29% of people whose main disability is anxiety and depression, get the enhanced motability payment. So it obviously isn't complete nonsense. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-health-conditions/claim-pip-for-mixed-anxiety-and-depression

Of course, if France hadn't stuck its oar in to help the USA win independence from Britain, then slavery would perhaps have been abolished in the USA and the civil war might never have happened. Good one, France.

It'd be a bit rough on the USA. Every single man-made object over 300 years old (and many of the younger ones), apart from the few that survive from Indian manufacture, would have to go "back home".

Lady of the Lake, on Ullswater, is 147 years old and is the oldest working passenger boat in the UK and is listed on the National Historic Ships register. Make of that what you will!

I remember the old lady on a cruise to Australia who asked a seaman where the nearest heads were. "Port side" came the answer. "Oh dear", she said. "Could we perhaps call in at Gibraltar?"

The reason that there are over a million people claiming benefits for anxiety nowadays whereas fifty years ago there were none, is not because fifty years ago no-one was anxious. It's because the definition of disability has been widened. 30% of children this year had extra time to take their...

Genuine question - in what way is having your heating and hot water connected, "liberating"? Liberation from what? However, I can help you with what you would do if they weren't connected. There is a system that has been tried and tested for generations - you turn it on when it's cold, and...

That's sophistry. If a disabled person, and this includes all sorts of disability including anxiety, is eligible for PIP, the government will pay that money direct to the Motability to pay for the car. And, for the record, PIP is funded by taxpayer's money. Te problem isn't that disabled...

Works fine with a landline. Though obviously a lot of people don't have a landline any more.

Draper's Drumlin. (Well, it's not a very big hill.)

Looking on the bright side, Arizona didn't change its clocks last weekend because they don't. (Other than the Indian reservations, where they do.) They seem to cope OK domestically, though perhaps international football times may be beyond them? The big advantage of GMT in winter is that...

If you had studied Buffy the Vampire Slayer a little more closely, you would know that werewolves turn wolfy after sunset regardless of whether or not they can see the moon. And it covers three nights, the night before and the night after the full moon are included. I think Buffy is the...

I dare say it's easy to get worked up on t'net, but getting excited about what someone 12,000 miles away is having for breakfast? Too much even for me!

Of course, a lot of petrol car families (and presumably electric car drivers) have two people who can drive. They may want to take the breaks asleep in the passenger seat.

There is a danger of massive depreciation on electric cars, but not because of battery degradation. The danger is that the technology will improve so much that the vehicle you buy now is worth pennies in three or four years' time because (for example) range may have trebled or charging times...

The point is that when they bought their tickets they were in fully human form. It was later on, when they had turned into werewolves, that they noticed that the crowd was a bit sparse. Probably a hold up with the trains and buses.

You still haven't answered why you are ignoring Business Relief. Business Relief and Agricultural Relief work in the same way and at the same rates. The one relates to family businesses, the other to farms.

You're ignoring business relief. Why?

Farms pay the same rate of IHT as family run businesses. As they did before the budget. You've been getting worked up unnecessarily if that's been bothering you.

Perhaps they should give each team the option of replay or no replay. If both vote for replay, no problem; if both vote for no replay, then it's penalties. (Maybe extra time could be on the options list too.) But if one votes for replay and the other no replay, then the one willing to play a...
