There has been note of an increase of incidence in UK childhood cancers (better detection? more children - is the change in the rate of cancers showing a similar increase?)

Dr Brian Cox said much the same thing on one of those recent BBC programmes recently (particulary the role of photons on carbon/hydrogen binds. But , what I find interesting is that the order the science thinks it should happen in, is pretty much the same as the Genesis Chap 1 order of things, which...

The travel by train saga rolls on. What the 'in the bubble' people don't seem to appreciate is if you want to experience the trials and tribulations of an ordinary train customer you don't travel by aeroplane, chauffeur driven limousine, first class travel or even a 'reserved' seat. The initial int...

You could build 30 of Kenneth Baker's University Technical Colleges with £300 million. Well , they built/ equipped / staffed on in Burnley. Closing due to lack of students attending.... meanwhile in overcooking London more new high schools being built in inappropriate places (academys)(on industria...

for once, I think the USA was ahead of the EU, at least in recognising the problem, they may have already implemented a ban , not sure.

Keyword really be , before you(as in big industry), introduce a change, have a think about what the consequences might actually be.

I've re-read that bus blazoning and can see the confusion. I assume the £350m figure predominantly arises from Import Duties collected, which in a Customs Union are pooled up to a central point. It probably also covers the payment made on the basis of GDP (itself not a good indicator of tax cash ava...

the last council twit who decided on flat roof garages (better than corrigated fibre re-inforced sheeting though , or tin ), forgot to specify white reflective chips as a finish. So even the back is warmed a little too nicely, but then its too dark by 6 ish to see to well. I must learn how to proper...

I've been delivering stuff to some supposed wealthy areas of suburban surrey, there were a fair proportion of milk bottles ( and express/dairy crest badged white insulated recepticles ) out on doorsteps (ok porches). I guess early rising for the morning train and that milk, etc can be quite weighty ...

Clutch centering tool (for a small car, etc)

I'll agree to differ Stanley, I enjoyed what I watched. If you want a proper example of the abhorrent use of money in sport, £300 million to train hundreds of athletes for the Olympics pales into insignificance when you compare it with professional football. They spend a third of that on single pla...

Waddingtons near Sheffield continually asking the waterways authorities to increase the Don and Trent navigation sizes at pinch points to get large boats from the Humber into the East Midlands, but the authorities have stated they only really see the navigations for pleasure, rather than significant...

My thought was that his £9billion was no protection against the man with the scythe.... What's the betting the accountants are hard at work on the Inheritance Tax...... I think the value of the Grovenor Estate is mostly tied up in companies which no doubt spread the wealth around many family member...

Pictures show the main external building so could well be, but the sizes of the engines dont look the same. Men doubtless wearing brown dustcoats.

Funny how the 'mistake' resulted in an overcharge...... I thought the Meter Serial Number was supposed to identify the CuFt or CuM measurement. Careless data input when changing companies, mine did it, after a red bill chasing after 10 days after I told them they billed incorrectly on-line, and no ...

House Prices, I don't know where alicejones is , but prices are generally a function of expected future earnings from residing at that location ( with premiums for being near a nice school/ good transport links etc ). So yes, being locked to a specific location, depending how much 'sweat equity' one...

I presume Farage will forgo his allotment (or donate to Medical Charity?)

Been doing a lot of walking, often past gardens or common land with Blackberries, there is quite a variation in size and taste depending on location, and direction to main sunlight times, there could be some variations in seed types too , some have been small and tart, others nicely large and juicy....

London's warmer sun has been a little too hot, until yesterday/today , when really the shortening daylight now means not enough light to work by in the still warm and nice air. The unsettled weather I assume from a low pressure, coming tomorrow and into Saturday might disturb my planned trip to Mabl...

I'll chip in at some time on council housing, although in bits of the North it is sometimes difficult to tell difference (externally) between private build, and that built by the likes of pit owners and into NCB days too, plus other major employers - I think the Potteries companies around Stoke on T...

Confusingly Fiscal Policy relates to taxation, and how much , on what, at what time, is levied normally by central government. Monetary Policy used to be in the old days credit restraints, fixed exchange rates, interest rates, sometimes controlled by government, sometimes target outsourced to 'indep...

Lichens tend to get overlooked in ecological surveys, yet they grow undisturbed on back street kerbstones, till some bright road rebuilder decides to ditch the stones for neat concrete blocks.

Wolframite - presumably why Tungston had the letter 'W' in the periodic table.

Dunno Tiz, my mother, her best friends and her cousin its the normal phone call topic, along with the weather and how bad the politicans are and its rubbish on TV. (must be something that happens when one goes past 80 years of age) Meanwhile visited the beach area and pleased that town square chip s...

Windows (*8?) Lenovo lost abilty to connect to other devices ? Dont know if something has changed but the mini USB lead to USB (tried 2) dont bring up the drive letters of the android phone or tablet, which I wanted to transfer pictures to to show mum . Have I, android or microsoft changed some kind...

I'm still arguing (but no one of influence is listening) All air-con systems to be powered by Solar Panels. Triple Glaze all new build properties. Solar Panels or Piping on all new buildings + wind turbines. If one is digging holes in ground for new build anything, then install ground source heat pu...
