The European standards for Carol Singers clearly states:
"Carol Singing may not take place before the second Friday before Christmas Day, unless said carols are part of an offically organised event such as school fete or church event. In which case, any date in December is acceptable. Carol concerts, defined as a concert wholly or largely consisting of festive tunes, whether secular or religious, may only take place in the week, defined as seven days, immediately preceding Christmas day."
Carol Singing, when carried out on a door-to-door basis, has its own set of standards which include:
"No less than one person may be considered a carol singing group. Maximum size is based on the standard English doorstep, of 32.5 inches, allowing 2 adults or 4 children or a combination of both. Mutliple steps allow for more singers but the group must refer to the multi-step safety standard appended hereto.
The songs selected must be demonstrably festive although some leeway is permitted where the receiving household is percieved to be of a less than festive temprement.
Maximum monetary reimbursment for said carols singing is set down below -
- the full 4 verses of any carol from "Carols for Choirs" versions 3 onwards - £1 per singer - per carol.
- 2 or more verses as above - 50p
- full descant on the final verse may acheive a further £1 for the descantee.
- 1 verse nicely rendered 25p for each singer.
- a duet of 1 or 2 verses with harmony up to £1 each.
- 25p of any of the above may be converted into a mince pie on any occasion.
- 50p as above, warm with brandy butter.
- one line, badly remembered - no cash although a full 3 minute lecture on the value of "learning the words before getting me to my freezing cold front door" is permitted.
On no account must cold water, violence or swearing be aimed at the carol singers unless they are over 18 and repeat offenders of the 'one line badly rememebered'."
I hope this is of use when deciding how to deal with future doorstep carolers.

Thats not how it works! Even hospitals dont do that. Can I do that then? Yes sir you can 3 used Playstation 2 games for £10 each but the 4th is £12??: Sure that will go down well. Id not noticed this before but did notice today all the little run car parks seemed to be doing this so I went and parked in the NCP. Thought if I was going to get ripped off I wouldn't put it in the hands of locals

I hope this is not taken the wrong way, but I do amuse myself sometimes with the more bizarre "out of the box" thoughts as you know.
The poppy was adopted as a symbol of peace in the aftermath of WWI.
Don't you get opium from the poppy and isn't that one of the reasons we are fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan?
Maybe time for a rethink perhaps?
I was also amused to see that the official family photos of the Miliband family addition showed both parents, including Red Ed sporting a rather snazzy shirt outside his trouser band, wearing poppies. Now tell me, who goes round their house in casual dress wearing a poppy other than your average Sergeant Major who also wears his stripes on his PJ's and uses his swagger stick to pick his nose with?
"Not a poppy wearer of France"

Csn i try this in this thread? I dont seem to be able to get a reply in the bug reporting thread.
I have to keep manually scrolling the page down to see what myself and others are saying. It scrolls itself for a few lines then i havet o use the slider to move the page down after i type and to keep up with the room.
Is this just me? or is it something that can be resolved? I think others are experiencing it too. Should i raise a ticket thing? or is it something that will be resolved while you're sorting other things out?
Raise a support ticket. Works fine here..

Another thing i've noticed is where there's a little piccy next to some peoples names in the chat room list, it's not always their picture and when queried they have never seen the picture before. Wonder who has mine lol, is this something caused by the switch over?
The wee 'piccy' is their profile avatar..
