chief of Police from Norway. WTF is that about. If it'd been me I'd have told her to **** right off

At the risk of reopening an old wound, the EU had passed a law that manufacturers had to make their products repairable. 'The Right to Repair'.

It's not just electrical goods but fashion, building industry (demolition and rebuild rather than renovate) the list is endless.

We may throw away 150,000 tonnes of electrical good a year, but there are a number of very wealthy individuals who make fortunes recycling the stuff.
I was speaking with a guy who recycles almost everything and he recons (if my memory is correct) less than 10% of what is in electrical products goes to landfill.

Where there's muck there's brass as they say.

Her manner is dreadful; can’t see any reason she’s in the job. Constantly hurling insults at Charlie Stayt. Her arrogant attitude and smugness is off the scale.

I've just had an idea to stop these idiots blocking the roads.
Firstly drag them out of the way. Then p*ss in the spots they were sitting in.
Let's see how dedicated they are to their cause when it means they have to sit in p*ss.

The Police should just get you to tell one of your stories over a loud hailer. They'd soon all p1ss off :rofl5:
