Will it make an atom of difference?

Perhaps a better idea would be for all electrical stores around the country, to switch off completely those banks of TVs they have switched on in their stores?

Yes, it will make an ATOM of difference.

Or better still, stop stores (of all types) from heating the street by having enormous fan heaters going whilst leaving their doors wide open.

Not sure that David Cameron has the power to ban standby buttons, the world is a bigger place than his podium.

It takes more than 5 minutes to warm up my digital TV and Sky from switch on but in standby takes less than 1 minute. Isn't this just a backward step when the old 5 channel setup was almost immediate. Why can't the digital boxes store certain info in memory that will speed up the restart process?

I see you are gradually getting over your obsessive behaviour about all things Muslim.

buildersmate

When are you going to enter anything constructive? but that's perhaps why you are just a builder's mate and not a full blown builder.

I notice you haven't replied to my past posts, which were in reply to your previous criticism.

If you took your head out of your a*** you will notice that I do it most of the time, when I have the time, or when there is something interesting to respond to.

I wouldn't normally respond to your comments because you do not post anything worth replying to.

Notice though that it takes a long time for buildersmate to pick himself up when he is shot down.

But that isn't a first.

"When are you going to enter anything constructive?"
In all the time I've been on AB, I can honestly say that I've never seen a constructive post from AOG.

My sentiments entirely.
You know why you get treated this way, Mr Git. I have a memory as long as an elephant's
............ and soon it will be time for another report on Anal Statistics - which, as I recall, was a brainchild of yours in the first instance.
