I’ll add an example to help get across how the regulations have changed: If someone calls me pretending to be my bank and tricks me into giving them enough details (passnumbers etc) to move money out of my account, or persuaded me to author

If the bank satisfies a court with evidence to show the customer committing fraud, then the customer won’t get their money back. Just like if the CPS satisfies a court that someone committed murder, prison will follow even if the person did

To add flavour in the guise of figures: The largest city in the UK is (Greater) London, population ~9M. This is an outlier. The next largest is Birmingham, population ~1M. The smallest city (by population) is St Davids, population ~1800.

"There are cases where the bank will not be able to distinguish an actually fraudulent transaction from a legitimate one. In those case, you, the customer, will be stuck with the loss" No, that's contrary to the FCA regulatio

In the UK at least, the regulations cover the third category i.e. where you can't demonstrate fraud, but neither does the bank have reasonable grounds to suspect you acted fraudulently. From https://www.fca.org.uk/cons

It disingenuous to ignore the parent's very next sentence, which recommends cooking food properly. It's estimated that the majority of raw chicken sold in the UK carries campylobacter, and a major factor in making sure it doesn&#

Uh, that list is most definitely tongue in cheek. The only one that really holds is “not bad”, which is an idiom that does translate into some other European languages (“pas mal”).

The source article ( https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tenant-fined-100-000-and-... ) states that the council also have a possession order, meaning the host is also losing their home.

Ghetto doesn't imply violence or crime to me. Per Wikipedia: "A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, typically as a result of social, legal, or economic pressure."

You don't believe there is enough renewablably-produced electricity to meet the demand for certificates? I suspect you might be over-estimating the demand for certificates!

I'm going to say that study has a serious smell. I can't read any of the detail (no access), but look at the example graph for Danish mothers. It suggests that in 1965, the average time spent by a non-university-educated mother o

They still do, or did in 2015 and 2018. We were lucky enough to not need the doctor-led hospital unit - using the midwife-led maternity unit instead (where private rooms are standard). However, we were moments away from foreceps being use

The "historic" roof cannot be preserved - it is now gone. The building will tell its history more honestly if the new structure is of the time. It should be sympathetic to the rest of the design, but not pretend to be anything i

I imagine if Trump demanded another presidential election, the electorate at large would say "Sure thing - we'll hold one in four years."

A quick note on this: Appeal to the building owners / maintainers for unplated, unpolished brass handles. The copper in brass (or other alloys of copper) is antimicrobial. Obviously the effect isn't immediate, clinical trials su

Vertus were always intended as ostentatious, bling products, rather than fantastic phones. They were mid-range models covered in gold and diamonds etc. A Ferrari is meant to be ostentatious _and_ a great car (not withstanding pratcicality

Five kids is an edge case. Besides, it's impossible to shuttle five kids to different places simultaneously by car without five parents. Not so with good public transit.

The question is phrased ambiguously, but the article makes it clearer that what is meant is: "Is it still OK _for the planet_ to have kids...", not "Is it still OK _for the kids_ to have kids..." EDIT: actually, I'm

That's a security failing - you shouldn't let the website user know that a given account exists. The right way to do this is have a log in form (one or two pages - doesn't matter) and a separate create account form. You can

“Homeless” includes people who are housed in dormitories, or who have to sleep on a friend’s sofa. “Rough sleeping” largely means sleeping outside, or “on the street”. The rough sleeping set is a subset of the homeless set.

You haven't at all backed up the assertion that the BBC are "under _specific_ instructions...to drop impartiality and implement a social justice agenda" (emphasis mine). You provided evidence that the regulator has demanded
