was this an American style second floor or a British one, makes quite a difference in height. 

Makes no difference to the outcome or the responsibility, though!

Simply add that to the 27 trillion in deficit and it's all good. ???????? 

Insurance payouts don't get added to the city's, state's or country's deficit.

27 million USD is way over the top in my opinion, money like that could go to communities that really need it

The compensation typically is not paid from the city's coffers, it is paid by the city's insurers so it's is not available for community use.

Civil settlements often occur after the criminal case(s) are settled. Typically, Not Guilty equals a lower amount, Guilty a higher amount.

That the city and their insurance carriers are offering $27 m now means, well the obvious...they expect they'd have to pay more later.

Justine Diamond's family got $20 m from the city of Minneapolis.

Just think of the improvements Minneapolis could make in policing with $47 m.

The city would not be able to make any improvements with that $47m because, as you said, it's insurer's money that was paid out as a claim, not the city's.

No.  The BBC is reporting that he resigned.

I would assume he was given the classic option - resign or be fired

You could assume that but your assumption may not be correct.

So much for unbiased reporting Reuters. This is very anti-Morgon. "Dumped", he walked out didn't he?

No. He walked off the set. Then had a meeting with his boss after there were 40,000 complaints and then was gone.

No.  The BBC is reporting that he resigned.

The dog became aggressive because it was always on a chain .

If somebody should be caged in this story , it is the owner of the dog .

How did the dog that was "always on a chain" chase the girl down the road to bite her?

Do you pay for your entertainment here?  If you did you wouldn't get the ads!

It would be polite, wouldn't it, to have received some kind of explanation from the owners of the site. Apparently they can't be bothered.

Why, what do they owe to us, the freebie members?  Perhaps they directed their explanations to the only ones who deserve explanations, i.e. the advertisers who do pay to be here!

What a huge waste—financial and resource-wise. But that's Thailand I guess.

It's not peculiar to Thailand!

 motor vehicle insurers won't pay out once you have exceed a period in the country

That is not true.   I have have had three claims settled using my UK licence after years of being here.
