Re: OT: Is the UK Imploding?
It goes beyond that, although you're correct. As Cotty said, we live in a representative democracy. We vote for these people to represent our views, so for them to call a referendum is an abdication of responsibility - it's their job to make decisions, and to make them in the best interests of _all_ their constituents, not just the ones who voted for them. This is why it is never a wasted vote, even if your preferred candidate doesn't stand a chance of winning - your voice should be heard. > On 20 Nov 2018, at 15:13, Daniel J.

Re: PESO -- Abandoned and Forlorn
Compelling image. Looks like a nice bike ... or was. Used to be someone from the city/town/county would come around every so often and collect up all the lost/abandoned bikes and take them to a central "Lost and Found" where they could be reclaimed. If they weren't reclaimed after 90 days or so, they were auctioned off at the end of the year. When I was a kid, I got my first bicycle from one of those auctions. On 11/19/2018 19:30, P. J.
