Standard single phase grid connection is either 60A, 80A or 100A in the UK. The numbers the OP is quoting here certainly aren't representative.

London gets its own way, with its own affairs, a lot - it already has a mayor, an elected assembly, and its own transport governance.

Also, as an alternative to massively complex edge compute, read up on the Vary: header: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.4 (Caveat: it's an appallingly vague spec, a…

"You are connecting from IP address: 10.56.111.24, 127.0.0.1" Err, RFC 1918 anyone?

"Disclaimer: At the time of writing, I don't have any kids of my own, and I have no firsthand knowledge about how to raise kids. Enjoy reading, though!" Great! So I'm just off to w…
