. . . and where do those 25 letters come from? Do you also collect them from their various points of origin, transport them to a central sorting centre, separate them from many other items heading for many other destinations, then sort them into the order of streets and street numbers before you...

I agree there is nothing to be gained by putting a man like that in jail. Perhaps a few weeks in jail so he knows what it feels like but he should lose his licence to practice medicine, repay all the money he stole, plus a hefty fine.

The problem here seems to be that one or two individual members of staff didn't have their brain engaged when they put that sign on the shelf and the whole Company is incurring the wrath of some of its customers. 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone'.

Undertake your own security check with the caller. Ask for their name, job position, location or branch address, phone number etc. Tell them you'll phone them back and hang up. Then phone the bank on a number you know to be correct and ask for that person.

I'm not blaming the Government for people being scammed. I agree with you absolutely that people need to take responsibility for themselves and I've said so many times on this platform, but we cannot identify the scammers and bring them to justice. We need Governments and law enforcement to...

My red topped general rubbish bin only goes out every 2 - 3 weeks and I've never had a maggot or smell problem. It just takes a bit of good hygiene with waste management.

'People being lazy' - that's one of the biggest problems we face.

Our FOGO goes in the green bin, recyclables are washed and put in the yellow topped bin, hardly anything goes in the general waste bin so it only goes out every 2 or 3 weeks.

Option 5B is not a correct option. Water does not freeze at zero degrees C. Zero is the melting point of ice, not the freezing point of water. Water can and usually does exist well below zero depending on its properties, eg fresh water, salty, still, moving etc. On the other hand, ice can exist...

It's because most of the scammers aren't operating from this country so our Government has very limited powers to track them down and bring them to justice. We have to work with several other Governments and put the scammers into their jails. Some of those Governments, such as Russia, are not...

Contact your bank before you make such a payment, not after. If it doesn't seem right it probably isn't. How many times do we have to say this?

Surely this is not banking fraud? The bank did nothing wrong and should not be obliged to use other people's money to reimburse somebody who did something very foolish.

Agreed. If the Banks have to compensate people for their foolishness they would have to use other people's money - our money, and that's not acceptable.

At my golf club, I believe that the club's insurance covers damage to neighbouring property for members and their guests. Non-members are liable for any damage - if you can identify them.

Years ago, a friend of mine believed you shouldn't have sex while pregnant because the baby might be born with bumps on its head.

This doesn't need to happen in this country if only our naive and foolish politicians and executives listen to the right people. We have plenty of gas. We just need to withhold enough for domestic use before we export. We need to sanction new gas field development instead of trying to stop...

There's nothing incorrect about it. British father, British citizenship, British education, British career - therefore fully entitled to be considered British.

The suggested alternatives are fine for personal letters between friends and family but the so-called 'old fashioned' terms are still expected and appropriate for business purposes. Furthermore, 'Yours faithfully' is correct for business letters. 'Yours sincerely' is more personal.

Sad as it may be, I don't believe that Banks should be held accountable for simple scams like the 'Hi Mum' scam. How could they possible prevent or intervene in a transaction they knew nothing about and had absolutely no control over until the customer realized their mistake and complained...

It's not clear from this report how the incident happened. It may have been an unfortunate accident. It seems that the passenger exacerbated the incident by refusing help so don't be too quick to judge or misjudge the airline.
