Let’s start to think about a post-pandemic PB gathering – politicalbetting.com
I have been reminded that it is now more than four years since we had a PB gathering. In recent years these had taken place in pubs in central London where Fat Steve had arranged for a specific area to be allocated to us.

Are many PBers in reach of the Lakes for an event? PB levelling up policy.
Or is this not doable?
The others treating it with all the drama of a planning application for a garden shed in Little Dunny on the Wold Parish Council....
That said, I haven't been in those parts for a few months. Has it survived?
Just over 2% of Spaniards offered a coronavirus vaccine have rejected it, including people who avoided the shot for medical reasons, the health ministry said on Thursday.

This is a 2 bed flat
They insist the bill is accurate
however they tried to charge him 912 for his first month - after much debate they agreed it should be 67
In October they asked for 781 for 3 months - after much debate they said it was actually 71
Now they asked for 541 - after he read the meter they said he actually owes 1327.....
the day readings seem ok - the night meter reading shows a tripling of the number shown over the 3 months
Who the hell do I complain to?
There seems no way he could have used that much even if he wanted to
In the meantime, can you work out their mistake?
Is the original reading wrong? Did your son take his own when he moved in?
This is one of those special Guardian word-definitions, where “controversial” means “it dismays three people in Islington”
Either that or if it's a smart meter it might be faulty.
Sure, she’d probably hang, but that’s the legal system there. And Begum was happy to see enemies of Isis blown up, or burned alive, with no trial at all
If you have no gas (which I'm assuming) then check the timer on the immersion heater at night. Mine was ignored by the previous tenants and set to run for 8 hours a night (as it was an Economy 7 timer which I'm not on).
Additionally - and this was unbelievable - the flat had been wired incorrectly when built so my kitchen ring main powered one socket in a neighbours flat (and vice versa) (which they took advantage of by plugging in all sorts of heaters).
I would turn off your electricity completely at the main box and then see if you can power anything in the flat.
If nothing suspect then unplug literally everything for 24 hours and see what the meter reports. Someone may have plugged into your supply.
I don't know if it's COVID-related, or a Snow Patrol thing, but the tickets were very reasonable - $75 each for top tier.
Am I about to break the hearts of so many PBers and the new found love for Lord Reed and SCOTUK when I post how he ruled in say the 2019 prorogation controversy ?
We figured we didn't need to notice/tell the electricity company and got about 18 months of cheap daytime heating and everything else, which made up for what we'd lost. Eventually meter reader spotted the error and a new meter was fitted. Neither us nor the electricity company asked to adjust earlier bills. I'd say we came out ahead.
This could be a possible explanation, if manually turning things on at night/setting timers for when it should be cheap, but maybe isn't.
If it is 3 or 4 times too high, then the current reading may well be below the number on the bill.
The other one I can think of is if he has a specialist tariff that he is using in precisely the wrong way.
Or, maybe, if has electric heating running during the day in winter? Does he have those 'magic' direct heaters that they sell as 'better than storage' installed?
The actual level of proof isn't any higher. The issue the lawyer was referring to is that basically anyone in a freedom fighting organisation* would be guilty.
The instance I was discussing, at the time, was the PIRA. Under the doctrine of command responsibility, if you proved that the PIRA leadership authorised a pub bombing campaign (which they did), then the entire PIRA leadership are war criminals.

The impression I get is that the SNP members are attempting to talk the committee out of time, so will be interesting to see if the Convener is independent enough to allow an extension.
I cannot tell you the suggestions on my phone for months afterwards I googled directions to Dirty Dicks.

Yes, there are parallels with Brexit - it would be wrong to say that there aren't.
Those fishermen who fought so hard for Brexit against a background of their industry falling apart, have emerged to find - another huge headache for their industry. That's not to say I don't think that it will work out for those fishermen eventually, and that they will prosper, but it does go to show that as a general rule 'I am an unhappy person now, but if X happens I will thenceforth be happy' is just not true. You're the same person with the same demons - or you're still a happy person that things generally work out for before and after.
If we do have Indyref2 in the near future, there's going to be two competing Yes campaigns, which should add to the gaiety of the nation.
Solved it by fitting a timer switch - you push a button and it would run for 1 or 2 hours, then switch back off.

SCOTUK could have had their Marbury moment with Miller but the findings were not the power grab as happened under SCOTUS Chief Justice Marshall.
Now Moorlands pub
A trip would usually be proceeded by a 5 min Beavis and Butthead type conversation including the phrase fancy fannys
2. She was a child.
3. This is state overreach; today because you join ISIS and want to blow up your fellow countrymen; tomorrow is that a Hawaiian pizza I see you have there, sir?
Your welcome.

British Gas were adamant they were right even though factories didn't use that much gas.
It took some effort but eventually I sorted it.
Anyhoo, best thing you can do, put down a formal complaint, I think they have 12 weeks to reply, if it goes to deadlock or you aren't satisfied, take it to the Ombudsman. But put down a formal complaint ASAP.
I'm happy to help, send me a message.
One or thing to check, get your son to get his credit report, it is entirely possible that his supplier have reported late payments and trashed his credit score.
It's You're welcome.
If I need to track my usage I take a reading weekly, and use a clamp meter plus a power-monitor plug.
Any of you pretty ladies fancy some cock inn action?
In both cases the court found it had the power to intervene. It took the view that it should intervene in the prorogation case because the government was taking the piss (which it was): the government's refusal to give any account under oath for its actions may well have proven fatal to its case. You seem to have forgotten that at the time of the purported prorogation Britain had a Prime Minister who had not been elected at a general election, who did not command a majority in Parliament and indeed had not won a vote in Parliament pursuing a policy that had not been put before the British public and using prorogation as a tool to impose that irreversibly.
In the present case it took the view that the government had acted within the wide latitude granted to governments when taking decisions. Which, given that the Home Secretary was exercising statutory powers given to them in an extreme case, is not all that surprising.
The main consequence of the prorogation case was political. The public decided, unlike in the USA, that they were AOK with self-coups. As a result Britain now has a government with a light attachment to democracy and an extreme aversion to any form of accountability enthusiastically supported by a self-radicalised posse who are quite willing to overlook anything it does, up to and including the avoidable deaths of tens of thousands.

Can somebody perhaps point him in the direction of getting Nicola Sturgeon standing down in disgrace for having lied as something he instead might want to put on, oh I don't know, his election literature?
Britain and the European Union are nearing agreement on how to cooperate on financial market rules -- a first, limited step toward working together after Brexit.
The two sides are proposing a joint forum for discussing regulations and sharing information, though this accord won’t require them to open markets through so-called equivalence decisions, according to a draft memorandum of understanding seen by Bloomberg News.
The forum would lead to “informal consultations concerning decisions to adopt, suspend or withdraw equivalence,” according to the draft. Each side will keep the power to make and change its own rules.

Compelling.
Also, the error we are currently discussing is 4 figures.
Plus they can cause problems when switching suppliers.
