You can get plastic grid squares to provide support whilst allowing grass or gravel surface

http://www.drainageshop.co.uk/groundgrid/GTE001.html?kw=pla-326453452220+m&fl=1000&ci=201616114044&network=pla&gclid=CjwKCAiA78XTBRBiEiwAGv7EKlPJSjJR8jXx0vCypbbbAAUEJOyKAklKTZrh-rTWa-kRbmHh2W8U5BoCPLUQAvD_BwE

They don’t work on wet, muddy grass, only when it’s nice and dry. They just sink right in and your back to square one. Admittedly, I bought it on a roll and about half the thickness of that, but it had disappeared within a week.

those grids are similar to the ones i used when i converted the front garden into a 2 car drive a couple of years ago, filled with gravel, they work very well

The best way to defeat the losers is to keep calm and carry on as normal, while fully supporting our intelligence and security forces.

The only one I've tried was the windscreen protector, I think it was G3


Compared to the Rain-X that I've used for years: it's much fussier to apply; it doesn't work quite as well; an application lasts about six months rather than about a month; it costs much more.


So I only bought the one lot, that cost about £20 and gave about 18months use on one car. I've since gone back to Rain-X, which costs about £5, and lasts me about 2 years across 4 vehicles.


Although I like a clean car, I'm not into the obsessive polishing - sorry - detailing that seems to require 3 different unctions for each surface. Nor do I like the entire car dipped in a vat of lacquer look that the new polishes create.

i've got 2 small bottles of G4 & G5 i've not got around to trying - had them for about 18 months - must get round to trying them

Full bottles include......

2 x 70cl Johnnie Walker Black Label in matching glossy black box.

1 x 70cl Glen Moray single malt in presentation tube.

1 x 70cl Ben Nevis Deluxe blended scotch aged 12 years in a pretty red box.

...and one unopened bottle of 'Bells' in a bottle the shape of a bell.  The label reads 6 2/3 fluid ounces and 70 proof. Pretty old this one.


In addition I have a nearly full bottle of Black Label and a bottle of Jameson Irish whiskey about two thirds full.

I'm not really fond of Scotch so I'll probably have to tip it all down the sink.

I'll swap you a cambelt DVD for the lot

from the article:-
"The attack requires both the targeted computer and the mobile phone to have malware installed on them, but once this is done the attack exploits the natural capabilities of each device to exfiltrate data"

It only works if the air-gapped PC has already been compromised - so they havent hacked anything!

The original link was to a Fail article, which would suggest that the origin/fabric of the story would be somewhat embellished either through poor reporting and researching of the facts or even a deliberate attempt to make a mountain out of a molehill.  Today's news suggests that it was a very different occurrence than what was originally reported.  Thus the OP's view was based on a falsity. 

The original link was to The Telegraph not The Daily Mail and by today's news that you refer to I assume the link to the BBC that Entwood provided.  The BBC puts a different slant on the story but dosn't contradict The Telegraph and I havn't seen any statement from M&S denying that they had such a policy towards Muslim staff. 

There was little attempt to discuss and debate this issue.  Nickbat didn't go because people disagreed with him, he's gone because people tried to censor him. 

The overreaction and snide remarks were out of line, and if certain members who don't like such threads had ignored it, then it probably would have fizzled out after 10 or 15 posts or so.  Instead they have caused a good old rumpus and a lot of bad feeling!! 

Ill concern over which paper it was. It was shoddy reporting either way, not something you see often with the torygraph tbh.

Check Sky news out too they reported in a similar vein to the BBC on the subject. Or are they pushing for a socialist agenda as well?

Sorry - Torygraph, dailyfail - evil
bbc - not evil
