Death Sentence

[johnny.5]

which crimes do you think deserve the death sentence in U.K. ?

[pixie374]

No particular crimes. Possibly, a handful of extreme and permanently violent individuals.

[RobNorth]

Anyone wearing trainahs with a lounge suit.

[baboon1]

I think murder

[piggynose]

For anyone caught asking for guinness with blackcurrant.

[AuntPG]

Terrorist murders. Catching them before they blew themselves up along with innocent people could be difficult though.

[ichkeria]

As I always say:
It’s a pointless topic for serious debate given it will never be brought beck

[baboon1]

no it wo me think.

[Googlewerenohelp]

Occupying the centre lane when the left lane is empty, not refilling the kettle, and pronouncing "scone" the wrong way.

[Stickybottle]

Failing to indicate at a roundabout

Thread is pointless
Not enough people here have seen a relative die due to a lack of resources and finances but have no problem seeing a child rapist and murderer get 3 squares a day and a roof over his head at the cost of mere millions to the taxpayer for the next 30+ years

[fiveleaves]

Being involved in producing an advert for Go Compare or Money Supermarket

[Googlewerenohelp]

...yes, and especially for the twonk that decided it was a good idea to bring back that stupid looking opera singer.

[Peter Pedant]

O I like the bug eyed singer in hey car
(clearly he isnt driving and singing at the same time)

[Peter Pedant]

overfilling the kettle - very wasteful when it comes to energy

[jno]

none. There is no absolute proof, which is why hanging was abandoned: the wrong people were being executed. Would Colin Stagg have escaped the gallows? How about Gerry Conlon? Even Dr Crippen was unlucky.

[Peter Pedant]

yes Crippen - aged 11 ( me not him )
I found it v odd - the jury didnt - that only bit of skin of Belle found was around the neck and it showed bruising

more likely to have been a failed abortion...

[jno]

PP, they tested it for DNA in recent times (with the assistance of a verified relative of hers) and it wasn't her.

[Googlewerenohelp]

...and people who pronounce CitroËn "Sitrin"

[jno]

you never know, Google. The ads used to pronounce Hyundai with two syllables - hyoon-dai - but eventually gave up in the face of everyone (in Britain) pronouncing it high-un-die and now pronounce it that way themselves.

[Googlewerenohelp]

jno Americans (and this was an eye opener for me) pronounce it "Hundy"!! It makes logical sense to me that suppliers will tailor the pronunciation for non Korean speaking countries because it makes perfect marketing sense. It still irritates me however as someone who believes that it should be pronounced as it is in the country of origin.
I know I tread a fine line between being correct and being pompous but hey.

[Googlewerenohelp]

..the same goes for other major manufacturers IMO
Nikon ("Nikon" and not "nyyye-kaaaaahn")
Renault ("Renno" and not "Ren-alt")
Nissan ("Nissan" and not "Knee-sawn")
...but again, marketing.
