In the UK, if I pay cashless, I am always offered the option of having a receipt or not, I have never paid cashless without first checking the amount for accuracy. Col

It's called the Greenstead Roundabout at the eastern end of St Andrews Ave leading to Clacton. Col

We have a roundabout in Colchester where cars and lorries can go round both the right way and the wrong way. Col

Doc, I agree that in exceptional circumstances, and I can't imagine how difficult it was for you, a mobile phone is a lifeline. Hats off to you. Col

I'm sure there are some politically obsessed here who will blame the left/right/liberals/democrats/republicans. Best option? Don't have a mobile phone. Col

Totally wrong. I'm not interested in gun control or Liberal this or republican or democrat that. Its just a simple question. If that is too difficult to understand then forget it. Don't turn every thread into a political thing like Pat does. Look, if you have a bad storm and the wind reaches in...

Delete the thread then if you don't like it. I couldn't care what you do. Col

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the contents of your reply. On the UK news they just refer to a mass killing or mass shooting, how many killed or injured etc. I did read somewhere that if 4 or more people are murdered then it is a mass killing. Less than 4 killed is just routine and...

The BBC news reported today on another mass shooting in Alabama. Four killed and several wounded. The report stated that there had been over 400 mass shootings in the USA this year. I wondered what the criteria is that constitutes a mass shooting, as opposed to the common daily killing of one or...

That's a bit suspect. Why are the shop signs written backwards? Spot the Ladbroke sign written from right to left. Also, 8pm is too early for night revellers, Colchester doesn't get going till 10 and goes on till around 2am when the clubs close, that's when you get the drunken youths having...

I dont get it. a) why did Mr Trump say it if its not true? He said he saw it on TV. b) why did Mr Trumps advisors not tell him it was untrue? c) did Mr Trump believe it was true? Or does he regularly tell lies. BTW, Miss Markel is disliked by many people in the UK, especially the press. Its...

I've never seen The Simpsons. I think I read it somewhere. What is a mystery is why do they eat cats and dogs in Springfield? Is it just limited to that area or is it a nationwide phenomenon that has been kept quiet until Mr Trump decided to tell the world. Col

Isn't Springfield where Mr Trump said that they eat cats and dogs? I thought Springfield was a make believe cartoon place, didn't realise it was real. Col

How did you hear about that? It was in the 1970's and there was a gang of us - all absolutely ratassed, it was a stag night. Actually we met up with the hen party and they stripped to bra and pants, quite a night as I recall. Col

'Server' sounds like a slave, like a housekeeper or a sex worker. Col

In Essex a year or 2 ago, we had 1/4 to 1/2 inch of snow. Schools closed, buses stopped, shops closed early, drivers warned not to go out unless urgent. I walked over to our paper shop but no papers. Delivery vans not delivering. In the UK, we take health and safety to the extreme, it's totally...

I dont 'attack' you. I pick up on things you say, which in some cases differ from thread to thread, then I question it, then you get abusive. It's quite simple. Oh incidentally, I don't 'let things go'. Col

Yes you do. Shall I remind you what you said to me? I know for sure if I had said it, I would be banned. But obviously you can get away with it. Col

It's odd that it seems Americans use the word 'servers' as opposed to the correct term of 'waiter' or 'waitress'. So your order sir is poodle and fries? Thanks to Mr Trump, all the British news stations number one item are saying some Americans eat cats and dogs. I checked the Spanish and...

I dont have a job. I scrounge off the state. You know, the people you hate and shouldn't be allowed to vote because we're second class citizens. Col
