was a missed opportunity. Most people in the private sector do not have a pension comparable to the public sector. Yet your comparison suggests otherwise. Also, government statistics show that, in a like for like job, public sector pay matches or is higher than private.

How can the Magazine host the , and still post a meaningless statement like "The average railway carriage is home to up to 1,000 cockroaches, 200 bed bugs and 200 fleas" (10 things)?

I develop software, and one of my product's features is a "To-do list" (re Friday letters). It's full of "To-do items", but the tab is marked "To do". That's because "To-do" is, in the first two cases, an adjective, but it isn't in the third case. "Todo" is an odd contraction, which many people would pronounce to rhyme with "Dodo", because it's not in common usage in English, and "Dodo" (or maybe "Frodo") are probably most common words in English which end in "-odo". I should get out more, perhaps, but it's chilly, and someone's nabbed my coat. Can't think who.
