I see the EU has now issued a statement condemning the Catalan referendum as being "a nationalistic coup against the interests of Europe". I wonder if this is how the EU viewed the recent Scottish referendum?

The scary thing is that there has been no condemnation by the EU of the spanish governments tactics...you can see now why Juncker wants an EU army, not to guard against external threats but to suppress regions and populations that are not "on message".

Why?

Well I think the copying of a company's advertising material is a breach of copyright which could open the arbitrager to a claim for breach. There is also an argument that copying a company's advertising material could open an action for "passing off".

I have exactly the same attitude to Axminster.

Boat design is a complex science and the suitability of a design will also depend on the nature of the water you intend to use it in. Why not look at proven designs and build from a set of plans? Try here:- http://www.selway-fisher.com or if you want a stacking dinghy here:-...

From a personal perspective I welcome the emails advising of the DIY stuff coming up at Lidl. Over the years I have bought a few bits from Lidl and found their stuff to be ok. I know there is an attitude among some that Lidl/aldi stuff is cheap (encouraged by their competitors ?) Firstly, I am...

...because they can then use pollution as an excuse to extract more tax from a captive audience. The council responsible for the Peoples Republic of Nottingham has been extremely creative in finding ways to obstruct traffic and, as a result, claim that pollution is increasing and that it may be...

Notwithstanding any action taken that may by HMRC, if you have been charged VAT by a business that is not vat registered then if the business refused to make a repayment you could claim the overpayment through the small claims court. I cannot think of any valid defence to charging vat when not...

Has anyone got one yet? I'd be interested in a review.

I am an O2 customer in an area where O2 seem to be constantly working on the telephone mast. Having thrown a wobbler, they sent me a Boostbox (foc) which allows me to receive/make mobile calls over my BT broadband connection if the regular O2 signal drops out. The boost box is set up...

The advert looks extremely dodgy to me and contains no reference to the promoter of this scheme being authorised or regulated by the FCA. The advert tries to give the veneer of respectability by making reference to a "an established UK plc" and "FCA regulated bond administrator" but fails to...

I have run Macs in my business for years but have never been comfortable with the "Macs dont need virus protection " line. However, Norton Security runs silently and unobtrusively in the background and stops unauthorised access via the internet (in and out) and also strips out infected...

If you like "medieval" then check out the churches on Dartmoor. There are some stunning rood Screens, fonts and pulpits , some showing the damage caused when defaced on the orders of Henry VIII. The roof bosses are also worth looking at, especially in the church at Widecombe on the Moor. I defy...

I have just made a bracelet using various layers of veneer and started by soaking the veneer in water for a day, after which it was extremely bendy, I was surprised at how tight the curves without any hint of splitting. With regards to your Lambo leg guards, (I'm no expert but...) I'd suggest...

Judging by the letters accompanying job applications that I receive, the overall standard of grammar and literacy is woeful. It isn't restricted to members of the public nor is it a recent phenomenon. Anyone that has been to St Mary's on the Isles of Scilly may have seen the plaque on a bus...

I have just seen a Happy St Patrick's Day card on sale in a newsagents! Unbelievable!

Given the appalling decline in educational standards, something needs doing. Having a set of T (technical?) Levels for the less academic seems a good idea to me.

There is a plaque on a bus shelter in St Mary's, Isles of Scilly which reads... "This shelter was erected in 1954 to commemorate the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by the council of the Isles of Scilly..." And I always thought it was the Archbishop of Canterbury!
