Interested in the world around me and all things scientific. The world does not have to be the way it is. Ordinary people working together can change it.
@visitnorthyork I'm getting on a bit now and hiking up a hill is a bit of a struggle but strolling through countryside like this is idyllic. The views constantly changing around every bend and rise.
@Gypsypup13 I started participating in this a few months ago. Long-term large scale research like this can bring benefits for many in the future. I'm happy to do my bit even though I probably won't be around by the time any discoveries are found.
@ScotsValkyrie@mac123_m@OctopusEnergy I think the standing charge is too high, but it is paying for the infrastructure to bring electricity to your house when you want to use it.
@ScotsValkyrie@mac123_m@OctopusEnergy You could have your mains electricity disconnected and go completely off grid. You wouldn't be liable for the standing charge then.
@blazercarl@AngelaEuropean It turns out that I am entitled to free eye test every year, but my local optician dose not do NHS work, similar to many dentist. Due to where I live the next nearest optician is an hour's drive away. A refund can be got by filling in a form and sending it off with my receipt.
@matthew50048902@0oTali@BlokeOnWheels Those soldiers would be ashamed to see these cheap tattered flags flying at half mast on lampposts. If you want to fly the flag then install a flag pole on your property and buy a decent quality flag. And remember to take it down at sunset each day.
@mrsDugskullery I can't understand why anyone would even want to visit the USA they way it is. I'd probably end up being thrown in jail because of my Yorkshire accent.
