everyone will get a smart meter eventually. I work for a company who is in the business and the factories where the old style meters were built have been sold and demolished. Production has moved to new facilities in other territories. There is no market for old style meters and we couldn't build them even if we wanted to (not without substantial investment, for which there is no return) People describe smart meters as "not working" - they usually mean the transmission of data either to the home hub or supplier, and there have defiantly been issues with that, but the meter itself is still working - it is still recording the amount of gas, water or electricity being used

that's the spirit!

I think there are two separate incidents. The Vardy/Tielemens one on the edge of the box - on field decision was no penalty Few minutes later Vardy brought down in the box, ref pointed to the spot but the flag was up for offside

terrible news. Thoughts with his family Go well Shakey x

It is quite astonishing that out of a choice of two people to be president, Trump isn't the biggest clown of the two!

fortunately, not long after the balloon riot, Leicester City Football Club was created to give local people something else to get outraged about for the next 150 years!

posted elsewhere but "On this Day" on front page of Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester_balloon_riot The Leicester balloon riot took place at Leicester's Victoria Park on 11 July 1864. It occurred at a test flight of a new hydrogen balloon by aeronaut Henry Tracey Coxwell, for which 50,000 spectators attended. The crowd were enraged by rumours that the balloon was not the largest and newest of Coxwell's balloons and because a woman was allegedly struck by a police officer. Coxwell's balloon was damaged, upon which he caused the gas envelope to collapse and fled, under attack from the crowd. The balloon was subsequently torn to pieces and its basket burnt. The event caused considerable expense to Coxwell, who had to build a replacement balloon, and it set back progress in scientific high-altitude flights.

was in Switzerland last week. Ridiculous prices for everything. 40 EUR for a basic burger and chips. 8 EUR for a bottle of water at Basel Airport. For that reason alone I hope we batter them!
