It appears that you don't seem to understand the difference between simply using a map and navigating. The OP asked about road numbers because, presumably, that's what's annyoing him. Try it for yourself. Open Google Maps. Enter a landmark. The map zooms to the landmark and sometimes the road numbers/names are displayed, as well as the names of other buildings landmarks in the area. This can be extremely useful for knowing what area the pin is in. Unfortunately when you pinch to zoom, the names of these places appear and disappear as Google decides it knows best what you need to see.

The OP is talking about using Google Maps on his phone. There was no mention of him using it for live navigation. It is also one of my pet peeves that landmarks and road names appear and disappear apparently at random when you are zooming in and out. I doubt there's any way to change this behaviour, unfortunately. But I would be happy to be proved wrong.

What?

So you're married now..? How does your wife feel about you sweet talking other girls from under drunk guys noses, or taking girls to Phuket who over charge you? Or did the marriage happen relatively recently? Is the postman the bride?

What?

If I thought you were the only one who was angry I would have said: "precisely to make you angry". Your response shows exactly why you struggle to understand what's really happening. You appear to lack both reading comprehension skills and basic reasoning. Did you really think that I was suggesting that the government are attempting to pull the wool over your eyes, and youe eyes alone? That would, of course, be a ridiculous claim to make. There are millions of people just like you who are also susceptable to government lies. I, personally, wouldn't be proud of being a member of that particular group.

You are talking bull locks. There's no point debating with you on this matter.

Yes it must be such a fantastic life fleeing half way across the continent from war or persecution to then be stuck in a "hotel" (and I can guarantee you that word doesn't mean what you think it does), boat or tent for months and months complety unable to function as part of any kind of society. The anger the tax payer feels should be directed to the government who are letting the backlog pile up. Just try to think logically for a few minutes.... If the government processed the claims then they could send failed applications back, thus not needing to "house" them. And the successful applicants could be making themselves useful by filling some of the thousands of low-wage jobs that are currently going un-filled. Thus creating taxable income, and bolstering the economy. And so there should be. But do your research, apply some basic logic, and channel the anger where it belongs; rather than where the Daily Mail tell you it should be focused.

Claiming asylum is not illegal. If a claim is accepted, they are a legal immigrant. If a claim is rejected, they are returned to their home country. Therefore the people coming on the boats are never illegal immigrants. If the UK chooses not to bother processing claims, then so be it. They therefore have to pay to 'house" them instead. And they publish the huge figures on how much all this costs, precisely to make people like you angry. Just have a go at doing something positive and channel your anger at the people who really deserve it.

Has that always been the case?

Is that how you treat people who are trying to be friendly and chatty in your home country?

There are no illegal immigrants in the UK. Certainly not enough costing the government 7 million pounds per day, anyway. What we do have is a backlog of asylum claims that are not being processed by the authorities. People who claim asylum are not illegal immigrants. People who are deneid asylum are deported. The current government is refusing to tax energy companies, who are posting profit increases of 900% so, yea, if they don't have enough money then it's entirely of their own making. But, yea, let's get angry at people fleeing war-torn countries instead. A tory government is never going to increase the pensions of retirees living abroad. I doubt any party would be very much in favor of it to be honest, but if you want any chance of it ever happening, it won't be the current lot.

No that is not what is happening.

When were they offering that? It seems incredibly low.

They already have this information, and it's up to them if they want to share it. You could try asking I guess? The suggestion of deleting/deactivating dormant accounts is destructive and could potentially cause all kinds of issues for the software and, as I previously noted, is not required in order to get the data you're after. I couldn't figure out what the rest of your post had to do with your original suggestion.

You do know that what you're proposing is pretty much exactly what the current situation is, and is what has caused all this mess, don't you? The only people for whom it is appealing to live in the UK, and hence the only jobs getting filled by foreign workers are high paid jobs. Fruit pickers and care workers aren't going to bother with visas to come and work for low wages in the UK when they can travel and work anywhere in Europe visa free. The result? None of the low paying jobs are being filled. Unemployment is extremely low in the UK and they can't get the workers they need fill positions in vital sectors. All the while many of the higher-paid jobs are going to immigrant workers. Your suggested policy is literally failing in front of your own eyes, yet you want to somehow double down on it??

What wife?

That's exactly the opposite of what the article says...

I guess he meant "play the maintenance" card... ie making up some mundane reason in order to enter the property ("I just want to check the water pressure" for example). If that is what he meant, I also didn't figure it out until I read @BenStark's comment, and came to the same conclusion as you.

Clearly not...

Please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it a post from one of your personas that talked about how rude you found it when people wouldn't talk to you, and how you squared up to them and put them in their place for being such a misery? If so, your attitude towards this postman feels a little hypocritical. If I'm wrong, I apologize (I guess..)

If you're paying hundreds of thousands of pounds in inheritance tax, you can probably live quite comfortably even on a frozen state pension!

I recently managed to get it all upside down and inside out. After coming back from a lunchtime beer in town, I wanted to get a beer or two in 7/11 to take home. It was 13.30 and clearly the previos beer had fogged my brain as I thought to myself that I need to wait until 2pm before I could buy (!). Not to worry, I thought to myself.... There was a bar next to 7 anyway, so I sat there, ordered a beer and obliviously waited for the clock to run down to 14.00 so I could go into 7/11 to be told that they couldn't serve me. A bit embarrassing considering how long I've been here...

Do bars in any country give out menus? Where I come from it's extremely rare unless it's a chain bar/restaurant hybrid.

I don't believe I said that, did I?
