Because I had to. I had a life to get on with. I didn't say I agreed with it.

Probably true and that is the problem with indirect discussion via social media.

I don't think it's lack of vision more lack of understanding. It's an age related thing. Remember when your parents couldn't grasp the concept of computers, automation, even TV remote controls because it was outside of their known experience. Unfortunately, if it's "new" it's "alien" to what they know and what they expect of the world they've lived in and that's where they struggle.

That's very unfair. My parents lived through it and it was a great hardship on them and a great cost to the nation. I'm not suggesting the survivors are owed by us all that have come into this world since but the memories of that time in our history has a profound effect on those that lived on. They deserve more respect from the likes of you.

I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make. You've taken a simplistic and ignorant soundbite and tried to make it political and a criticism of those who exercised their right to vote, a result you clearly disagree with. People voted for Brexit for more than this single reason, if you'd care to look. Brexit vote explained: poverty, low skills and lack of opportunities | Joseph Rowntree Foundation (jrf.org.uk) I voted Remain FWIW but I have accepted the result of what was a national referendum.

Best bit of corporate speak I've heard for a long time. That's not to say I disagree with what you say.

Weedol and Roundup are poor weed killers. I've found Resolva to be the most effective, particularly for weeds between slabs and blocks. It seems to do what it says and kills the weed down to the roots. Even established dandelions seem to succumb.

It's not huge but we like it.

Vodka isn't made from potatoes anymore. I have an allergy to raw potatoes and the other day I was given a vodka based shot and I immediately started sneezing and getting bunged up (nasally, I hasten to add). I put it down to the base for vodka being fermented spuds. I Googled it and I am wrong in that assumption.

Generally ex-players who have their brains in their feet.

I remember the giraffe and this: It had carp (I think) in it. Maybe it's not deep enough for carp, but there certainly was fish. Back then when I was at Gateway Grammar school, the museum seemed a fascinating place to visit. Sadly IMO it has become stale and uninteresting, but maybe that's just me being much older now.

I have been tempted recently as it's been 14 deg in the morning and we had the heating on in the winter when it was 16 deg. I only prevaricated because it's the end of May and it just seems wrong.

Excuse me but, I'm of a "leaded fuel" generation but I'm not fooled by anything the Tories try to bribe us with. It's all rhetorical headline grabbing and none of it is a manifesto policy. There may well be a percentage of the blue rinse brigade for whom the Tory party can ever do wrong. I'd like to think I have the nouse, and intellect to know when I'm being ****ed over by the Gov. Or anyone else, for that matter. Unfortunately there are bound to be those dyed-in-the-wool Conservatives as much as there are those forever Red Socialists who will only vote for what they've believed in for more than a generation. Hopefully common sense will prevail for the majority of ordinary voters that aren't senile or reactionary, to dispose of the current government and try a change. Undoubtedly there's those who are concerned about moving away from the norm, something they've only known for the last 14 years and they find that a bit scary.

It would seem so: Gulliver's Kingdom | Matlock Bath (gulliverskingdomresort.co.uk)

Some advertising junior is getting sacked tomorrow.

@davieG?

Not to mention Gulliver's Kingdom where he'll try to fit into a roller coaster carriage to show he's down with the kids.

What happened to that poster that claimed to to know that MI5 and the Civil Service were running the country and accused @Daggers. of piss-taking??

Front page headline in one of the rags: "Turd World War". Which I found amusing.

N Korea sending balloons of animal excrement and other waste into S Korea. Apparently in retaliation for propaganda leaflets being dropped in NK. You send us shit leaflets we'll send you real shit.
