Not all newsreaders seem to display them properly, so ukp is a work- around :-}

But if you feel the need for such a workaround why not use the standard code? Why invent something non-standard that leaves people having to work out what it means? Or is this a deliberate political statement about the status of Northern Ireland?

Remember to be careful with the plumbing.

You think pensioners have time to spare???????

You wait!

Inland Iceland is littered with 'holiday cabins'. Many are sagging and rotting becuase they're not used.

Ah yes, the frilly bits ...

Happy days!

What?

My cousin has a two of those seagoing containers in his garden to house his collection of antique motorcycles and the workshop that goes with them.

They are lined with insulation material behind plywood (orsomesuch material). Nice and warm and no windows at all. Can be locked up tight with padlocks etc.

I've no idea where he got them from, and you'd need to be able to get in delivered with a crane.

Fell off the back of a lorry??

An interesting idea though, I have worked in a few for short periods and although there was electric lighting I missed having a window or two.

Well it fell right side up and inbetween the barn and the woodpile :~))))))

I'd imagine you could cut windows in the side if so desired. My cousin likes to hide from his wife............:~))

Oh yes - that reminds me of lorry backs, the refrigeration units would be well insulated.

Our daughter has several on her farm, there are plenty of 'dead lorry backs' depots around. Look in Yellow pages or Google for one near you.

News only guarantees transmission of 7 bit ASCII characters. The pound sign is an 8-bit ASCII character and will be filtered out by some news servers. The same goes for all those idiots that think it's clever to put characters from the extended Windows character set into their posts. Some servers will strip the characters and replace them with blanks, some sill simply drop that particular post on the floor.

Since you're a gardener, the best response is probably "there, there, don't you worry it's a bit technical."

I'm trying to work out why someone should invent "UKP" in preference to using the ISO standard "GBP". That was the only explanation I could come up with, Northern Ireland being in UK but not in GB, I thought that perhaps someone who wanted to make a political statement about Northern Ireland being part of the UK would object to using "GBP". Can you think of any other reason for inventing "UKP"?

1) I saw it in use first 2) It's more accurate 3) Stuff ISO - standards committees are often a waste of time

Well, you did ask!

What exactly do you search for in order to find these companies? I just did a google for "dead lorry backs" and came up with a list of stories about immigrants who ran out of air whilst hiding on the cross channel ferry.

I've used ukp for a long time, so have many other people.

Is this a company? Do they have a web site?

Good grief Tim, you are over-analysing way too much. I've seen UKP used before, it hasn't been invented to make a political stand.

Taking your logic a stage further... When you install Windows it asks you for configuration information. Country options include "United Kingdom" not "Great Britain". Are Microsoft making a political statement about Northern Ireland with their Windows Installation procedure? Using the logic you provide above, you'd have to conclude they are.

But they look awfull, unless you put a wood frame around and clad it. Which may be feasible.
