Anybody remember a thread from a few weeks ago?

I think it was posted by either Tommy or Irene and it basically said that to fix the economy, all workers over the age of 50 should retire and be given £1,000,000 by the government, with certain provisos. Anyway, I sent it off the Jack Straw, my M.P....

Cross-Channel ferry day returns v standard returns

I've noticed that a standard return ferry ticket (returning, say, one week later than outward trip) is more expensive than 2 day-trip tickets. Is there any reason why you can't buy a day return for the outward day and another day return for the retur...

They do it in aid of a charity. With shows where there is a cash prize, OK, the winnings go to the charity But what about programmes like Celebrity Mastermind, where there is no cash prize. How does that work, and how do the charities benefit.
