What a lot of union members don't realise is that for every week they are on strike they will need a pay rise of ~2% just to break even for their lost wage/salary for that week. The longer the strike action the more pressure on the union reps to get a high settlement that exceeds the break even percentage and shows a true gain in wage/salary over the coming 12 month period.
The obvious outcome post strike for industries like train and royal mail are that consumers will be faced with increased prices.
..and were at their wits end on how to get more out of their employers for a fair wage.
A similar statement can be used by employers " how to get more out of their employees for a fair wage (without working any harder). i.e. Productivity increase.

What about those kids who are now adults and were named after all the players in football teams? Some would have 22 initials, one hell of an anagram.
Even knowing the answer I don't get a route to get fishcake from the clue that Joe posted.

Greek at 21st asks for quiet before joining Patty
Not only are the roses flowering but the potatoes have got out of the plantpot and morphed into different varieties!
Even after pruning, one of our roses now has a flower. Campanula and other bulbs are growing like wildfire, two months earlier that normal. One white camelia is producing flowers again, two months earlier than normal, and elephant ears are in their third bloom this year. The garden this year has gone bonkers.
Interesting subject, and and for cat lovers here's a book about medieval cats.

From google:
A bar (also called a measure) is one small segment of music that holds a certain number of beats. It can be thought of as a container. The number of beats a bar holds is determined by the time signature of the song, most commonly 4/4 (also called ‘common time’).
When you look at the time signature, the top number tells you how many beats are in a single bar/measure and the bottom number tells you what kind of notes those beats are. For example, in 4/4 there are 4 quarter notes in a measure. In 6/8 there are 6 eighth notes in a measure.
That must be after the discovery of Richard III's remains beneath a Leicester carpark in 2012.

Why? If the competition is about what the person has produced, whether science, poetry, or whatever, why a photograph?
William
Photo's add to the written piece. A magazine or newspaper without images would be boring as would just reading the script of a television program.
I would have thought that the term ‘Bridezilla' was used in the context of wedding planning and possibly in the number of last minute changes requested.
Hopefully as housing got replaced things got better for them.
From what I remember of the 60's/70's lots of streets with terraced houses were demolished and the displaced people were moved into newly built tower blocks. This then started the associated troubles with many of these blocks. Even as a teenager I could imagine the anger and frustration felt by many of the residents. One minute you're in a house, you walk out into the street, go to the corner shop and back home. Now you're on the 10th floor of a block, you walk down the stairs because the lifts have broken down, God knows where the nearest shops are, you lug your bags up 10 flights of stairs. You unpack your shopping and realise you've forgotton to buy an item.
William wrote:If one person buys the supermarket's own label version of something rather than the branded version to save money, there we go.
But if two million people buy the supermarket's own label version of something rather than the branded version to save money, does that result in some of the people at the factory that makes the branded version losing their job?
Why are own label versions cheaper?
William
Normally the supermarkets make as much if not more profit on own brand/label items.
In some instances the company that makes the branded version also supplies the supermarkets with their own label products.

...they are bombarded with offers of credit, in the form of cards, bank loans, hire/purchase etc, that encourages them to continue spending money they do not have on things they do not need
This quote ends on an interesting comment, "on things they do not need". What things would they be? Are there different things for different generations? Are the following needed or not?
At least one overseas holiday (vacation) per year.
Upgrade to the latest 85" television.
Televisions for other rooms.
Phone contracts with unlimited data for the whole family.
Multiple TV streaming service subscriptions.
Audio streaming service subscriptions.
New pc, laptop or tablet.
New/new to you car.
A second car.
Same spend on Christmas presents as last year.
Lottery tickets and scratchcards.
Gambling.
Unless you've got one of those "breeze block" phones from the eighties, it should clipfasten to your existing phone.
Lots of reviews on youtube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ … one+lenses

They clip over the phone camera lens. Here's a bunch of variations on ebay.

In the midst of this what are we but mere specks?
Many, many, many years ago I remember reading a novel about an astronaut who was to explore deep space. The story ended when his rocket broke free from the cover of a hard back book. The premise being that our sun and planets were nothing more than an atom. The sun being the nucleus and earth and our other planets were electrons. This was repeated with other planetary systems throughout the universe, and the atoms formed the molecules of the book cover. Mere specks on an electron?
Final proposal:
Instead of using the youtube widget do Insert > Document frame > Click on contents tab > internet page > enter video as
https://www.youtube.com/embed/sDGRag77bFs
Replace sDGRag77bFs with your video ID.
Drag the frame out to the size you want your video.
If this does not work for you then I would revert back to Alfreds comments about the most common reasons.

This website does not have SSL certificate, I wonder if this is part of the issue.
Also, no other changes were made to the webpages, so other objects are interfering with the navbar.
The https is a link and should not affect anything on the webplus site. After you mage the upload without the video did you not do another upload to see if the problem repeats?
Another possible solution may be the following which may or may not work:
Use the youtube widget without converting to html
Copy the following code
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("iframe").each(function() {
var $frame = $(this)
$frame.attr('src', $frame.attr('src').replace('http:', 'https:'))
});
});
</script>
On the page with the widget do Insert > HTML Fragment > Click on the page >Click "Paste to head" > Check the box "Include jquery script" > OK
As you can see in the code it replaces http in the iframe with https. Do an upload and see if it works.
Joe
How are you loading the link to the video into your site? If you are using the webplus youtube widgit it may be because the html in the code link is http instead of https. This can be changed by right click the video > Convert to > HTML fragment. Double click the fragment to open it and in line beginning
place an s after http to give
