Scammers and spammers get away with conning the innocent. Whilst my throw away e-mail that I have used for porno age verification only got tonnes of spam after stupidly asking for a receipt from europarkingsolutions.co.uk in Sainsbury's car park. Come on city of London police and ofcom get your finger out and go after the real crooks.

Waymo's self-driving cars face their toughest test yet: London
Captcha
As these cars have been trained on Google Captcha they will stop at all the crosswalks, not drive on a sidewalk, obey traffic lights hanging off of wires, not stop by a fire hydrant and not overtake yellow busses. It is a good job London doesn't have zebra crossing, pavements, traffic lights on poles, double yellow lines and red busses.

O2 cranks prices mid-contract, essentially telling customers to like it or lump it
Re: "telling customers to leave if they don't like it"
o2 do a £8 / Month tarriff on Mr Lewis' website, currently 32GB. I always switch to the latest version when the April price hike happens. Only worth having over Lebara or Smarty if you have VMo2 Broadband as it doubles your 32GB to 64GB and ups your internet speed a bit.

Recycle your electricals now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only place around here is the other side of Plymouth and is part of the council tip. Despite the badly drawn cartoon cat telling me to recycle my electricals NOW. I would love to recycle my old phones and gadgets that no longer work but no one wants them and to join the exhaust belching queue to get rid of an old game boy and some batteries seems to defeat the object of saving the planet.
Good morning, Brit Xbox fans – ready to prove your age?
Re: At the ripe age of 43, i got the email too
I'm over 3x the age restriction but this sounds perfect to me.
"Those who choose not to verify their age, Microsoft has confirmed, will retain access to their existing games and other media as well as the ability to buy more – including age-restricted titles. It's the social side of gaming that will be locked off: voice and text chat, party functionality and game invites, and the ability to share user-generated content will be limited to "Xbox friends" only, while the "Looking for Group" and custom club features will be blocked off entirely."
