btw I just read a few pages here to catch up and I'm annoyed that I can't go and see what all the fuss was about on that deleted thread! :angry:

Perhaps a forumite who is au fait with what went on could knock up a “Letts Study Guide”

My phone has been playing up recently and rebooting itself at random intervals. I was just using it to check a couple of answers in today's Metro cryptic crossword. (I always write them in first so it feels like 'checking' rather than 'looking up'!) I was just dictating the clue into Google search when the phone popped up a reboot dialog. Cue a stream of obscenities from me... :whistle:

The phone faithfully searched for what I had shouted at it and came back with THIS gem courtesy of The Scottish Sun! :laugh:

I'm not willing to believe that story. Wasn't it yourself who "just came across", "Handjob Alley" on google earth a few years ago?

I have to say that you have a remarkably good memory. I struggle to remember my own posts from a month earlier, as you can see above!

Ha ha - I stumbled across somebody who had written about Handjob Alley! (For anybody interested, my original post would not be hard to find, and neither are references to it elsewhere online, though Google have removed the original content from Streetview! It's at the back of Piccadilly station in Manchester.)

As for dodgy reports in The Scottish Sun... I didn't even know that there IS one until Google accidentally found that article for me.

Dodgy reports Scottish Sun or another hand job alley?

You're going to have be careful what you say the next time your phone decides it doesn't want to work.

Shade Chapel is being knocked this weekend by the way. Road closures will be in place Friday to Monday. Council have given the dates as the 26th to the 30th of this month.

How do folk interpret the following?
"C19 rate per 100,000 for tests carried out 7 days prior to 21/11 was 333 down from 367 on 20/11. The rate is still too high. We need to keep up the good work and continue to do the 3 big things to protect those we love, our communities and NHS and social care services."

I think it is odd that they worked out a week's worth of data separated by only one day! Surely it would make more sense to compare the 21/11 data with the 14/11 data? At least both numbers are a lot lower than the 488/100,000 quoted in Calderdale council's warning dated the 19/11! (That is, assuming that you are quoting a Calderdale source?)
