@asentance Just spotted GBP 1.57 in Belgium

Spotted in North London this weekend - petrol at 156.9 and diesel at 184.9. These prices are over 20p/litre higher for petrol and over 40p higher for diesel than the normal pump prices just a month ago!

@optionscjp That will be the price of a Big Mac by then

Are people really panic selling $META here? This stock will be $2500 by 2035

@nonleaguevol And you can enjoy a beer pitchside right ? (Whereas banned for league matches)

Benefits of Non-League.

@v8oholic Surely could added a dash of Worcester Sauce to liven up ?

Bought these by accident. They’re disgusting and the rest are going straight in the bin 🤷‍♂️

@KevlarHannah Interestingly in Netherlands its 21% for booze / 9% for food

🍺 SPOT THE ODD ONE OUT 🍺 (Hint: it’s the one killing its own pubs) 🇫🇷 France — Hospitality VAT 10% 🇪🇸 Spain — Hospitality VAT 10% 🇮🇹 Italy — Hospitality VAT 10% 🇩🇪 Germany — Hospitality VAT 7% 🇧🇪 Belgium — Hospitality VAT 12% 🇮🇪 Ireland — Hospitality VAT 9% 🇬🇧 United Kingdom — Hospitality VAT 20% Same industry. Same food. Same drink. Same jobs. But one country decided pubs were a luxury - not a cultural asset! Then we act surprised when: 🍺 Pint prices rise 🍽️ Eating out costs more 🏚️ Pubs shut ✈️ It’s cheaper to drink abroad It’s not the pub being greedy. It’s yet more tax! You can’t squeeze pubs dry…then act surprised when they close! Share if you think UK pubs deserve fairer VAT - not a punishment rate! #GrumpyLandlord #HospitalityVAT #SpotTheOddOneOut #pubs #vat #SaveOurPubs 🍺 This needs addressing @reformparty_uk @RobertJenrick @Nigel_Farage @LeeAndersonMP_ @ZiaYusufUK @drdavidbull #reformuk

@ferrariblonde @YesterdaysBrit1 Kids on the right had choppers , they were top end bikes from memory.

@YesterdaysBrit1 We were so lucky, we didn’t have much but we had the best time. Feel sad for what we have lost but have fantastic memories. Such a shame the kids now don’t have the freedom we had ❤️🇬🇧

Not a care in the world. Part 2.

@AndyatAuto What are the figures averaged out for the whole year ?

For the sake of balance and because my timeline is always full of people proclaiming that renewables are flawed - today at noon, electricity in U.K. was generated •🌬️ Wind: 55% •☀️ Solar: 20% •🌿 Other renewables (biomass + hydro): ~3–5% •☢️ Nuclear: ~12–13% •🔥 Gas: ~6% •🌍 Imports: ~5–7% 91–92% low-carbon (renewable + nuclear). The grid didn’t fall over and won’t because that is a myth. This statistic is also, honestly meaningless. The big picture (latest full-year data) •Renewables: ~42–50% •Fossil fuels (mostly gas): ~30–36% •Nuclear: ~15–16% •Other/imports: small remainder Or simplified: ~2/3 low-carbon vs ~1/3 fossil fuels Clearly as we look to the future; and at the risk of being controversial! 1) The more sources of energy the better - wind, solar, nuclear and gas. Being at the mercy of one commodity is “rule 101 stupid”. 2) We need to break the business model where electricity prices are set by the most expensive commodity ie usually gas 3) We need to encourage the robustness of the grid in energy storage of all kinds and the robustness of the same (sometimes called inertia) 4) Decentralisation and democratisation of energy generation is enabled by technology such as solar and battery and will ultimate challenge monopolistic practices For those of us that believe in a free market, we must embrace a multitude of competing technologies; for competition will result in keener pricing For those of us who care about the planet, the use of a greater proportion coming from renewables must be welcome. So ultimately I struggle with the idea that anyone would object to a more diverse mix of energy supply or the idea that we would block the emergence of any new technology; ultimately the market will decide and I’m pretty sure the market will demand the best solutions……. emphasis on plurality!

Eep

@SandyofCthulhu Prob wouldnt be an issue today most people speak english (in shops, resturants etc)

I traveled to Belgium in the early 2000s, to pick up my son who'd spent 2 years there preaching the gospel to the wicked heathens of that land. We were in the Walloon area, and we came across some historical site. There was a big metal plaque with raised letters, explaining what had happened there. The top part of the plaque was in Dutch, the bottom part was in French. The French part had been cleaned and polished so the letters stood out clearly. The Dutch part was blackened and corroded and almost unreadable. So that was the state of affairs in Charleroi around 2004. Later we went to a restaurant in Bruges. We were having trouble communicating with the owner, so I asked my son (who speaks fluent French) if he should talk to her in French. I said, "She'd speak French, right?" He said, "Yes, she speaks French. But if I speak French to her, we'll get worse service." So we got by with broken English. Please note that Belgium is the shining gem of how all Europe can get along.

@Fintech03 Surely the emptiest place in Solar System is MK Dons when they dont give out free tickets ?

The tank on that truck is the emptiest place in the Solar System :) To keep 100 antiprotons alive for the journey, the vacuum inside the transportable trap has to be 10-100x better than the vacuum of space around the International Space Station. If a single stray molecule of regular H2 leaked into that trap during the drive, the resulting gamma-ray flash would have triggered the sensors instantly. They were literally transporting a portable void.

@AGroundsss Sbe 3rd option "dont care, whatever makes the individual happy"

Right seeing as the 92 club is hot topic Let’s vote Be interested to see, does it count if you complete the 92 with ?

@GotNotGot I can smell the bubble gum

Let's all take a moment to reflect on one of the greatest football cards ever. #gotnotgot #burnleyfc #umbro #topps

@beanz2809 Down south peeps say ...

I’ve just been robbed in broad daylight (well, twilight). I’ve been charged £3 for driving into a car park, stopping for 60 seconds whilst I picked up my passengers, and driving out. Whole transaction from entry to exit, probably 3 minutes! Newcastle Airport is an utter joke!!

@gadgetweetin Why do you care / Feel you should look down on people doing what makes them happy ? Live and Let live surely

Danny Dyer seems to be trending. On my feed anyway. Totally agree with him on supporting your club. Bristol Rovers & proud. No idea how people support a team 100s of miles away. They’ll never ‘get it’. That connection. Bristol should be Rovers and City. Anything else is just odd.

Last day walking around Madrid. This is so fucked up.

@Jimmyking35 Craven cottage ,but its more toffs ahouting "have a spiffing game chaps" whilst rowing

I’m genuinely curious how many stadiums in the world have a view where cargo ships go by and toot their little horn to say hello
