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.

The key paragraphs to me are:

French fisherman are only permitted to harvest the molluscs between October 1 and May 15, beyond a 12-nautical-mile exclusion zone off the coast, in accordance with environmental rules designed to maximise breeding.

British fishermen do not operate under the same restrictions, but generally agree not to raid the scallop stocks when the French are restricted from doing so.

If there is a no deal situation....everybody returns to their own hunting grounds…..ouch !....that situation would probably better suit the British fishermen than the French......hope this is sorted.....crazy situation having a battle between fishermen....

I wonder if the EU will ban English "Fish" products.

On what grounds?

About as likely as us banning German cars.

Tighter regulations to protect EU fisheries and fishing.

Not banning, maybe burning them like an English owned cottage.

Easigrass, Doc?

Sounds like something you'd buy in an Amsterdam coffee shop.

:o)

:-)

Maybe at Euro prices too.....

Changed my DNS to 1.1.1.1 recently following lots of various online tips to do so.

Made a note of what it was previously, of course, so as to change back again should the need arise.

My PC seemed much faster and happier than before, as did the downloads

....and then....

My BT online e-mail has been hacked with an unmovable advert in and amongst the regular e-mails in the Inbox.

The Spam box got one of these too, but that disappeared on deleting all the spam.

I do believe, that BT are responsible for the hack.

Aha!

I've just updated ALL my software using 'PatchMyPC'. I did this because there is a new version of CCleaner. Then, of course, I've run CCleaner.

CCleaner seems to have shifted whatever it was. The advert is now gone.

"As long as I can say what I want, vote as I wish, and I am getting my own way I don't mind what I have to do."

Any target will do.

Come to mind.

Wrong thread!

Dum, dum, dum, dum, d-dum, dum, d-dum. Oh, I'm afraid the NEC will be quite operational when your friends arrive.

except fred that first you actually have to vote!

Nasty bugs on airport security trays

IT is bad news for holidaymakers already dreading the slow trudge through airport security.

Airport trays, as well as being an annoyance, also harbour nasty cold and flu bugs from the thousands who use them daily.

Scientists who swabbed the trays found half carried respiratory viruses including rhinovirus, which causes the common cold, and influenza A.

Experts say ill passengers may be using handkerchiefs and tissues, which they put in their pockets, before removing metallic items such as keys and phones to put in the trays. This will then expose other holidaymakers to the bugs. Jonathan Van-Tam, professor of health protection at the University of Nottingham, which carried out the research with the Finnish National Institute for Health and Welfare, said: ‘People can help to minimise contagion by hygienic hand washing and coughing into a handkerchief, tissue or sleeve at all times – but especially in public places.’ And Professor Hugh Pennington, emeritus professor of bacteriology at Aberdeen University, who was not involved in the study, said: ‘There is a risk of passing on these viruses, especially during flu season, to other people using the trays and more so to airport staff.

‘There may be other viruses on the trays, like norovirus, which can’t be tested for.’

Researchers found evidence of viruses on ten per cent of the airport surfaces they examined. These included shop payment terminals, staircase rails, passport-checking counters and children’s play areas.

Swabs were collected at Helsinki-Vantaa airport, Finland’s main airport, at the height of flu season in February 2016.

Evidence of viruses was found on four out of eight airport trays tested.

The study, published in the journal BMC Infectious Diseases, concludes that security screening trays pose the ‘highest potential risk’ of any surface in an airport.

The researchers recommended that alcohol-based hand sanitisers be installed in airports for passenger use before and after security screening.

Think of the number of "card" payments at cash machines etc. and the buttons being pressed.

Have to use rubber gloves when I go out.

Good idea Fred, that'll help contain your germs and keep the rest of us healthy. :)

Just take your cleaning staff with you.

George.

Nah,

I will just sigh over the buttons as I press them.
