    That’s what “in yer face” hype is for!! They’d certainly have had egg on their face if it hadn’t!;) I sometimes wonder how much smaller their beloved audience figures would be if the BBC didn’t spend hours of broadcasting time each week publicising and endlessly trailing their programmes.

    It is called ADVERTISING. Lots of companies do it to increase sales etc. Works quite well apparently.

    The Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode was very good and I suspect its success is quite embarrassing to the anti-BBC brigade. :highly_amused:

    We had a similar icing issue on a 4-engined British airliner a few years ago. It was the aircraft maunfacturer , in conjunction with the engine manufacturer, that had to fix it.
    The engine is installed on a Boeing aircraft so Boeing will be responsible for getting the probelem fixed. Obviously GE will involved but it will be Boeing’s problem.

    I think that one of the problems with this forum, and it seems to be unusual in this regard, can be seen in some posts above and that is dreadful thread drift. Some members seem to treat the forum as some sort of personal messaging service between mates. It is fairly irritating to log on of a morning to see responses to a thread you’ve perhaps taken part in and it turns out be posts full of drivel and personal chit-chat. Other forums that I subscribe to have strict rules about thread drift but this one doesn’t.
    Insults directed at those who simply disagree needs to be stopped as well.

    I think is appropriate

    but hopefully this when his political career stumbles to halt when the UK public see through what are laughingly called policies.

    Easter eggs

    Apparently they’re already on sale in Lincolnshire. Just next to the six-fingered gloves.

    I know ! How annoying. Imagine using the post office to post things. And in their own time as well. Outrageous behaviour.

    Or use that loose change to buy “TV Choice” magazine, a bargain at only 38p. You get maybe get a copy at the Post Office when you’re in next.
