@jon Did you see that (Dutch Wahl-O-Mat equivalent) included a question on ?

Recommendations please, for the best ginger biscuits.

Assume I am aware of McVities ginger nuts, and main supermarket own brands.

This is an important question.

@davidallengreen Your shortlist should include Swedish pepparkakor ginger thins.

@jon Given the existing passport and security congestion at St Pancras, Gare du Nord, and Midi, where, exactly, will these new trains operate from?

What's going on with Villach ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น - Tarvisio Boscoverde ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Just 2 Railjet, 2 regional and 1 Nightjet a day? ๐Ÿค”

I recall this used to be better. Are there engineering works somewhere messing this up?

@TimWardCam @jon There's the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing from Zermatt, CH to Breuil-Cervinia, IT. https://matterhornalpinecrossing.com/en

    @kentindell There is a special schadenfreude for brits who abused freedom of movement of labour rules to spend 5 months a year in Europe but never declared any income or residence there to avoid paying tax, while fully enjoying public services. EU27 is well rid of these economic parasites.

    The thing that nags at me with the endless โ€œthe state should run the railways!" or โ€œwe need more private firms in railways!โ€ fight is the ideological nature of it.

    Some state railways aren't very good
    Some private railway firms are likewise terrible

    And yes, the opposite is true as well - some state railways are excellent, and some private railways very good too

    Sorry if the world doesn't fit your neat ideological frame

    @jon Also overlooks various nuanced hybrid options such as private firms operating railways to a state specification on state infrastructure via competitive tender.

    Farage was not debanked by his UK bank because of his political views. Tens of thousands of British expats in Europe were, however, debanked by their UK banks because of Farage's political views.

    @kentindell Do Articles 5 and 6 of EU Directive 2009/24 provide any help in this situation? If not, then they need to be revisited. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2009/24/oj

    @kentindell Look at the list of countries the German manufacturer of my current bike ships to that does not include the UK. They do not ship to the UK since Brexit. https://www.rosebikes.com/shipping

    @kentindell The German manufacturer of my current clock radio is less reticent about why it does not ship to the UK. http://gb.teufelaudio.com/

    @kentindell You guess correctly. That is exactly what they did.

    Why do form creators hate punctuation?

    I once had trouble with an HMRC tax return. After numerous edits I eventually worked out it didnโ€™t like the ยฃ symbol. Go figure.

    And then thereโ€™s the time I caused havoc in a restaurantโ€™s system when my ; triggered an SQL commandโ€ฆ
