See, you may laugh but the landlord now knows that the water is still flowing, so the cause isn't an area-wide outage or a burst pipe, but instead there's a fault in the system that heats the water.

A drone that hits a storage tank containing billions of litres of flammable fuel is the best way to get a bang for the buck - especially because there are probably billions of litres more in other nearby tanks. Sound strategy.

Yes, it's nonsense. In 2050 if they aren't carbon neutral, they haven't broken any laws so there'll be no punishment. So why not announce lofty goals?

It'd be called 'obstructing traffic'. Police sometimes grab boy-racers along the sea-front near my home for it. There's no specific law saying you can't wait at a T-junction indefinitely, and i usually get stuck behind the ones that do. :-(

We've had this system in the uk for a few years now and it's excellent. You can set up an overdraft amount with the bank. If it's nil, all transactions that would send you overdrawn would not be paid. Payments that take you below zero but within the agreed amount cost interest of 40% (so it would cost 400pounds to borrow 1000 for a year). That's a steep rate of interest, but there are no fees. If i borrow 1000 pounds for a day, the cost is 1pounds10p. I can take 100 pounds out 10 times in a day, pay it all back the next day, 1.10 in interest. I've no argument with that!

This is what is happening in real life. You work minimum wage in a shop, get promoted to manager and get almost no increase in pay. You're supposed to be happy about getting the 'promotion'. so soon we'll all be on the same minimum wage!

Gosh, she really dodged a bullet there. Oh, wait; maybe she didn't........
