I genuinely think the EU has held the UK back for the last few decades. The data suggests we have been indexed to the EU. I think as a nation we are better than the average of the whole EU. We are inventive and creative. Going forward we will either lag behind or surge in front of the EU. With the ...

Surprisingly no Snowbirds - same source as before

Schedule shows no engagement for the A10 over the RIAT period

Well according to some posted prelim schedules on US forum no Thunderbirds - no announced Blue Angels but for all those who love speculating out there 17-18 July is a weekend off - haven't some of these schedules been round for awhile though?

No snow - western Sweden

Well done Boris on a stonking trade deal with Canada that will no doubt help us recover from Covid..


.....even if it is exactly what we had before

I would rather people make the transition when they feel it is a viable alternative, not be forced into it. I can’t see how the infrastructure is going to be there to support it either? I work inside the industry that is providing the alternative and the infrastructure. there are models for hydroge...

I'll take that bet Iain.

I think he's finished politically.

Don't forget if he did want to run again he would have to go through the whole Republican nomination shenanigans and I don't think they would buy it a second time around

Only if he wanted to run for the Republican Party...

If you look at the map as indicated in a previous post is not the sun behind you most of the day?

Perhaps the more interesting race now is in Congress - without a democratic majority in both the Senate and House Biden could be blocked and bogged down for years
