If the lack of updates inconveniences their customers and potentially causes loss of earnings, isn't the onus on JD to improve the update mechanism? Make it as simple as inserting a USB stick, and then ship out those sticks periodicall

I'd be surprised if it was genuinely because the building's listed, it's usually just that the landlord doesn't want to make the investment (and the market doesn't demand it). Sadly, until the law requires rentals a

I don't see the group lobbying the Government to follow through on that "suggestion". If they believed strongly enough in the "suggestion" to put it on the side of a bus and in their leaflets, surely they should be

Ironic that you should use the term 'slop', since that's exactly how they avoid flying the same route across the Atlantic tracks for example (Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure).
