"I'd be against raising the limit in general. A lot of the time you can't go that fast or not for long anyway. I see too many people who can't drive properly as it is. Plus it would increase fuel consumption as you say. If they do want to do it then it should not all the time, i.e. only at non-peak times when conditions are good. Plus the limits should be enforced more strictly. Even in Germany on the no-limit autobahns they have a limit when it's wet.  Personally, I mostly drive at under 70 in my little Hyundai, even though it can go faster. For the mileage I do I want to save a bit on fuel." - Steve

"Google+ obviously doesn't want the teens as you are supposed to be 18+. Obviously that won't stop them joining anyway. My daughter is 13 and into Facebook for chatting with friends. Haven't heard any complaints as yet." - Steve

"That sounds a lot like the jam I used to go to. I'm trying to start one nearer home (actually at the pub across the road). We had a first attempt this week, but I didn't publicise it much and some people I did talk to couldn't make it. There were a few of us there, so we still did some songs. I'm going to try again as it's fun when it works. I'm keeping it open to all kinds of acoustic music. I know there are a few musicians in our village who I would like to get there." - Steve

"It would be nice to have the option of working standing up at least some of the time. I've been to a client office where the desks could be electrically raised/lowered. Office desks are probably fairly expensive anyway and that would be hard to get past the penny pushers." - Steve
