My missus was a lawyer working for Halfords before we moved to Devon.
She agrees with your evaluation.
She also said that using the a term implying fraudulent practice could be considered libellous.
Once a lawyer; always a lawyer.
Good evening all.
The wind is blowing and the rain is falling horizontally.
We had a meeting with the 'local' plod this afternoon. Our road seems to being targeted by the local scumbags as there have been 18 burglaries since January. 4 police officers and two PCSO's showed up along with around 40 residents from our road. I do realise that unless the coppers can catch the offenders in the act it can be hard to catch them. So this was really a PR job on behalf of the Met, who don't have enough officers. The Sergeant did a reasonable job explaining the position, but it was really a bit of a waste of time in the wind and rain at the junction of our road and a neighbouring road.

Cold with rain/sleet. I’m getting sick of this weather now. Surely after all this wet stuff we must be due a long dry spell at some point.

Stormy as hell in the night, absolutely hammered it down,

Morning all.
Dry at the moment but rain due to arrive mid morning.
I will have my coffee and then I am preparing a chicken casserole in the slow cooker. No logic to my choice of spices, it will be whatever jumps out at me.
I am due out for lunch but am waiting for a delivery which could come at any time.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning from a clear and dry Dorset. The high winds abated overnight so I am off to Lidl to return a " Middle of Lidl " Multi Tool that I purchased on Wednesday. A quite well made piece of kit, I charged the battery and assembled it but it doesn't turn on 🤔. Nothing obvious that I can see, everything clicks into place nicely and I have checked for non obvious safety switches 😕
It will give me a chance to grab one of their " low gi " crusty cob type loaves that Mrs Tkk picked up on spec and turned out to be delicious.
Mrs Tkk was in M+S yesterday, when she scanned her Sparks card it said she was entitled to a box of Belgian chocolates to celebrate her upcoming birthday. They're supposed to retail at £8 but there's no way we would pay that much for them normally.
That did get me thinking about the practicality of setting up 52 disposable email accounts and applying for 52 separate Sparks cards under different names then getting a weekly Birthday freebie 🤔😉
