@jaxoncoder And some card machines go up to 30% suggested tip. It’s a bizarre system to European eyes….

@jaxoncoder In fact I now pay with my phone so not such an issue. When I queried why sales tax is not included on the menu price, I was told it was because ST varies from state to state. An odd reason imho.

@DGlaucomflecken I would have thought ‘I only have eyes for you’ would be appropriate in your case! 😂

@DrSteveTaylor And here’s the contrast. A commitment by the French Govt to renovate 40 000 schools over the next 10 yrs - €500M , making them more energy efficient. Not having to shore them up or shut them down!

@darrengrimes Oh dear….

@archer_rs And yet people are stopped, even arrested for peaceful non-violent protest!

@thecoastguy Well, mine does , even when it got down to -10C ! You’re just spouting nonsense…

It takes just one little paragraph from @JohnJCrace to expose Sunak’s lies…

Beautiful letter in today’s Telegraph.

@rimram @JacquiDeevoy1 The term pneumonia refers to a kind of lung infection- the cause may be viral or bacterial. Just as a sore throat may have a bacterial or viral cause. The term does not in itself describe the causative agent.

@DocAhmadMalik Seriously? It’s the speed with which this is happening that’s the issue here. Previous climate change was in geological timescales or sec to a catastrophic event eg major asteroid strike/massive volcanic eruption. The unprecedented event here is human activity!

@DadJokeMan 🤣🤣. Thank goodness you didn’t do sham poo!🤭

@PatrickSquirrel @JonathanSarfat1 @ichudov @DrSusanOliver1 So if you think all data is junk, why do believe the data quoted by people (often selectively) who want to sell the line that Covid vacc is worse than Covid itself?That’s just cherry picking!

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

The findings of an independent review into the latest NHS reforms in England were recently published.

Dotted throughout are a mix of worthy pointers, but the review is unlikely to lead to major policy change from Sunak’s government, says @hughalderwick https://t.co/PCw3RjB2Hm

@thejackhopkins Having v recently lost my wife of 41 yrs v suddenly, I fully endorse your sentiments. I miss so much that ‘just being’ together, that gentke presence. Often no need for words. The quiet glance across the room, the gentle brush of feet in bed. Never ever take this for granted!

@ChonkNockles @paulpottsmusic @darrengrimes My final comment as I’ve guests. I get v annoyed by those like Mr G who originated this thread who use these lazy insults as porported political comment. Complex issues are reduced to binary terms - most issues are ‘wicked problems’, ie nuanced and complex,not shock jock fodder.
