... Same with a survey for a heat pump conversion. Was not allowed to see the survey as it was confidential between the surveyor and Cornwall Council but not to worry - the company had been paid by the CC. All this is just a scam to drain the funds before actually installing anything. 2/2

All the ECO schemes are scams. Luckily I dodged the bullet with this one - surveyor can around and admitted the sprayed foam insulation in the roof would be inappropriate, but not to worry, the company had been paid for doing the survey. 1/2

Starship 1 had an estimated payload capacity. What was it in metric tonnes?
Starship 2 to 11 have had an estimated payload capacity. What were they it in metric tonnes?

Is the trend up , down or flat?

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

On India specifically, an Indian in the UK has a choice. Take UK citizenship if eligible and renounce Indian citizenship or remain Indian.
However, India being India there is always another way.
After renouncing citizenship, claim the newish OCI status - same as a citizen but no vote or passport.

Thanks for clarifying.

I thought so, but who knows what the laws are now, with all these world wide bazaari trade deals 🙂 every few months negotiated by our Great Leaders, Gurus and Helmsmen.

A State cannot make you stateless under international law (if it still exists) .... but a past UK government removed a child's citizenship, a child, and the current one is still witholding it. Shabina Begum should get her passport back, if UK citizenship is to mean anything to any of us.

India does not allow dual citizenship so not quite sure why India is on your list. Can't be British and Indian. Or does India allow it now?

Please don't ask what the missions are as I can't be bothered to remember them. I was doodling on my worksheet at the time

Because they are 'mission' driven

Exactly this.

But not even a growth plan.

Just a plan that doesn't end in societal collapse would be good.

People will pay to see that performative art.

Or at least you should apply for a grant.

I can see it now-

**the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern

** Dry Ice mist floods the space

** an Ear Wax Eater prowls around

** Crowds disgusted but mesmerized, offering their wallets just to be there.
