On checking the council website it appears we pay a lot. I didn’t even realise there was a water charge plus a waste water charge!

Think I’ll watch some tennis 🎾 British guy playing Djokovic. Doubt he has much chance but he is a gutsy player and will give it a good go hopefully.

I've made another coconut cake, funny enough it only raises my blood sugar by one point
if I keep it down to just two slices per day.
OK I put less sugar in the recipes by 2oz, but it tastes all right to me.

£10 million for a front door...
... how on Earth can the Peers entrance door to the Palace of Westminster cost £10 million - and, it doesn't work properly either.
Beyond belief what some publicly funded projects cost.
Kendal town centre has a sleepy little road that goes to and from the river Kent.
There was a big splash in the local press ages back complete with a fabulous artist impression of the strret brimming with trees and fancy street furniture that was an illustration of an intended makeover. The street was going to be a 'gateway portal' to the town centre.
In reality it morphed into some drainage improvement, some new flagstones and some directional signage plus 2 new trees. Whoopee-do!
Cost, £250000!

Don't forget the £2500 a week so the new automatic door can be operated manually by a security guard!
The North Korean civil service dont have this problem. Mess up on that scale and you're shot. And rightly so.

Sounds about right, wotsup!
We'd an "artists impression" of a new "Hub"(The in thing these days, hubs.) where on the grassed area just inside, and to the left of the entrance was a dog on a lead dropping it's load. Pointed it out to the short straw employee of the company involved, she'd no answer as to why it was there. Nor did her boss when she phoned to ask about it.

It's Bass not sea bass the latter is call by stupid TV cooks and supermarkets that don't know any different
there is a fresh water Bass in Aussie, but we don't get any here.

I didn't know that.
TBF.....its Bass. Mr Numbnuts tells us you can get fresh water Bass. We eat Bass from the sea......surely then it makes it Sea Bass as against fresh water Bass.
