Come to the UK and marvel at our range of privatised services. It's poetry in motion! Not that I'd dare think what would have happened in the past 13 years of glorious Conservative 'governance' had anything been in public ownership...

A couple of posts back on my feed was about nasa sending a video of a cat via a laser beam. Can't help thinking they've been intergallactically rick-rolled!

That last photo, looks so conniving! Definitely up to no good!. Good or bad, snowy owls have been a favourite of mine since I was a kid. Impressive beasts!

Fabulous photos and a beautiful owl, but those snowies...!

That's one contented puss-cat :) we have a mini Schnauzer called Winter :) he's no baby at 13, though still gets called puppy/puppa as he's small even for a mini, plus still young at heart!

No problem, we all have slightly different ways of describing things!

I stand corrected! At least in terms of the commodity price. A product made from a raw material can become relativly cheaper through mass production or bulk buying. Also factor in weight re transport costs etc. I've always had the impression that it had a good value, if not mega pricey, at least in a way that made it unfavourable for uses like this.

They haven't transferred the money to anyone else. An ethical investment fund just selects businesses that meet certain criteria, e.g. no weapons manufacturers or tabacco companies. They haven't given a penny back to anyone, not even made a donation to e.g. a non-royal family charity or good cause, as far as I'm aware. They've just changed the source of funds for the renovations that this particular income was reported to being used for.
