Publish the details of the accident so we can learn by what and how they happened - no need to publish the names of those involved.

Indeed. They can be easily obtained by the prurient, as Vorpal & Jonathan explained.

so you are suggesting they don't publish the details of how and why an accident occurred in case someone uses them for sexual gratification ?

total and utter nonsense

I'm sure it would be very simple to redact those and create an anonymous version

Unnamed is easy, but do you mean unidentified or unidentifiable? (It's a well-known problem in reuse of medical data for research etc.)

As usual comparison with commercial aviation is helpful.

I've just come to that conclusion after a short-lived trial application of neatsfoot oil. Its almost impossible to apply solely to the leather, without straying onto canvas-land too...

Use masking tape then.

The answer is yes; of course the bike’s power train, from motor shaft to driven wheel, needs to be appropriately geared.

Thames Water is getting interesting given their dividend payments, debt and not investors demanding a massive bill increase, in effect customers paying for their failings and dividends. Even where we are now (40% bill increase demand) is going to stir up a lot of ill-feeling through their region even though OFWAT has refused the increase. If it were my decision I'd be fining them for every illegal sewage release until they go bust, let the Gov. buy the company for £1 and keep it under public ownership. I'd be doing that for every water company. None of this "temporary nationalisation" the Gov. are mentioning as a possibility.

Feargal Sharkey was very good in his TV appearances yesterday - knew his stuff (facts), presented them in a clear balanced concise manner, allowed the "other party" to have their say un-interrupted and then countered it with clear, simple fact.

I feel like writing to the water company covering my area asking for the money I paid for sewage disposal to be refunded as they have not been doing what I've been paying them for. Every moderate rain and people have sewage in their gardens (not mine). Been happening since I've lived here (15+ years) and water company never investigates as tiny village into ditches into small river so no monitoring guages.
