Why not just make the thing 2.5mm thicker? Really. I do not get it.

And use the extra space for more battery!

“TIt would be best not to suspect intelligence in the British political class these days. They have spent two years unable to work out why the peasants are revolting.”

The peasants don’t like being referred to as revolting!

And you’d have your daughter push on the broken glass why?

which for most adults would be a resting heart rate of over 100 beats per minute

You did say "most" adults. Can you provide proof? A normal adult resting heart rate can be anywhere between 60 - 100 beats per minute. Those of us that are more physically fit have a rate lower than 100. Mine typically hovers around 80-85.

It’s just an English thing - >100 is tachycardia - the paragraph started out talking about tachycardia then had a small blurb about it being a rapid heart rate then got back on to telling us what the low end of fast is related the heart rate. The top end of bradycardia is <60 beats per minute. Those numbers are for the middle of the  road adult. The very fit will go lower than 60 at rest. The ill or injured will go out of the 60-100 resting pulse range and hopefully trigger an alert. We all go above 100 during exercise depending on our level of fitness or pfitness.....

This is a chance for the dead tree media to save themselves from obscurity and crippling advertising sponsorship - it will also be a path for real journalism to return and allow opinion to flourish without the biased filter through which it is all run today. Hopefully  quality the likes of which we have not seen in thirty years or so will make it back into the public arena and the really good writers will be back on the payroll.
