Labour announced that yesterday -
We didn't have an energy crisis before Starmer was elected Leader How about scrapping the tax breaks that the government gives to oil and gas producers?
-
The element of standing time is not always used. Depends on the company policy for PH (we don’t nor do most near here) or council policy for Hackney carriages but most do.
-
Do you think Labour will be in Government by October?
-
Haha, don't get me started with a 4.6 multiplier

The Tories already took Labour's windfall tax idea and ran with it. Just to point out that claiming Labour needs to have a position is a bit silly when they had a position long before the Tories and indeed were mocked by said Tories for having that position until they took it for themselves Once again we have an issue where Labur needs to have a position, except they did, much earlier than the Tories

No idea why, taxi meters have worked on distance since... since taxi meters were invented

Hahaha thats exactly what Sat Navs do. Sat Navs aren't designed for Taxi Drivers who have an obligation to go via the shortest reasonable route unless otherwise instructed. None of the currently popular SatNav apps (Google/Waze/Apple Maps) have a shortest route option, their algos are based on time not distance, they show you the quickest routes not the shortest. Unless its a short journey they are mostly useless. The best option you'll get is "Avoid Motorways"
-
That isn't the reason taxi drivers ask you which way you want to go. They ask you this so you've told them which way to go and going the long way is then your fault not theirs Especially in your example of an airport People are very tempted to say "Just go down the motorway" for example, the Motorway is is nearly always the longer route and fares are based on mileage. If you tell them to go down the motorway, then the driver is acting on your instructions. Postcodes are shite for navigation

Competitive tendering. Thatchers fault
-
I've even had customers complain that I'm not using a SatNav. Go figure!
-
Its not a case of using the postcode. They get in sit down and just say L24 3HG. Do I look like I have any form of sat nav ready to take this information I'll also ask the question, what is the name of the street.... ummmm Postcodes are the last resort
-
This is my daily trawl through voice recognition logs and its amazing how many people do this, the other favourite being to miss out the building number altogether, like they expect the building number to be a supplemental question If we're talking about people getting into a taxi and telling the driver where they are going then just blurting out a postcode seems to be the new idiocy Standard Response: I don't deliver letters, what's the name of the road.
-
How hard it appears to be for a vast number of people to say their address There is an absolute standard its not hard Building number, Street, Suburb, City, Postcode Taking that to a more local level Building number, street, suburb Why do so many people mix up the order of these items?

Absolutely agree. The swap was always my plan unless injuries prevented it Hoping to get through next week without making any transfers to give me the option of two the following week if a rejig is required -

I watched my players play the Saturday games and checked there were no major injuries and swapped out Kane for Haaland straight away, it was always my plan just because of the fixtures. Still can't believe Spurs scored 4 and Kane did sod all Considering captaining Haaland instead of Salah this week -
It's like you repeated the question without actually reading the responses about how twitter works.

A decent spellchecker shouldn't automatically change a capitalised word anyway

I've heard that too

Some were reportedly heading to Kherson in the last couple of days and the top General of the Ukraine armed forces was saying in mid-July that the middle of August was going to see a big change in the fighting

They want an end to cancel culture you hear...
