    Is this not similar to CCTV tracking your movements and monitoring you? If so, my view still stands: if you’re not doing anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about. And if someone attempts to do something wrong, or DOES something wrong, then the aids are there to prevent them or catch them.

    weren’t Legoland supposed to be in Denmark?

    That is the home of Lego. I went to the Legoland there for a birthday once before my teens and remember being in awe at it. We also stayed at the ‘Lego Hotel’ there.

    although having said that i used to drink Coke everday when i was younger …but that was when Coke was the real thing in glass bottles!!!

    Things do taste better in bottles! Would much rather prefer a cold beer from a glass bottle than from a can.

    Pepsi is a preference for me, but if I’m in the mood for a fizzy soft drink it’s Irn Bru or Root Beer for me. Or cloudy lemonade

    Spot on 😉

    I don’t mind to be honest and would be quite happy with either, I think you’ll find going into a restaurant or bar etc sometimes that you’ll ask for Coke and you’ll see them pour a glass of Pepsi…

    Happens all the time, I don’t think anyone is that fussed are they?

    I’ve worked in a bar where Pepsi was served. 95% of the time the customer would simply ask for a ‘coke’ and for licencing/branding reasons etc we would have to ask if “Pepsi was ok?” Again, around 90-95% of customers would simply say “Yeah, that’s fine,” though some would say “Er, well….actually, what else do you have?”

    Each to their own :rolleyes:

    So if you go to the GP and, say, you’ve hurt your leg don’t be surprised if s/he asks you if you smoke and how much you drink as they get a few quid every time they ask.

    Perhaps that’s why I got a letter a few weeks back asking if I smoke/have ever smoked!

    I read somewhere (AW possibly), that Aeroflot used the Tu-144 on domestic services. Beats our 737’s/A320’s!

    Granted she was a mother and a human being, but in no way do I think what she ‘did’ in her life deserved as much (if any) coverage. There have been many more great people with as severe or more severe illnesses, that have not had as much attention – and deserved it. There are far greater things going on in this world than some loud mouth having a (granted, terminal) illness and they deserve the column inches. I am glad I won’t have to hear about this anymore (except, no doubt, the funeral coverage over the next week or so).
