Re: Electricity meter certificate expired
I am on the receiving end of constant harassment by Scottish Power to have a smart meter. As a qualified electrical engineer I am smart enough to read my own meter! It now appears that they have blocked my ability to submit meter readings either online or by phone!

Re: Warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals
When I was a member of BARG and various other aviation enthusiast groups 40 something years ago, I was told by a senior society member that MI5 had a membership list.

Re: Bristol Beaufighter Found (23/06/23)
I know that the Grimsby Telegraph are totally useless as regards getting facts correct, but this find was made in May 2020 and published then.

Re: The Ukraine Situation
Unfortunately we no longer have any journalists with the calibre to turn the screw and put things like Lavrov in their place.

Re: Alleged UFO or UAP, 1990, Calvine, Scotland
The Binbrook story actually came from a Lightning pilot! Some of them used to visit the spotters at crash gate 3 occasionally, and one once said "did any of you see the stealth last night?"

Re: Tempest - Britain's new stealth fighter
I just hope that they build something with a decent range/endurance that doesn't need to plug into a tanker (of which we have very limited numbers) almost as soon as it leaves the ground in order to do anything useful.

Re: Road accident nuisance phone calls
I too have a BT8500 phone, set to reject withheld, unavailable, international, 00 and several other number blocks, as well as a whole lot of scam and fake numbers.
