I'm about to have a late morning nap. There's still a lingering odour of sparrow fart.

At least yours is codified. The American Constitution has volumes and volumes of interpretation and case law involving such things, even though it is a fairly short document. And all people over here can do is argue about article 2, referring to the right to keep and bear arms in order to maintain a militia. The problem there is with the National Rifle Association, which has married gun rights with extreme right-wing politics. It's a shame, because our constitution is a living document, full of noble sentiments about the rights of man, written by men who then owned slaves, but were greatly influenced by British philosophy.

By following @Reynard 's Easy, Peasy recipe (thank you 👍), have just enjoyed my first taste of homemade marmalade. Made plenty of jams before, but with pink grapefruit only 29p in Aldi at the moment, seemed like a good time to try something new. Good choice!

Sending an application for a Job I don't want and I'm not qualified for, because the Employment Agency sent me an automatically generated letter. If I don't send an application I'll be sanctioned.
I've called the company and warned them so they can send my a 'rejection' quickly.

Brain surgeon ?

Perhaps you could demonstrate your skills on the employment agency ?

Is it time to stop for lunch? I would like a bacon butty and a large mug of tea please.

I'm an occupational therapist with training as a Cabinet maker. They want a "Work station designer" (making workstations for people with disabilities) who is a machine engineer.

I had a nice chat with the workshop manager, and he's promised to look out for the application and send it back pronto. I don't want to waste his time as I'm not qualified.

As far as I know only the constitutional courts judgements set any precedent, other court rulings are irrelevant in future cases, which probably reduces the levels of paperwork.

Interestingly, the first article of the constitution is above EU law in Germany.

Nearly, but we took a wrong turn, or rather we didn't take a right turn which was left

two wrongs doesn't make a right , but three rights make a left

I waded through it some of the way and swam the rest with some help from a couple of mute swans

@Speicher why didn't we think about that, it's obvious now we have a clue, that poor old OAP he wasn't very happy

I'm not sure you understand what an employment agency is. They're not known for their brains.
