Unless your comments agree with BBC policy you are wasting your time. They have decided what public opinion is, and your voice doesn't count.

This has not really bothered me a long time; I only thought of it a few months ago. Wayne Enterprises, i.e. the company owned by Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne: do they ever make people redundant? Just about every hi-tech company I've worked at made people redundant, usually every 18 months or less.

Yes, but apart from that. The presenter might be talking to an expert on Dutch Elm Disease and the phone would become crackly and distorted.

Yes, but what about all the people in the wire shop, the engineers, project managers, accountants, the sales and marketing staff?

Why can wasps, flies, et c, always find the smallest gap around an open window to get in, but not to get out again?

True. Even if you open the windows and doors wide, they can't/ won't go out. I think it's the smell of food indoors that brings them in, and makes them want to stay.
I have noticed however that they can all get out quick smart once you brandish a can of fly spray.
Which brings me on to: How are flies and wasps born with the innate knowledge of what a can of fly spray is, and what it can do to them, before you even pull the trigger?

Because they don’t find their way in via vision. It’s a bit like following a strong smell to a Chinese in a maze. Then after you’ve eaten the Chinese trying to get back out the maze.

How long will environmentally friendly paper packaging be around for? Unlike plastic it tears easily and lets in damp.

Why do people and companies use "more than" when trying to impress us with a figure, rather than the actual number, which is always predictably one more than the figure quoted?
For example; Blackpool Pleasure Beach claims to have "more than 35 restaurants".
So they have 36 then, yes? Because if it was 39, or 56, or a hundred and seventy six, they'd say that.
Or more probably they'd say "more than 38", or "more than 55", or "more than 175".
The dicks.

why do Communist and Facist armies march in such an odd way? It’s completely impractical as a method of walking.
you can tell how mad a ruler is by how stupid their soldiers look with crazy marching and bonkers medals.
