•  Support Something different from Diliff. Excellent. I did not know that a "Supreme Court" existed in the UK. What does it judge ?--Jebulon (talk) 21:12, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
  • It's complicated, like anything involving the structure of the United Kingdom and the four countries that it's comprised of. ;-) As per the Wikipedia article, it's actually a very recent creation (2009) but the building it inhabits is much older. It's the highest court for "all matters under English and Welsh law, Northern Ireland law and Scottish civil law" but not criminal law in Scotland, which has its own criminal Supreme Court. Also, "Because of the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty, the Supreme Court is much more limited in its powers of judicial review than the constitutional or supreme courts of some other countries. It cannot overturn any primary legislation made by Parliament. However, it can overturn secondary legislation". So, to answer simply, I don't exactly know...!

  • Well, something british with non understandable rules, like counting points in tennis, or rugby laws (this, I understand and I love)...;)--Jebulon (talk) 22:04, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
    • Hmm, re:tennis: apparently the French are to blame... ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:31, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

•  Support Great job. There's so much potential in staircases, beyond the "looking up the well of a spiral staircase" type of image we get more often. Glad to see someone taking advantage of that. Gladder still that it's you. Daniel Case (talk) 02:55, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
