Cheers. One of my daughter's Uni mates is from IoM and I was wondering when travel restrictions might be lifted.

The UK had 12 statistical regions according the European NUTS classification system. 9 in England + Scotland, Wales, NI. Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics - Wikipedia ONS regional statistics have been grouped in this way since the 90s. e.g. there was a time when Cumbria was...

The Government's target is to offer 15 million vaccines by mid February. 'Offering' the vaccine has always been how the target is framed. All they are doing is continuing to report progress towards their clearly stated objective. Not sure why this is so difficult to understand.

What's the vaccine roll-out situation on IoM?

No it didn't. The national affordability crisis occurred between 1997-2006, with affordability plateauing (not getting worse, but also no better) since then. The data is there (ONS) if you care to look.

we came back from our two weeks in Scotland in late summer determined to get a motorhome (rather than a camper), mainly for the reasons in your first para. We'd seen a fair number of vans parked up in terrific locations, such as on the SW side of Mull where the scenery is wonderful. The freedom...

The Hebrides are fantastic too. I haven't been to them all yet though, I'd love to visit Coll, Barra and Rhum.

It is only 2-3 weeks ago that Gwynedd had the lowest per capita rate in the whole of the UK. Local factors are playing a big part in Wrexham. e.g. 24 drivers at the Arriva Bus depot went off with Covid at about the same time. As you say, the area has a much higher proportion of people employed...

The situation is much better in South Wales but not so good in North East Wales.

One key difference between NZ and the UK is that the latter is much more dependent on food imports. Overall, we import about 40% of our food requirements, either because we simply cant grow the food here (oranges, bananas, etc.) or because of how supply chains have developed historically (e.g...
