Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I just had an automated phone call saying illegal activity had been detected on my Internet and my Internet service was going to be turned off within 24 to 48 hours unless I press number 1 on my phone and talk to someone. Yeah. Right. Do I look like I just climbed down from a tree.?

I do not know what you look like so I cannot answer that one.

I don’t have any PB’s.
But prompted by talk of their winnings I’ve just braced myself and checked my personal pension and other investments. In spite of all the turmoil this year, and after fees, each of them have still returned over 6% in the last 12 months. Happy with that !

That’s the oneI actually have an OMM jacket Kamleika or something?? Might try it another day. Also have a Proviz one that feels a bit clammy, but might actually be properly waterproof if it's really heavy again. At least I have plenty choice. Jackets and running shoes galore!

That's the one Mo. They do both a jacket and a smock. If the weather is going to be "challenging" then I find that an " Icebreaker" long sleeve merino top and the OMM jacket on top covers most eventualities. One thing to watch out for is that the cuffs get soggy so a pair of gloves are sometimes necessary.
I found a photo of myself when I was taking part in an off road relay race near Corfe Castle. A glorious sunny day in the Dorset Countryside, the event went on for twelve hours, with teams of four taking turns to run individually around the 6k course. Run as many or as few laps as you want, plus there was a beer tent so you could enjoy a beer between outings 🍺
Of course just as I was getting ready to set out on one of my laps the heavens opened...

Thank goodness I am not travelling today.
MV Isle of Arran is on and the bow visor has broke so operating single ended and you may have to reverse on or off. In tourist season this provides lots of entertainment for spectators. Foot passengers have to use the car deck as there is no shore connection from passenger deck and to add to the joy the engine has now broken down and stuck at Craignure till they fix it. MV Clansman is doing some runs but the Arran will have to get off the pier somehow to make space at the linkspan.
In Lerwick once we were going on to Shetland and the boat is sometime after midnight. I had to reverse the motorhome a couple of hundred yards and then round a bend into the bowels of the car deck with about a foot clearance either side. Not a problem for me but the driver in front of me had not a clue and caused an enormous kerfuffle.
While typing this there is a blizzard of text messages coming in and the 0840 sailing has now departed at 1020.
The joys of island life.
Edit It was not of course Lerwick but Kirkwall. I always get these the wrong way round.

Don’t know if you saw the Martin Lewis Money show, last night?, but, this subject was discussed. Apparently, the thing to do is sit tight, you will be allocated another supplier, you can then switch, if you want to. Apparently this is less messy than switching immediately.

@Tenkaykev Here's another Bromie at an eye watering price, admittedly it's for charity so that's good!...
