Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Was that due to changes on the Previous Labour borrowing policies ?

The UK budget deficit decreased to its lowest level for August since 2007, data from the Office for National Statistics showed. Public sector net borrowing excluding interventions decreased by GBP1.3 billion to GBP5.7 billion in August. This was the lowest August borrowing since 2007.
In the current financial year-to-date period, PSNB fell GBP0.2 billion to GBP28.3 billion. The Office for Budget Responsibility forecast the PSNB will be GBP58.3 billion during the financial year ending March 2018.
Public sector net debt totalled GBP1,773.3 billion at the end of August, which was equivalent to 88.0% of gross domestic product, an increase of GBP150.9 billion on August 2016.

Uber loses its license to operate in London
3 minutes ago

Uber lost its private hire licence
Uber will not be issued a new private hire licence, Transport for London (TfL) has said.
TfL has concluded the ride-hailing app firm was not fit and proper to hold a private hire operator licence.

Uber's approach and conduct demonstrated a lack of corporate responsibility which could have potential public safety and security implications, it said.
Uber has 21 days to appeal, during which it can continue to operate.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said in a statement: "I fully support TfL's decision - it would be wrong if TfL continued to license Uber if there is any way that this could pose a threat to Londoners' safety and security."

Good riddance to Osborne ,can't stand him .

Just looked at a letter that i received Friday from the NHS. On the back it had advice in Albanian, Arabic, Bengali,Chinese, Farsi, Gujarati, Hindi, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Somali, Turkish and Urdu. Make of that what you will.

Thanks to half a dozen loony nationalists we get all letters in English and Welsh off NHS , councils , utility firms , dvla etc. Even my TV license comes on two separate pages , one in English and one in Welsh.

What a bloody waste of money that law is.

You would prefer Pigeon English?
