Re: Wear face protection?
A grain of sand at about 2.5 x 10 e-6 m is well capable of being blown across the Mediterranean: Sahara - Rome ~3,000 km; Sahara - Madrid ~2500 km. A virus, at 100 x 10e-9 m, is about 40,000 x smaller so I really don't think we should get too worried about the difference between 2 m and 6 feet.

Re: late capitalists
I appreciate what you are saying, but to be fair, it is not the cosmetic companies that want to engage in incredibly expensive animal testing, it is the government that demands animal testing of products to be used on humans. Remember Thalidamide? Only tested on one species, which didn't have a problem with it

Re: Sigh ...
Yep, If you haven't passed your IAM or ROSPA test within 5 years, add a government surtax of 100% to your insurance costs as a nice financial incentive to make people get round to it.
The L test is just supposed to show that you are safe on the roads while you gain experience of driving. Why not make people prove they are both experienced & safe after a set time? We might get fewer lunatics on the roads if we did something like this.
Then....accident rates fall, NHS/emergency service costs/callouts fall, roads are safer, cheaper insurance (I am trying to find something negative for balance....nope).
If you are reading this, is there any reason you haven't taken an advanced driving test yet?

In the UK get a BT phone with 'Call Guardian'. Perhaps you don't need one but think of your elderly relatives. I must have been on a few list as I got 2 or 3 of these calls a day, this dropped to about 2 or 3 a week after I got CG. After 18 months or so.... well I can't remember the last scam call. CG is really great, can't recommend it enough.
