I have read this thread in its entirety. I disagree, and do not think you may speak for me. Apologise for what? No one has offended me, and I...
I noticed on the BBC News that the price of oil was falling slightly around the world in consequence. With Japan as one of the world's largest...
There is no religious debate going on here. There is a spirited discussion about the meaning and definition of religion within the context of an...
I used to pop in to Windmill Road quite regularly when I worked in Croydon. Bit of an Aladdin's cave, with some very interesting corners to...
Where's our fun in that!
Sort of. I don't use smileys, but if I did, the irony one would have been most appropriate. One can no more say heating is a luxury than one can...
Which reads as if it means I have no right to take a photograph in a public place (keeping the examples consistent) unless a precedent has been...

Nothing forthcoming, then. Give it a go. See if there's a distinction to be made that makes sense and is demonstrably self-evident. See if...
The previous census (2001) asked "What is your religion" and the first answer box offered said "None". This census form asks the same question has...
