  • UK regulations state that ingredients must be listed in order of weight, with the main ingredient first according to the amounts that were used to make the food - the percentages are by weight

  • Really pissed off about being unable to run half my Steam library

  • The missed Preview’s recent loss of the ability to open Postscript and EPS files. That was a real bummer

  • Being honest would require percentages, really

  • Hmm that would be illegal in the EU and UK, where nutritional info and proportion of honey would be required.

    Quite tempted to write in though. Anyone else?

  • Interestingly, quite a few of the 'colors' are from articles written by US editors/correspondents - so it looks like the Reg doesn't havw a consistency-obsessed subs desk and will let the journalist go with whatever they are most comfortable with.

    Quite a few of the others are forum comments.

  • There’s a few things going on here, in addition to a general Americanisation.

    Firstly El Reg obviously wants to attract those sweet sweet American clicks, so they could well have American English as their style guide (I’m a bit doubtful, I bet they use colour).

    Secondly there’s long been a tendency to use American spelling in IT journalism for technical objects. So “optical fiber” but “dietary fibre”; “floppy disk”, but djs “spin discs”. “TV programme”, but “computer program”.

    It’s been that ways since at least the 80s, quite possibly earlier.

  • From his comments, I don’t think it is primarily the filing which is the issues, more the ‘with hindsite debate’ that tends to accompany the clips

  • It i- just looked it up and the ONS defines it as … the economically inactive population who said their main reason for not seeking work was because they believed there were no jobs available.

  • values the data their users have given them

    .. and will give them

  • TIL too, thanks

  • Certainly in the UK, there has been a real push for fully compostible teabags. Clipper Tea and PG are fully compostable. Yorkshire Tea was not, last time I looked - which is why I stopped drinking it.

  • Exactly.

    Also be aware that if you add an Outllook account to iOS, IT may be able to wipe your entire phone.

  • At least it has reject all

  • It’s a transaction- it’s fine from their point of view as they have to pay journalists. Is there and ad- free pay option?

  • If would probably help if you listed some of these movies so we could know a bit more about this leftist comedy of which you speak.

    Perhaps also give some examples of media you do find funny

  • That’s the rough timescale, yup.

  • I got a few bits of malware when my kids were about 10 and went few a phase of clicking on ‘free game’ links. MalwareBytes always managed to clear up the stuff - classified as annoyances.

    The free version is fine.
