As a trade unionist I hesitate to criticize a fellow organisation, but I have to say this does Trades Unions in general no favours. If you ban the army from visiting schools, you also should ban most UK (& worldwide) companies which support the armed forces in some way or other, plus any MPs or government organisations that also diectly or indirectly support the armed forces or UK Ministry of

Got a letter from Comet today which said, in summary, 'Our PCs will only last a year - if they fail after that you will have to pay to fix them. How about paying us another £60 a year for a warranty?'...Cheeky Beggars! Now correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding of the Sale of Goods Act is that goods must be (& I quote the act here) 'fit for all the purposes for which goods of the kind in

My good lady informs me that New Look in the Traffic Centre have stopped doing clothes for the larger (read realistic) sized ladies. An embarrassed assistant, when asked, said ''We didn't have room for the larger size section, so we've don't do them any more.'' I suppose they make enough dosh from anorexic teenage girls to not worry about the wider (oops) market? (Just when other retailers and

Fender do a Joe Strummer Limited Edition 'Relic' Cool, I suppose? And spooky in that it's happened just after I went looking for pictures of the original. When I looked, just the one or two pics. Now, loads of pics of the replica in all the shops.

thinkbroadband: The UK's largest independent ADSL review site - Your guide to UK broadband Internet. Also watch out for www.adslguide.com - I think it's a commercial site cashing in on the success of the original. Claims to let you 'find and compare all the major broadband services'. But when you compare with those recommended by users on ThinkBroadband.com there are quite a few left out!

BBC - Food - Recipes - Caldo verde (Portuguese green soup) Tried making this the other day...several things to note: 1)The recipe in the book lists Port as one of the ingredients - guess who didn't read the recipe all the way through and bought a seemingly unneccessary bottle of port? Doh! (Tastes OK tho!) 2) When it says continue sweating the onions and sausage I think you'd have to let them

At the Crossroads An interesting and low key blog about 'things SES' ...though I haven't brought myself to read it all yet...don't want to really as my mind seems to slip into that sanctimonious, 'holier than thou', Queen's speech/BBC received pronunciation that SES people seemed to love to speak when I last had any contact with that organisation. I also noted that the blog header proclaims 'A

School abuse inquiry - special report - news - channel4.com A fairly even handed report on the outcome of the limited scope St Vedast and St James Independent Schools Abuse Enquiry. Perhaps more focus could have been given to the governors' claim that this was the first they knew of this. I am sure some of them are the same governors that were there 20+ years ago and some of the new governors
