the disabled legislation states that 'reasonable adjustment' must be made for disabled people - thats fine by me!shame on that MP!!there is a nursing home near me that had a disabled 'worker' - they paid her NOTHING! I complained to her social worker and they then started paying her ten quid...

Only 2 million people applied for tickets, in the first round there were 5.5 million tickets available. Only 700,000 people actually got tickets, on average they would get 7 or 8 tickets each!The vast majority of us (1.3 million) got nothing because we only applied for one or two tickets. Now...

Most veg that you'd boil responds very well to steaming instead. Then there's nothing to drain, so no spills.If you want to cook a veg that takes a while, and one that is much quicker (peas and carrots say), then the one that takes longest gets a head start, then the quick one gets added. No...
