Its certainly not passed on straight away as the suppliers always use the argument that they have to bulk purchase at different times of the year..

Not sure why they charge a mark up to pay by direct debit after all there isn't really any additional costs to run. I use Go Cardless to collect direct debits for me, they charge me 20p to collect £20.... I think I can live with that without having to pass the cost on

Many people heat their homes with oil so this will come as good news to them as well...

When I first moved here we use to have a local population of frogs. We no longer do I must have found at least 40 of them over the years all dried out. Birds I've had all sorts flying around the house from Robins, Sparrows, Yellow Tits, Pigeons the only bird they wont have a go at is the Magpie I've got one that will dig for worms as for the field mice if their lucky I'll catch them before the cats do...... Not only that I've spent in the region of £4000 getting in specialists to make the garden cat proof, the cats just sat there watching and working out how to bypass the system and they decided to climb the brickwork, so we then decided to use smooth plastic and they still managed it..... 

Google plus, is another I can't get my head around. I'll post to it because it is there and to be fair certain topics come up well in search. But to be joining circles and what not, why?

The trouble with unions is they don't like change, the problem with that is the more protesting they do the sooner driverless trains come into force, leaving them likely to lose their employment altogether. On the plus side MLF will have more one man band start ups joining....

tell you what Steve, pull the plug on MLF and let me know via Facebook how it's going

Im still struggling with this social media stuff, I cannot for the live of me see any benefit to Twitter and it probably isn't very beneficial to the majority of people that are on it all day tapping away the odd tweet hear and there. I think Twitter from a business point of view is really for niche markets. Must admit I was sceptical of Facebook but gradually I'm now getting the odd return, nothing great and certainly not enough to consider pulling the website. In fact the website has just had a shop attached to it, tried opening one with eBay but so many restrictions I wouldn't be able to sell anything. 

I think from a social media point of view it will be just a matter of time before I employ someone full time to do only this, I no longer have the time or the patience to be posting messages all day long...

I couldn't live without a microwave....... If you saw the Mrs cooking you'd understand why. Yet she has all of Mary Berry's, Jamie Oliver's, Keith Floyd and god knows who else books a brand new oven and hob plus an all singing all dancing Kenwood food mixer. And all I get when I get home an ask where my dinner is, answer is always the same.... 'In the microwave dear' whilst chomping on another Ferrero Rocher...

No problems with each country setting it's own taxes / laws and whatever else they want to do, as long as it's not being subsidised by us in England otherwise it should come under a UK ruling. You cannot have free this and that in one country which is being fronted by another yet not available to them. Wouldn't surprise me now for the powers that be to make Alex Salmond a lord in the next honors list being that he and his party have just cost the country millions........

Listening to the radio earlier today, the problem is neither ours or France, in fact these economic migrants which is what they are generally enter Europe via Italy after traveling by boat from one of the African states. And then travel through Europe to Calais. As border control is now almost non existent across Europe, the rest of the European states couldn't care less about the migrants passing through their countries as they know the migrants are not stopping. The whole idea of being a genuine asylum seeker, is that you claim asylum in the first safe country you arrive in. A genuine asylum seeker will be someone who is being persecuted in their own country. No one entering this country from Calais are genuine asylum seekers otherwise they would have claimed it in any of the several countries they traveled through.

Europe as a whole should deal with this, as it is Europe which decided to open up its borders.
