Hello.

Hiya. Have a good time? Nice break from t'internet?

[tinyclanger2]

Being angry is legitimate - but coming across as it doesn't always help.

[HindleA]

Is this quiet enough?

[tinyclanger2]

(Mr H has some ideas as to how.)

[tinyclanger2]

SPEAK UP, MAN, I CAN'T HEAR YOU

( I may have misunderstood, again)

[RogerOThornhill]

Cheers all.

Yes, I had a great time thanks - Mantova for 4 days and then Parma - some fantastic churches, baptisteries, art, food and wine.

And no, I didn't miss the internet at all...don't think there were any internet cafes in either place and my only issue was getting my return boarding pass printed which a friendly lady in a Mantova travel agent did for me on Thursday morning.

Jaysus, what happened to the Observer?

Substantial infrastructure investment is promised in transport, broadband networks and housing. Intergenerational inequity is to be promoted by ending the promise to pay 2.5% increase in pensions, scaling back the winter heating allowance and taking housing wealth to pay for social care. A digital charter will offer proper online protection. Development aid spending is to be maintained at current levels.

This represents a drive to occupy the centre ground, but Mrs May remains tribal enough to look after her own. Not only is there to be a wave of new grammar schools, the rightwing press – among others – is to be assuaged by dropping the next phase of the Leveson process on media reform.

[HindleA]

Was it here(alternative spelling)?

If that is centre ground,I am off the fucking scale.

On Brexit:

Losing access to the single market in services after Brexit could cost the British economy up to £36bn a year and have a particularly negative impact on financial services, telecoms and transport, a new report concludes.

Yes it was. Been on my list of places to do for ages.

[HindleA]

Only been to Rome/Venice(honeymoon)

[HindleA]

Though got train from one to the other,so did see more,albeit via window,think through Florence.

[HindleA]

It's bloody Winter Fuel Payment.

[HindleA]

Heating allowance,wtf is it the same four year old that did the manifesto?

[HindleA]

Not pedantic if you can't be arsed to undertake the strenuous task of two seconds checking doesn't say much as to how much thought you have put in.

[refitman]

Heating allowance,wtf is it the same four year old that did the manifesto?

They've completely buried it on the website. I only found it as someone linked it BTL on the d'Ancona article.

[HindleA]

Ah o.k.cheers I get annoyed at these things.

[HindleA]

Well most things,to be fair.

[refitman]

Ah o.k.cheers I get annoyed at these things.

Nah, you'd expect them to get the basics right, even if it is the 'sister' paper to the Graun. I just wouldn't expect them to fix it any time.

[HindleA]

Even myself at getting annoyed.

[tinyclanger2]

Even myself at getting annoyed.

Would advise taking up seething.

[HindleA]

Good advice by the sound of it,but I need guidance as to how exactly to go about,I already maintain a constant groaning sound,any other useful tips?

[tinybgoat]

Think they might prefer to promote Intergenerational equity, rather than inequity, but you never know.

[HindleA]

Waits,impatiently.

[tinyclanger2]

Good advice by the sound of it,but I need guidance as to how exactly to go about,I already maintain a constant groaning sound,any other useful tips?

achieving a good background level of exasperation ensures rapid escalation to seething when necessary

[HindleA]

Although Allowance seems to be what it is known as,so perhaps I should allow leeway,but heat allowance where the fuck did that come from.

[HindleA]

You're obsessed.

[HindleA]

I know

[HindleA]

Glad we are in agreement.
