I think in this case one hand would be sufficient,perhaps even pinch between thumb and index finger would be more appropriate.

Weed the oldies out.
Grind them up and mix them with the horse meat.
It's the only sensible solution.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

and don't forget senior member will be working full time with IPS sorting unlike young part timers. They also might be using public transport instead of working from back of a car. It is not a race.

Have you been eating those dodgy takeaways that they can't decide what the mystery meat is - worry no more, I believe it's the waste from the bar mitzvahs from the synagogues :cuppa

All depends on supply and demand, I don't expect things to improve with more EU member state citizens moving here. Instead of terms and conditions being driven by the UK they are now driven by the EU where even our poorest paid employees are considered reasonably affluent.


Whilst I agree with the EU and freedom of movement it needs to be fair to all countries which up until now it hasn't been, a bit like DSA.
