    Part of my life growing up near Ramsey, sad to see that store come to an end.

    You don't seem rather bright though.

    At my ASDA we have ~30 scan & pay requiring just two members of staff and they take up far less room than a serviced till. Getting checkout staff isn't easy, we have many pensioners on zero-hour contracts which they love. Work ~20 hours a week, discount on what you buy, earn roughly as much as the state pension.

    Your opinion. Saves time & money, what's not to like?
  6. GD4ELI
    Indeed there is. Very, very popular at my local ASDA.

    And that's on the low side. I was charging more than that over 30 years ago.

    Any teenager with an ounce of gumption will get off the rock and see more of the world.

    So the IOM government gives a grant to the MUA which it owns one way or another.

    Gives the anti-anything brigade something to moan about though. Plenty of turbines round here, not a big issue at all.

    Doubt it - plenty here accessed via tracks.

    Plenty of 60+ police in Switzerland. They take pride in keeping themselves fit. Any who can no longer be on patrol work in the station, generally customer-facing. There's no excuse for being a fat slob.

    How about moderating creation of new threads?

    Did it online from home, took a few minutes, few days later new passport.

    No. Just being ripped off as usual. Blind leading the blind etc.

    AKA the real world.

    No it isn't, it's £4.30 for every £100 customers spend. Most shareholders are pension funds.
  19. GD4ELI
    Actually £2.49 billion on a turnover of £57.6 billion. Another way of looking at this is a profit of 4.3% on sales.

    That's clever stuff. DeLorean maybe?

    Weather

    Well, if you want to hold back the water to avoid flooding then look at the measures taken in the alpine areas of Europe.
  22. GD4ELI
    Carp possibly.
  23. GD4ELI
    Cruel.

    Company cars are a way of avoiding tax, this stops it.
  25. GD4ELI
    Good move.
