    Spy Poisoning

    Strangely, nobody who has ever visited Gatwick can remember passing through a gate which looked anything like that one. Perhaps it's a special channel they reserve for visiting Russian spies?

    Saw this on hols and it made me smile

    It's a very common place-name, there's one in Eindhoven too. My dad's family lived there during the German occupation. I think PSV is the only club still named after its original company founder, happy to be proved wrong though.

    Things that annoy you

    Depends where they live. I saw three very ordinary families who were asking £800,000 for very ordinary looking houses in North London on Amanda Lamb's 'Selling Houses' programme. In another part of the country you could probably buy a manorial estate for that kind of money.

    But they can still vote on the issue and that may be enough to tilt the result in favour of compulsory conscription (assuming that CDU/CSU doesn't already have a majority on the issue)..
