No, I used to have a pair before I stupidly sold them, not sure why you would assume that they would be Steve's.Originally Posted by Llanedeyrnblue
Steve just puts a Spotify playlist on and then ****s off for a fag. Everyone knows that.No, I used to have a pair before I stupidly sold them, not sure why you would assume that they would be Steve's.
Broadband in the UK. Languishing in 31st place, below such tech giants as, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Slovenia.
This
Heres a theory based on a true story.
We were once pioneers.
Which meant our once pioneering infrastructure was becoming outdated and obsolete by the time many other (previously rather lagging behind) countries decided to get all 21st Century.
In short, they all but started from scratch with new, we were saddled with an existing obsolete infrastructure that would cost a fortune to overhaul. More than could be recouped.
I think we are catching up. Sloooowly.
Policing.
Dealing with crime in general seems to have gone backwards.
Probably unfair to say a total reliance on technology to do police work, but not far off.
Also, remember the old adage 'nip it in the bud'? Clip round the ear if caught playing rat-a-tat ginger aka postman's knock by the local bobby ("the what?" you young uns may ask) usually enough to make a would be killer think again!
Grrr!
Technology that has gone backwards =
Cars that reverse
Cos you mentioned themNo, I used to have a pair before I stupidly sold them, not sure why you would assume that they would be Steve's.
Do they run on coconut oil?
If the phantom local bobby gave a misbehaving kid a clip round the ear these days, there'd be a court case for compensation, and the bobby would lose his job.Policing.

I'm joining you in theIf the phantom local bobby gave a misbehaving kid a clip round the ear these days, there'd be a court case for compensation, and the bobby would lose his job.
Though even back in the day it wasn't pc to do such a thing, a stern telling off with a "next time I will be calling on your parents" would have the same effect.
if there was someone walking the beat today and a clip was called for, he'd have technology in the form of cameras all over the place homing in on his misdemenour and society up in arms.
On this subject and a little off topic, I do have some sympathy for the police in certain situations and the PC brigade are more than partly to blame for social attitudes towards them.
Convenient to hide behind though?
Anyway, it seems that it's far more cost effective to wait til the crime develops sufficiently so that the latest in police technology intervene, the good old police helecopter can be scrambled.
They're called the police force nowadays, not the pc brigade!I'm joining you in the

As a country we have never looked/built for the long term, everything has been for the short term. This is the reason why, if we’d looked long term things wouldn’t be costing a fortune. Won the wars twice against the Germans, but lost the peace.
Things have improved quite dramatically since the Middles Ages.
Crime is probably lower now than it was back in the dayI'm joining you in the

The existing obsolete infrastructure wasn't being updated due to BT having no reason to invest and improve it. Openreach was and is an utter joke.
Coconut Oil and reversing ,never made that type of connection before
