I agree with the comments about leaving the EU.and school buildings being an unnecessary political  barb. It comes from someone who worked at the BBC the well known “impartial” organisation (NOT) that supported the EU even after a democratic vote and tends to be against any Conservatives government. There are around 100 schools affected by the concrete problem, out of may thousands.

While the BBC employs a lot of young educated urbanites, who definitely lean left, the leadership of the BBC is made up of Conservative supporters, failed political candidates and donors. The cross pollination has gone the other with senior BBC journalists joining the staff of the Conservatives.

OK. You make a fair point and I like that you disagree with me in a reasonable way, as I do with you. Unusual on forums!  Hopefully we can agree to disagree on the BBC. 

Unbelievable!  Switched on my MacBook on Firday after the leave vote and it worked, so did my Apple TV, iPhone and iPad.  went into town and the Apple shop is open - so far so good!

Well done Apple - a good recovery, just hope it gets the press it deserves

I'll have to wait for the card to appear in the UK but I'm interested because of the additional security features. I'll read the additional comments on here after it has officially been launched and used.  The only point I'd make, and it's just a guess, but for regular payments such as iCloud subscriptions, Amazon etc I would have thought you be able to generate details AND specify that it's for regular payments so that number remains in force for that particular retailer - just a guess.  As so many have already said, it either suits or it doesn't and the choice to apply or not is yours.
