Anyone from the UK?

If anyone wants to analyze the split between East and West Midlands, please go ahead. But there is no middle Midlands.

I agree, I went to Blackpool once.

But there is middle earth which was ironically created in Oxford iirc.

And so the circle is complete

I'll stick to London... at least everyone knows where that is even if they don't want to. Morning all BTW.

How you think about the age verification for porn?

New laws introduced in the UK yesterday, ostensibly to protect children.

Thank you. Yes so what is the intention of this act indeed?

Supposedly to protect children from harmful content. Not exactly sure what it does to protect them from bullying. And with regards to porn, as almost all children's mobiles are paid for by a parent, the parent is in a position to place restrictions on what they can access via the service provider. I don't think it's been particularly well thought through and the risk of data breaches for those who go through the verification processes are significant.

VPN... so far the only downside is that the BBC seem to think I'm now Dutch...

Exactly. And now the government “step up” to takeover the role of parents, or might be the parents fail to do their role properly? Anyhow, VPN app boosted across UK.

Yep - mine was recommended to me by an expert in her field.

But Clacton is upon sea? So posh?

Bit like when i went there with friends, with us all being fans of the tv show Jaywick, we were told its rough there and dont go, but to be honest we had a great time there all residents were so friendly. But yes to see the old abandoned buldings that once were filled with families was sad.

If Clacton is the arsehole, does that make London the Colon?

I think there's someone's thesis there.
