Re: Sobering thought

I've paid £4 a pint for 'real ale' in touristy Windsor - but ten yards away in an equally good pub it's £3-60.
Head down the hill to a well-run Lloyds bar (Wetherspoon's premium brand!)and you can get a decent pint for [more]

Sort of thing I'd check on Snopes if it appeared on Facebook, but this is the BBC so it must be true !
Worth noting.

iPlayer, how soon are progs available?

Went to download Ep 2 of 'Bankers' on the BBC iPlayer (on my phone) and it hasn't got a 'downlod' button. Episode 1 is downloadable. Is there a fixed period before progs become available, or is it just a matter of waiting until they get round to it? [more]

Re: Poll: EU membership vote ahoy!

Re: Poll: EU membership vote ahoy!

(Replace 'Cambridge' with 'Scotland' and you've got the Salmond argument...)

Anyways, it's not a fair comparison as Cambridge didn't survive independently for 1,000 years then suddenly join up with the surrounding UK in the 1970s onwards.

Re: Best book on English grammar

Fowler's 'Modern English Usage' is the classic, but probably too long.
Have a look on Amazon and see what else people have been buying instead of/after looking at it.

You're not comparing like with like. It's like saying your curent Range Rover HSE does fewer mpg than you old Austin Maxi.
A DAB radio does a lot more than an old tranny portable
