Thanks for these.

I have realised that I am perfectly average at recognising faces getting 79% on the bbk test and 10 out of 14 on greenwich, however I don't recognise people that well. I hadn't realised there is a difference.

Anybody come across this?

I was at a junction in Spain and I had no idea what to do. It was the most hectic thing in the world, you just sort of went and hoped.

I guess its simialr to some roundabouts in London.

I have no idea how an AV would handle that(unless they were all AVs at the junction)

Is it dark intentions when the nature of a company is to make as much money as possible? The banks want house/land prices to go up so that they can charge one as much in interest as they can get from one's income, whilst making money on any land/property capital appreciation that they have. This is just capitalism surely.

My solution - nationalise the mortgage lenders and cap the mortgage to a 3 * multiplier of annual earnings.

I don't think it will necessarily work because some cracker has just probably added that to their personal dictionary(if they didn't before). It might work if you add 3.14159627 to it or a number/symbol set of your choice. I guess length is fairly key as well.
