TMW I was just about to post that link with a comment that I am so glad I live in a place where we are protected from such cowboy traders.

TMW - this is obviously down to the individual officer involved. As the council said, they expect them to show common sense. I seem to remember John Major as head of Lambeth council had people fined if they painted windows and doors of council houses anything other than white. There are morons on both sides. (Oh unless of course you're right wing, then it's only ever the left that's abusive and stupid).

Give will always be remember for peoples out of context memories of the "had enough of experts" comments. Those comments were specifically about economic forecasters making economic forecasts. He said they keep getting them wrong. Then they got them wrong again. He was spot on about that. |

Not often I come across a problem which Brexit will actually help with, but I was just reading on the BBC news website about UK's crowded skies 'reaching capacity'. Well, when we fall out of the EU and its 'Open Skies' agreement, and no flights are possible between the UK and the rest of Europe, this problem should be a thing of the past.

Is this a similar argument to the "we are full" argument for housing, which works well for the Metropolitan London Elite, but I have trouble with when, looking out of my last office window, I could travel in a straight line and not hit another habitable building for almost 40 miles? Looking out of my office right now, I can see evidence of precisely no contrails. And I live on the most direct route from Northern Powerhouse to the mass exporters of labour in Eastern Europe. I'd suggest that the place where the skies are most full is over Heathrow, which is where almost all flights from *outside* Europe land. |

Deegee, Brexit will help with that too: http://news.sky.com/story/us-airlines-warn-no-eu-deal-on-flights-could-mean-planes-grounded-10955596. But I'm not sure that individuals being able to see contrails or otherwise is that sound a way of determining how crowded the skies are. And even if the skies are nicely empty over the Shetlands, say, London is where the planes want to land. |

J2R - no flights will be possible post Brexit anyway because apparently the sky is going to fall

Yes, SFL, I'm sure it's all a big scare over nothing. What does Michael O'Leary know about aviation anyway? Nothing by comparison with Pete down the pub who reckons it's all going to be fine.

Sure. Europe will stop us flying there. Of course they will. The Spanish tourist industry is going to love that. |
