Re: Actually ...
Ms Smith's house, is a very nice house in a very nice area. That sort of property doesn't pay for itself y'know.
But of course, she shifted her location a few miles in her election campaigns.

You can't a down vote, from I presume a former member of the royal engineers.
From the linked article above.
"...even charged the Royal Engineers thousands of pounds for useless cards that went missing from a trade fair at which uniformed members of the corps had been paid to help promote the bogus devices.
Bolton's device, the GT200, was also backed by British embassies in Mexico City and Manila, through the then Department of Trade and Industry.
"The involvement of UK government agencies in promoting this is very embarrassing and awkward," says Mr Sheldon, who was shocked to learn of the involvement of the Royal Engineers Exports Support Team. "

Re: Prospects for the global economy
" and is now on course to be one of the worst hit countries in Europe from a public health perspective too, "
Worse than Spain, Italy and Greece? I doubt it somehow. They are already asking for billions in handouts from the ECB, that's on top of their huge existing debt. If the airline and travel agencies fold and it goes on for a month or two more, that is their tourist industry killed off, a large percentage of their GDP.

So how do the coronavirus smartphone tracking apps actually work and should you download one to help?
Tuesday 14th April 2020 09:13 GMT
Re: Good for data-less phone plans
"Curious.... why do you not use cellular data?"
1. They have no need for it?
2. They want to save money?
3. They don't want to be tracked everywhere?
Me personally, about 90% of apps have it disabled. Means I can have cheaper plan, less adverts and yes, less creepy tracking.

You're presuming there are fuses . Fuses are designed to protect from overload. If you are designing to very high standards, in theory you shouldn't need a fuse. In addition to this, a fuse blowing, could be just a catastrophic as having no fuse at all.

Re: phone scams any time now?

Clearly you a)Not British or b) reporting it to some scam artist.
It takes 2 minutes to register a scam call and they even mention they won't contact you back.
People whine all the time about scam calls then do NOTHING to help stop them.

The rules on automated calls are in regulation 19, and are stricter. You must not make an automated marketing call – that is, a call made by an automated dialling system that plays a recorded message – unless the person has specifically consented to receive this type of call from you. General consent for marketing, or even consent for live calls, is not enough – it must specifically cover automated calls.
