Not the drawing table? Easy! It's a dinner table with seating for six!
Sunak: But they are profitable for my family!
Well, then it is time to make non-green energy unprofitable.
I'm shocked! A billionaire politician -- corrupt! Who would have thought!
... instead there will be mobile units to generate more penalties. (TfL, probably, if pressed for the truth)
I passed! And I'm neither British, no do I aim at British citizenship. Will I get a consolation prize instead?
that would be great but we’ve been moving in the opposite direction.
Well, maybe the UK will return to civilisation before HS2 is finished...
One wall in the living room is just books. The other books are in the studio or in boxes in the basement or attic. And they have been read, some of them several times over. Only exceptions are my wifes' professional books which I haven't read, and my professional ones that she has not read...
And of course there are ebooks, too. Mostly the Project Gutenberg ones, but also bought ones. Or ones I got as reference work for contributing or editing.
Let's put it this way: Any HS2 that is not connected to the HS1 is a stupid idea from the beginning.
Do you really imagine people coming from the EU wanting to drag all their stuff through the f-ing Tube to reach the connecting bullet train to the north? Heck, this is already a pain in the ass with the crappy normal trains in the UK. I once needed to go from Hastings to Cambridge by train, and vividly remember having to walk between Kings Cross and Kings Cross Themselink (and back) with a load of luggage and a handicapped wife.
I remember driving home from the supermarket with my bike, with four cases of drinks (soda, water) and a week worth of shopping. Most of the road was about flat, but the final piece uphill was a pain in the ass...
It's quite obvious why it's that cheap: "Grade II Listed" (particularly important buildings of more than special interest.)
It is a former care home, and you probably have to turn it inside out and upside down before you can use it for something else. Except that you can't because it is Grade II Listed.
