That's the problem with all the misinformation. People could potentially be voting for something which hurts them, based on overhyped ghost stories. I'm interviewing for a public sector job on Thursday and I've been digging around to find out how it's funded. It's a bit of a mess but there's a...

Sorry, formatting mistake. Fixed it.

Negative interest rates are generally mischaracterised. They don't refer to every day interest rates, but rather a specific interest rate that banks charge each other to borrow money outside of business hours. If done properly it doesn't tend to effect the general public. In other news, France...

First thing this morning I saw a barrage of video posts with Farage backtracking on his suggestion (Promise? Does he have the authority to do anything about it?) that the NHS will get an extra so much a week after leaving the EU. I'm not sure if this was a clip that was broadcast this morning or...

I'll have to live with it Phil, a lot longer than you. Perhaps 28% weren't happy to go with the flow, but rather felt that they were too daunted and uninformed to be responsible for such a decision. I'd bet that a similar proportion cast their vote based on an uneasiness about people from...

Well I voted and now all I can do is hope that Cameron doesn't enforce it. It seems a shame that, going by turnout demographics, the majority of leave voters won't have to live with the results of the decision for as long as their children or grandchildren. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

They could get bikes to save on transport costs but I don't think the forum could handle a third thread complaining about bicycles.

My gut feeling is the opposite. Just took the dog for a walk, passed three polling stations and witnessed a few heated discussions (Between people who agreed with each other anyway and presumably had just placed their vote) about how "We need to sort this immigrant problem out". I still feel as...

I'm sure you would like to spin it as posh people and 'middle management' vs salt of the earth, good, honest, hard working folk but it isn't that simple. It's to do with class, age, location, background, prejudice, earnings etc etc etc. I know plenty people who are voting remain who are working...

I use it because sometimes I'm browsing the forum on my phone rather than taking my laptop with me on the bus, in to the shed, or putting it on my knee while I'm sat on the sofa. It's not because I want to brag about my phone; in any case, Tapatalk seems to put some kind of generic serial number...

The banana thing should be a non-issue. There are more important things to worry about but this has been co-opted as something which sounds ridiculous enough to give people looking to be angry about something a problem they can actually understand and quote. I heard that the regulations in...

I've managed to snatch about 12' x 3' of oak worktop offcuts from a relative's garage so they're going to keep me and everyone I know in end grain chopping boards for the foreseeable future. Today though I'm doing a practice run on some beech since I've never done one before. Found out that my...

I've bought a few things from charity shops and antiques places and fixed them up. You tend to get a lot of good quality stuff that someone has done a terrible job of upcycling and decided to get rid of. If you can find something that's solid wood rather than veneered you could get something...

I have attempted to contact the council a few times about various issues and they never seem to make much of an effort to do anything about it. I can't imagine that they'd get far if anyone complained about tool noise, but maybe other local councils are more efficient. Coincidentally we have a...

I have to say that after just over a year of woodworking, and most of that messing around with cheap and badly made power tools, I prefer hand tools for accuracy. Even a well set up bandsaw will knacker your timber if something goes wrong mid cut and you get a mm or so of blade wander. A...

13/14 and second guessed myself on the one I got wrong. Now, how can I make some money from it? Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I probably wouldn't have. I'm the kind of eBay user that tries to get way over the odds for anything I sell, but outright refuses to buy anything for what it's actually worth. I got an old no-name brace from the local antiques warehouse today for pennies. I thought that the mechanism is so...

We're on an end terrace, and my neighbours insist on watching (or falling asleep to) the TV on full blast until 5am. That, coupled with their junkyard of a garden and the rat and weed problem that spills over means that I've given up caring how much I bother them during the daytime. That said...

I had this one in my eBay watch list. Missed it by about 10 minutes though. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
