Speaker: The government's Rules…, in reply to Ross Mason,
An aside..
Only then did VW concede the cars had a cheat device.
That cheat device is interesting, it actually proves that you can reduce NOx emissions (caused by running a diesel efficiently) quite simply, by using Urea something this country has in bucket loads.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
Well, that worked out just fine for the US, the country that John Key idolises but, Nah, we can't afford it. Apparently we need more billionaire businessmen, regardless of who they are or where they come from.

- what pisses them off is when they have to wait around half a day for someone who then only does a half-arsed job of checking anyway.
And abides by the tainted rules based on increasing profits for the few.
And... if your contractor didn't set the foundations out correctly then he was not a builder... caveat emptor an all that, never use an unknown builder, do not trust those "registered master builder" stickers to mean anything, reputation is king. -

We built a house about 6 years ago and had major problems with a supplier
What exactly was the problem?

Speaker: The government's Rules…, in reply to Roger Lacey,
It seems a convenient smokescreen to distract attention from the problem of cartels, protectionism, kickbacks and price gouging in the building supplies industry.
You hit the nail on the head there...

Polity: So who exactly placed conditions…, in reply to Joe Wylie,
There were also vernacular versions, e.g.
I'm out of work and on the dole
Go stick your red flag up your holeand
So shove your red flag up your arse
I've got the foreman's job at last"Iv'e got the PM's job, I like it,
I'll put your State house on the Market" -
Polity: So who exactly placed conditions…, in reply to simon g,
People not bothering to read previous comments and links is one of the more irritating features of internet discussions ...

Flag referendum: Red Peak design to be added as fifth option - John Key
"In the end, I'm not wanting to be the one that stands in the way of people having some choice."
Yeah, erm, right, it was Labours fault...
The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold.Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.Yes, Labour never wanted a Red Flag.

Speaker: The government's Rules…, in reply to Matthew Poole,
How many of the builders who spent their early years under National4 would you trust to build you a dog house?
That point is moot, I wouldn't but then why hire someone to do what you should be able to do yourself. Having a Prime Minister that can't even hit a nail on the head does not mean the rest of the country are an incompetent hamfisted wunch of Bankers.
