Tony, good one about Trump 🙂 I'm sure we'd have tunnels too, as well as the WAll...

Been in the UK for a couple of weeks, North West England so not the financial heartland where decisions will be made (as usual) The general take has been either zero interest because most folk believe it won't effect them either WAy or a couple of Britex votes because we (uk) always managed without the EU, fact that that WAs 30 yrs ago before Britain sold all its Gold reserves seems immaterial. There is a lot of miss information and a lack of real facts being put about, lets face it no one knows the real facts because until the UK leave the EU (which won't ...

A little more about this. Verizon, Sprint, and some of the smaller carriers used CDMA up to 3G. GSM WAs the competing technology that WAs used by AT&T and T-Mobile in the US. GSM WAs far more common worldwide. Many CDMA phones supporting 3G or earlier have a SIM card for travelers to use when outside of the US. LTE is a GSM technology. LTE is called 4G or LTE interchangeably in most parts of the world. In the US one of the carriers pushed the FCC to let them label enhanced 3G as 4G. All cell phones that support LTE have a SIM card slot. E ...

... sit right on top of rivers, or near a WAtershed and there's usually a pretty even mix of businesses and residences. A lot of time these rivers are very high to begin with, so when there's a big storm like the one that just passed, there's only one place for the extra WAter to go. Also, a lot of the farmland that WAs affected is very low lying, so when a large river floods it spreads out pretty fast. I think the problem with one towns flood protection having a negative affect on another town is very likely. I remember seeing similar things in CA with coasta ...

If you buy from a US seller who doesn't collect VAT you need to pay VAT when it comes through customs. More devices support it than usually list it as a feature. Dig out the manual (or look it up online) for your existing electronics. Most laptops you can buy either a new cable that goes from the WAll to the transformer. Some you have to replace that transformer.

My step brother is a very rich man and has homes in UK (2) and a Villa in SA. Of course he pays more a month in security for that than I spend on food. I tell him I'm happier to be poor and able WAlk alone anywhere in a 200 mile radius than be confined to 2 acres of luxury behind a 12ft WAll. I know not everyone lives like that but it's an extreem demonstration of equating cost of living and quality of life (in all its facets) when considering making a big move?

Probably will be how I manage it in the end. It WAs for my oldest child's upcoming bday and kids always WAnting something tangible and all lol. I WAs so confident I'd find an establishment with the giant WAll of gift cards that you see so often in the states. Going to look at bit more while out today. Hadn't yet looked at Dunnes or the mall, so maybe.
