Whilst I'm not really expecting it to last, at the moment it remains very much a hands-off ownership. Having been with them since about 2002, not much has changed since BT bought them out. The moment it does, I'm out.
Don't discount Plusnet just because they're owned by BT, the two consumer divisions are run quite differently.
Sorry... Germany has hypermarkets and France doesn't? Carrefour pioneered the hypermarket concept in Europe, decades before they appeared elsewhere in other European countries.
The obesity difference between the two is more to do with one countries preference for potatoes and beer, and the other's for salad and wine.

Ah, the tradition never fails.
Most grammarians would hold that your first comma belongs inside the quote. I understand why you put it outside
American grammarians yes. British English has diverged and commas are outside the quotes. A recent development is the full stop (period) has moved back within the quote if it ends the sentence, having previously been outside - both forms are often encountered though.
Our school system is much less anal about grammer over here, so changes do occur much quicker.
It's not widely used.
Most of the world uses L/100km.
37p per min? Where the hell are you getting that figure from. Vodafone is currently 20p/min payg.
And even then vodafone's a bad example. There are cheaper payg providers that'll place your 130 minutes at less than £15 per month.
Pornography is vulgar, candid, cynical, obscene depiction of sexual acts, pursuing no other goal, the explicit demonstration of genitals, unethical elements of the sexual act, sexual perversions, realistic sketches that do not meet moral criteria and offend honour and dignity of the human by inciting low instincts.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Justice has added, however, that pornography may be used "for medicinal purposes".
Not in England. One Imperial pint = 20 imperial fl.oz or 568ml.
Yes, it's an EU requirement. Like most EU requirements though some countries ignore it...

While Buffalo is certainly no London England
You might be surprised to check out the rainfall in London - about 600mm over the year, which is 23in.
He was forced to so as it was the end of a 5 year term. As will Brown have to do by 2010.
And as Callaghan did in 1979 having become PM mid term in 1976.
Brown isn't the first mid-term change, and he won't be the last. It's happened many many times in the past, and I'm sure will happen again in the future.
I'm no fan of him; attack Brown for being an idiot sure, but claiming he has no mandate is completely unprecedented.
