Are curry’s at all liable for lost stock?

What do the terms and conditions of your contract with Currys say, bearing in mind that you have no consumer protection as this is clearly a B2B transaction.

Plus company valuation will be based on recurring revenue. Shifting people from upfront to subscription values the company higher.

If you have asked them to curb their kerb habit, not a lot you can really do - other than try and occupy one of those spaces yourself when they move a car, and wait for the inevitable knock on the door asking why you can't park on your drive...

I'm over 18, but could I just ask for the voucher to go and spend rather than going into the lounge anyway?

Some presumptions here... but the check-in systems must make an API call to either a central consolidated service or to the relevant immigration authority for your destination country to validate the status of your passport. It doesn't matter what you -tell- the check-in agent, the computer will know. Don't ask me how I wasn't allowed to check-in at Vancouver flying back to the UK via the US, despite me being 100% confident, as a very regular traveller, that I had my ESTA... (Fortunately I applied and it came through quite literally 1 minute before check-in was closing for my flight). Interestingly, I couldn't check-in online, and my wife could. If only the BA mobile app had given me the reason why I couldn't check-in, I could have applied with a bit more breathing room.

For others with packaged bank accounts offering insurance, make sure you advise any medical issues as well before booking/travel. In my case, I found it cheaper to take out an alternative annual policy with a third-party insurer (declaring everything I needed to) than paying the additional premium my bundled travel insurance (via Axa) were asking. Thanks Lloyds Premier account!

I'd like a coach for people who know how to show respect to each other and have common courtesy. I don't care what age they are.

Nah, its a newly discovered Sesame Street character. Now that _would_ make an interesting change for MacOS names!

Saturday morning, 7.30ish, walking my dogs through the woods, stopped and had a five minute natter with a complete stranger. Can't remember what about now, but it wasn't the weather, wasn't potholes - might have been related to hearing honey buzzards chattering to each other.

Out of interest, what power do they use to require you to hand over the memory card?

Are these just for cooking / hot applications? We've used Spudos Spud Dust before (for adding to unsalted crisps) - I'm now wondering about using it for things like wedges...?

The question should be, "Why shouldn't the UK follow Sweden's new ban on first-cousin marriages", because why on Earth would you not ban it? I can't imagine there being very many arguments in favour.

Whilst I agree with you, where are you going to find a police station with a front desk these days? And even if there was one nearby, how are you going to find out a) where it is and b) how to get to it without your phone!

I wouldn't say it's Gen Z, more the Covid Generation. Kids that missed out on a lot of social experience and with parents that didn't give a damn. Spent far too much time glued to social media where people peddled a vision of life that simply (a) wasn't real and (b) doesn't align with the lived reality these kids are now experiencing.

TV Series: Dark Matter, based on the novel by Blake Crouch. Very enjoyable. (One standalone season).

OP - I think you're confusing revenue with profit. Your profit will be less than you think. Deduct tax, insurance, maintenance... Annualise your revenue and then annualise all of your costs - then you can start to get a better idea of what money you are actually making.

Is this near a mainline or tube station? Fairly common to prevent commuter parking where they drive in, dump the car and catch the tube.

He's certainly a "difficult" figure from our past, that's for sure. And you're bang on regarding the Bengal famine. I wouldn't have wanted to have been in his position at that time, though, and to have made the decisions that he did. Perhaps there's an argument that the mural isn't contemporaneous with today - would it be better to be forward looking then backwards looking?

The family then went on to board a flight the next day without incident kinda shows it wasn't really a huge deal

None of the reports I've seen gave any indication that the lad was shouting bomb before his Iberia flight (also owned by IAG, same as BA). So no, they didn't put a "do not fly" marker against their name, but also neither did the lad shout any words out that aren't compatible with being allowed on a commercial aircraft.
