    Why did the "Government'' award a £1.5 billion contract to the German company of...

    When good things happen, you claim the credit. When bad stuff happens, you blame the government. The government had nothing to do with it. The trains were ordered by the train leasing companies who are independent commercial enterprises. Bombardier had the choice: compete with Siemens or...

    Why odes the national anthem of the UK still contain negative references to

    No-one ever sings the second verse. What we know as the National Anthem started life as a song in support of King George I at a time when the Jacobites had taken Manchester and were marching South.

    Why is there a break every 15 mins on every single TV channel?

    Commercials are what the independent TV companies do to make money. Nobody pays for the programmes - all the revenue comes from commercial breaks and sponsorship. If they could get away with it, they'd show a lot more advertisements, but they are limited to how many they can show. The 15...

    advice on painting a fireplace surround?

    Use ordinary paint - you just need to take special care because the fireplace is a central feature in the room and your eye will be drawn to any mistakes. If it is waxed, you need to clean the wax off carefully with white spirit before you start. (Paint won't stick to wax) then apply a thin...

    My friend was in business for around one and a half year and not registered for tax?
