  1. Yes I know, but it's such small quantities. And that would fall foul of the EU directive anyway. It still doesn't get around urban sewarage though
  2. which is fine if you have a lot of land, but as we don't that would be a major problem. And wouldn't that be the end of Holland as about a third of the country is below sea level and a third in the nap level. Is that what the EU is about. Or would the dutch, who have kept the water off the alluvial plains for 100's of years be best to do what is right for them.
  3. I'm just wondering if you have read the directive or not. It seems they are trying for a uniform policy on water quality and management , with the same rules applying to the alps region, to the drought regions of Andalucia and to the low countries. I'm not sure that would be wise. Certainly the European landmass will have far different problems to an Island. But it seems it should all be treated the same
  4. didn't they play an unregistered player against us in the league cup aswell
  5. yup just this ^^ If you are a long term injury why not exclude him from the 25.
  6. makes you wonder now what is going on. I can understand the police action, if it happened right next to the station, they have to do something, but when it gets to the CPS, well god knows
  7. Are you sure no one would? Not one person?
  8. I'm not sure I follow what you mean. What do you think reality is in this case.? When I mentioned emea and the US, That still covers the uk
  9. It was my line of work for 20 years, not in the Supermarket as such but the distribution network. I sold and implemented systems all over emea and the US. So yes I have seen all that and more. And I also agree that few would take a box of cakes dripping with bleach. But would someone pick up a lettuce not noticing the broken glass amongst the leaves, or a bunch of celery not noticing the slug repellent, or a piece of good old smelly gorgonzola, and not really notice the ammonia from l'oreal hair colours that had spilled on it. And if any of these things happened once would they then say, Oh well just my luck, its not really fair to take a big supermarket to court over
  10. Supermarkets throw away large amounts of food. It's not because it's got bleach on it (odd idea) but because it was unsold by the sell-by date. They don't like attention being drawn to this. Bad PR. Why would you think that's odd Peter. They throw loads of stuff away, Yes. But they also have breakages, you must have seen the little signs they put up, " carefull spillage" whilst they mop up. What do you think they do with this broken glass, or bottles of cleaning stuff, or bleach etc. What do you think happens then. They put it in the bin. They don't look in the bin and say mmm there's some food in there, I'll leave this for another day. It goes in the bin regardless
  11. What food in a bin couldn't be contaminated? Get real. Most food that goes into the bins will the short life stuff like bread and fruit and veg. The stuff that gets damaged will be sold at reduced prices. You can see these in an area in any Supermarket. They can still sell it legally. What they cant sell is the split packs where it will be below the stated weight. So a great deal in the bin will be open to the elements. So going back to my original point The fresh stuff gets thrown out daily, then the breakages, whether that be food or non food. It all goes to the same bins
  12. No It's not very good PR for iceland, but what would be a lot worse and a lot more expensive would be a death and a court case. As for the ordering mechanisms, I used to sell them all over the world. They are not cheap but they do work. Anyway to the point at issue. I am sure plenty of people would not try taking them to court if there was something wrong with the food. But It only takes 1 person to do so.
  13. Yes I know they do, but they have ordering mechanisms in place to keep that to a minimum as best they can. Now if One of the staff throw away a load of veg, then another staff member chucks 3 split packs of slug repellent into the same bin. Then someone takes the food from the bin and gets poisoned, what do you think would happen next. I think the prosecution here is to reduce the risk of them being taken to court.
  14. I don't think its that at all, If the Supermarket throw it away it's because there is something wrong with it, who knows, out of code, gone off, or it might be contaminated in someway. Maybe cleaning fluid, bleach etc on it. Well in todays world, it would be straight onto a no win, no fee Lawyer and all the bad publicity that goes with that.
  15. As much as I dislike the man, I can't see what he has done wrong. He doesn't make the rules, he fights against them. Unless you think the rules only apply to the people who are in favour of the EU.
  16. Here's a scenario. a player tries a back heel. Just before he touches the ball, a defender knocks the ball away. There is minor contact. So is this a sending off? The player back heeling makes contact studs up
  17. I wish you had have made it with the Villa Kev. Seeing as you're named after your Dad we could have sung 2 Kev Grealish, there's only 2 Kev Grealish
  18. So reading the above posts 1.6% tax increase changes you from a good socialist to a right wing nut job
  19. It depends No it wasn't the case at all EDIT: and an awful lot of Wilson's closures were actually exhausted seams, you can't mine what isn't there, not the case under the witch That doesn't seem to be correct to me. Mind you it depends what an awful lot is. more or less than 50%. Even if it were 50% That would still mean about 100 were closed when they were not exhausted. I also find it hard to believe that in a 6 year period mines ran out of fuel at more than one a month
  20. What's the tune that is sung to, I hear it at every game these days sloop john b
  21. That's got to be some sort of record hasn't it. A topic about Scargill, then 11 posts until Tories are Bastards
  22. So pretty much most of Western Europe then and a good chunk of the far east
  23. but wasn't all this going on in the early 70's. I'm sure stat oil was set up then. Isn't that when the oil fields were discovered. And Prior to the Oil crisis when Oil prices shot up, wasn't it deemed not viable for both us and the Norwegians to drill for Oil before that. And when it became viable, were we not going cap in hand to the IMF, and put the British economy under IMF supervision, So not able to increase public spending, certainly not able to afford the massive capital investment.
