  1. I had the pleasure of working a couple of times with Jethro Tull, the Prog Rock Band. When on tour and eating out, the only restaurants patronised had to be called "Taj Mahal".
  2. Good point. Done a bit more research, so happy to stand corrected. Meter looks like the Mitsubishi Electric MH-96. So that means the initial very well rounded figure would be 70000 with final reading of 78080, so 8080 units used. This to me opens up an even bigger question, if the Condo rented is a 1 bedroom unit, why do you need a 3 phase supply? Was the Condo initially a larger unit that has been converted into smaller units, and not necessary Electric supply meter proportioned!
  3. Just took a look at my move in Reading of my condo, Meter's look the same, ie model MF-33E. So the right-hand column is ignored when taking a meter reading. So from your 2 photos, you've used 808 units. Not 100% sure, due to photo quality, but Serial Numbers look the same, so implies the same meter. I would definately ask for copies of the Juristic or PEA bills to confirm what they are reporting. Also, the Landlord asking for $1750:00, which to me speaks irregularity, as it's another round number. Seems the Landlord might have a over ambitious rounding error!
  4. The initial Electric meter reading has too many zeros to look convincing. Did you take your own photos of both meters at time of move in? Also on the legal side, did your AirBnB landlord submit a TM30 when you moved in. If so, did you apply for a TM90 after 3 months. If not, you're on more dodgy ground.
  5. French as a modern language has it's origins in the languages that was spoken historically across France. In the middle ages, the language of Southern France / Northern Spain / Monaco / North West Italy was Occitan, i.e. the area referred to as Occitainia. In fact Occitan is still the official language of Catalonia today. Northern France's language is referred to as "langue d'oïl", however this is more a dialect, as Francien was the language spoken around what is modern Paris, other regions were Germanic, due to the ruling Frank's. Over the years France has been invaded by the Moors, Romans, The Vandals (origin Poland), Visigoths (Germanic), Phoceans (Greek), Franks (Germanic) etc. So if the French in their usual Gaulic flare are getting all uppity with Anglo-American influences, at what point in their history is the true original French language the definitive version. Most probably the same as other countries, e.g. when we learnt to "bang the rocks together".
  6. Looking at Teams you need a basic licence, then pay for a PSTN number and calling plan. Within all the impossible Microsoft documentation I read, it said you could port your Skype Number over to Teams. But being MS it's not easy to follow. I need to retain a Geographic number in the UK, so if anyone else is in the same predicament please let me know.
  7. Quiz is also sexist. Where is the balancing question to "I have a designer handbag ". Scored 5, does this mean I'm privileged?
  8. True, but still having a Western associated country in the company name does lend itself to a different degree of respectability.
  9. Italian in name, but not a single Italian on the Board.
  10. Thank the Romans for that, they started the trend over 2,000 years ago, and still being used today. Eg, Watling Street, aka the A5. Dover to London then over to Wales. Fosse Way, links Bath, Exeter in the West over to Lincoln and Leicester in the East. Etc.
  11. It's called 'cladding' in the building trade. Non load bearing, potential fire risk, but aesthetically pleasing. Ticks all the local building regs.
  12. Also privately educated members of the British Royal Family.
  13. That's true for this year, bear in mind the Chinese weekend is normally held in late April, but was changed to March for this year. Dates for 2026 haven't been released yet. Also extending the season beyond the current 24 races would cause a revolt in the Pit Lane by the teams, which will include an eleventh team next year, in General Motors, so the money pot will now be split 11 ways.
