I thought it said 'Conservative' instead of 'Conservation' for a second.

That would have been an incredible shock.

Isn't Upper Teesdale in Durham county council which is run by Reform? That probably means they'll use the funds to rip out the flowers concrete the land, and sell the rare flowers to the highest bidder.

    All it tells me is that I should be a shoe-in as a Councillor for Bromley if I just turn up with a 'I'm certainly not him' emblazoned on it with a picture of Dean.

    These people are just dumb psycho's - I just can't fathom how people really don't think through the consequences.

    Honestly, I think anarchy would be better than having these people responsible for us

    I'd go the opposite way, I'd play out an intricate strategy based on the first few boxes, then use probability and high level maths to work out where I'd choose the next box.

    ....or that's what I'd tell 'em. I'd have a box in my head based on a completely random fact like, how many audience members are wearing red sweaters, or something else utterly stupid, and I wouldn't stop until I'd got a good offer or got to the end - I'd just keep feeding them absolute bollox until the second to last box and when they film the whole pause to open the last box, I'd tell them I made the whole theory up and open it so they couldn't cut it from the show.

    Michael Palin.

    The man's been everywhere and can still be incredibly intelligent & engaging while there's always a disarming aura - and if that don't work, his sense of humour will get you every time.

    Exactly this.

    Cant' touch it for fear of exposing white phosphorous to water and causing an explosion.

    There was a plan to put a concrete bund over it but that's been kicked down the road for what now, at least 40 years and they probably don't want to do that for fear of giving first time buyers hope that they've started building projects. 🤣

    The blast wave alone would blow out windows for around a mile and the tidal wave caused by said explosion could do millions of pounds of improvements to the surrounding area. /s

    I was looking for a good skate game and I thought this might be a good.

    ....then I read the reviews. There seems to be some real mixed reviews of this game.

    The reason I didn't download was because it's choc full of Microtransactions.

    Is this sarcasm?

    How does this make things better?

    It hands a vital service over to an American company that can then strong-arm the UK/EU into other dubious decisions. This would absolutely be the worst solution due the US now controlling the EU satellite architecture.

    It's what currently got us here in the first place - the over reliance on the US.

    You realise Bezos is just as equally culpable as Musk in Trump's reign? He's on his kneels and sucked that mushroom just as much as Elon.

    It needs to if we're going to have water. Unless we have a month of torrential downpours where some other villages in the Devon wash away, we're going to be so low on water.

    The summer was absolutely brutal, but what I don't get is why they didn't sound the alarm loudly at the start of the summer?

    I didn't hear anything about water shortages until about mid August and I swear that we've have less hot summers where we've had warning far in advance.
