Every organisation concerning public service where employees are working from home is a disaster in my opinion. The obvious reasons for this are that communications go astray, clerical staff are unable to collate and disseminate information and the home workers are generally not working...

How do they differ?

American ammunition manufacturers make plenty of ammo for metric calibres but with the exception of now obsolete Remington 5mm RF I cannot recall any original US calibres being metric. Perhaps you could find one or two examples.

If remain had won the EU would see it as a green light to continue on the road to further integration. That would fuel further leave pressure than ever before. Now the EU seems to have taken on board some of the lessons given but it matters little to us now. It is a pity that our politicians did...

And more probably would not have. Who knows?

I have hilarious recollections of staying in a country hotel in Limoges. As is common in France we booked a family room for myself, wife and two daughters. There was an en suite shower behind a heavy curtain and, upon reaching through to turn the device on, the shower head rose up off the wall...
