I can actually think (having thought about it for a few minutes) two very easy ways to sort that. Either change the bus payment terminal so it has a "+1" option for the disabled card (charges for 1 person by default, and adds the carer when selected), or change the "+ carer" card to a "carer"...

things like "commerical" properties are often part of the council's portfolio because they were either built on land owned by the council, or because the council invested in them because they are good for the lcoal area. For example a lot of one of my neighbouring councils "offices" that they...

Maybe because it reduces the amount we pay in taxes, and traditionally the average council has looked ahead and thought about how a change will affect the people in the area much more than some investment group based in America or wherever whose only interest is how much they can get in the...

One of the things I remember from early in the pandemic was that pretty much every medical facility from the private sector, public sector, and university labs were trying to find things that could help, so it wasn't surprising at all they adapted the tests fairly quickly.

Sorry I was getting the terms wrong :(

The basis of the PRC tests is as has been said decades old, once they ID'd the virus it was a matter of adapting the test which is trivial as PCR/Lateral flow is the technology/method not what it's testing. You've possibly never heard of a PCR test before because you're not a medic or work in a...

And what happens with the likes of the elderly and disabled? RM was working fine, then the government sold it off having cut it's staffing levels to the bone and made sure private companies could leech most of the profit out of it. Post should not be for profit, it is a service that is...

Oh, poor Tommy in court again? What's it for this time, fraud, immigration offences/getting on aircraft with false ID's. assault, ignoring court orders, or simply offences against the justice system by filming where it's not allowed and he's been told he's putting an important trial at risk?

Usually around Christmas, but also if the situation at the local delivery office is messed up enough that they need to try and clear a backlog or have a bunch of tracked items that are about to show up the delay in the stats. We've been getting tracked items arriving (often from a different...

Those were my thoughts exactly. When fighting Maximus he even made a comment about "reading the manual" from memory, which indicates he knew that the person he was up against wasn't a major threat, and then in the last episode he both knew what he was facing and prepared for it accordingly...

Vice char of a pro isreali settlers group, accompanied by a camera person and apparently a couple of probable body guards. The police officer did pretty much what Police always try to do when there is a protest, in that he was keeping people from two obviously opposing sides separate. Except...

How long is a piece of string. RM are legally meant to deliver 6 days a week if there is post to deliver, and have 1st class arrive next delivery day if posted Mon-Sat with no difference in how they handle tracked and untracked. However around my way it seems that it is highly variable, and...

This is exactly what I'd say. A lot of disabilities vary in severity, and depending on where and when you are travelling you might or might not need the assistance of someone throughout, or you might be able to get the assistance at each end and not always need someone the entire time. Even...

Yup Not so much the voltage but the pulse, they knew they needed the emergency number to be one you could dial in the dark or by touch if needed, and they knew that the obvious option of 111 would be triggered regularly by the most common line faults, so they went with the other end of the dial...

Yup it's always slightly amusing the idea that supermarket fuel isn't up to "standard", or is "rubbish" when the reality is it's all to the same standard with tiny amounts of different additives that may or may not make much difference at all (we're not like some of the non EU countries, or...

Or, and this is much more based in reality. Depending on previous experience with the people involved, the group involved, and manpower available. There is no way the Police can afford the manpower ratio they use for a BNP/NF march of a couple of hundred known usually violent thugs for a march...

Flat bios batteries do odd things, especially with some of the older machines and OS's. Younger brother had a machine that would routinely not connect to Skype due to an "invalid SSL certificate", it turned out it was the bios battery and if we manually told windows (XP IIRC) to sync it's time...

A new battery would be good, but if you've got access to an "old style" battery charger (a "dumb" one) it might be able to get the current battery working. We've got 3 battery chargers in our garage and the 30+ year old one is the one I really don't want to replace, it's battered, it's basic...

I'm only vaguely aware of how common it is, but it made me shudder when I read about a couple of the private hospitals that had deaths because basically they had the facilities, but no suitable staff on site or similar so when patients took a turn for the worse at night it was lower level...

Yup The amount shown on the pump should be what you're charged or what the charge finalises at (as has been said they can precharge the card if pay at pump and then it adjusts), but the whole "pump says it put in more than the listed tank capacity" is a red herring for reasons mentioned. I'm...
