Expect more to follow it won't just be energy their talking about, the food industry supermarkets already have the technology in place to implement.

RESIST This barmy fucked up world or go quietly into the battery hen system you've been warned about and stop being seduced by technology if you want to keep a semblance of freedom!

Our local supermarket now locks you in the self service till area until you scan your receipt at the gate. I don’t print out unnecessary stuff so an assistant has to let me out.
Just assume everyone is a thief.

I see that the number of reported cases has gone up astronomically - I watched some lads pocket bottles of beer in Tesco before the game and presumably walk out

The Triple Lock - As someone who is rapidly approaching pension age, this is the most crazy policy out there

Year 1 inflation at 10% pay rises 2% Pensions go up 10%
Year 2 inflation at 2% pay rises 10% Pensions go up 10%
Year 3 inflation at 1% pay rises 1% Pensions go up 2.5%

so over 3 years cost of living and pay rises go up by 13% Whereas pensions go up 24%

Just stupid, and apart from legacy Public sector pensions is the one thing bankrupting the country, which the young will continue to pay for

Just need one party to make a stand on this, but they are too scared to lose the votes,

The UK can not go bankrupt or run out of £. Don't talk rubbish. Pensions are too low not too high.

Don't store your eggs in fridge , room temperature & they will not break the yolk when cracking .

It also avoids condensation forming on the eggshell which can breed bacteria. Only bleached eggs should be stored in a fridge.

I don't store them in the fridge. Guess I am just heavy handed.
I can't use instant gravy granules without getting lumpy gravy.
So the wife fries the eggs and makes the gravy.
Likewise she can't chop an onion I have to do that.

Use a knife to break the shell, gently open the egg onto a plate and slide into the saucepan.

Have a look at autism friendly clothing. Sensitivity to clothes is a big autism issue and there’s brands that sell without labels or without seams for autistic people.

Absolute pet hate of mine! Traffic light management is now affected by a hideous combination complete lack of understanding of risk by the highway authority and sheer laziness by the contractors doing the work, in not clearing the lights away at the end of the day.

There should be some sort of penalty for every hour there are traffic lights or lane closures.

1. Temperature variations cause some regions to use more power than others for cooling
2. As energy moves to hotter regions, parts of the grid are left with different voltages and frequencies
3. This creates 'anomalous oscillations' in very high-voltage power lines, leading to synchronisation errors across the network
4. Irregular power flows damage equipment and lead to more errors which spread through the grid
5. Which triggers a cascade of blackouts

Unreliable and unstable, that's 'renewables' for you. The technology is immature.
