They're at it all the time Malcolm, can't get enough, but they're very self-concious about it which is why it's never been caught on film.
But the minute your back's turned - zoooom!! They love it.

That might explain some of the voices I hear, and then when I turn round there's nobody there.
Tricky little buggers.

I see why they changed the headline, the original makes no sense. If it has gone up then it is surely higher than last year?

That's how it makes its getaway after it has shat in your garden.

Except it isn't. There's a difference to employing translators, and having self-employed ones on call if needed.

Quote:

Translation was needed once each for French Canadian and Icelandic. However, the service for Basque, Catalan, Tongan and Pidgin was not needed.

So that wouldn't have cost much would it? And I doubt that the Inland Revenue was the only department who had a list of employees who could speak other languages and were prepared to assist if needed.

Harry gently put Mr Kazi into the recovery position, while other riders looked on. The British Red Cross said the Prince's quick-thinking actions could have saved his opponent's life.

A grateful Mr Kazi told the Washington Post: 'Prince Harry was the first one off his horse, doing the right thing, turning me over to make sure I regained consciousness.'

He said: 'I think I had a minor concussion but I’ve since had a CT scan and everything is clear.'

So his life was never in danger anyway.

Can't see anything wrong with that, I'm obviously missing something.

It's easier for an unconscious person to breathe that way, and it stops them choking on their own vomit, etc. Nothing to do with regaining consciousness as such.

This is a 3rd party possibly private sector company I used them all the time when I worked in my previous job for two clients who spoke poor English.
