Questions you'd like answering, regardless of how trivial they may seem

Apparently, if you ask ChatGPT

"A hotel or an hotel, which one is correct?",

you will get the following response:

Both "hotel" and "hotel" are correct, but "hotel" is the more commonly used spelling in North America, while "hotel" is the more commonly used spelling in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world where British English is spoken.

Looks like we don't have much to fear from AI any time soon.

Well, I won't hold a conversation with ChatGPT ! Doesn't know what it's blethering about.
I am concerned tho' GPT just happens to be my initials,, hope that don't mean anything, especially if I happen to talk about hotels!

Because it's far easier to get the Private Hire Licence there, than other areas with stricter rules, the regulations were changed so that you didn't have to apply for said licence from, say Leeds City Council, if that's were you were plying your trade.

I heard on a radio/tv show last night that people will be able to live to 150 in around 2050. I was born in 1960, so If I were to make it to 90 years old in 2050 which I very much doubt I will , could I then expect to live to 2110?🤔

Unfortunately (for us), I think it means that those born in 2050 will be able to have a life expectancy of 150 years. Not that those of us who are already old will magically gain another 50.

Yes, I thought that might be the answer, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

Why would they increase the number of Mps?

 

[Dave7]

Why would they increase the number of Mps?

They wouldn't of course......but if we lived longer just think how many more we could see.

Parliament includes the upper chamber, and they can stay until they shuffle off.

I'm planning on living forever anyway.

So far, so good.

I thought that might be it when you consider the driving standards of them.
