We get post on Mondays and Thursdays. How I laughed when the circular from Royal Mail came saying 2nd class post would “only” be delivered on Mon/ Weds /Fri. Either only once a week, or our service will improve.

So entertaining. Thank you

Oooh! The trees in my parents village are dripping with them & bullace, but I just haven’t the time. I always keep some frozen ones in the freezer to add to pork & noodle stir-fry.

Happy story of the day. Yorkshire rescuing a fledgling Great Tit from the netting over the strawberry plants. After a lot of work & nipped fingers, it flew away (hopefully) happily.

Exactly

Nope. No, we really don’t. We prefer someone who can sort the problem out there and then, communicate and be human. The last twice I’ve phoned, that has been my experience and this is treating the staff very, very poorly.

Congratulations

That is gorgeous.

"don't cite what you haven't read" remains the basic entry level academic responsibility; & if your discpline "doesn't have that as a norm" then sorry, your discipline needs reforming for this new world. Citations are structural parts of trust and knowledge building, not trinkets or optional extras

There were still one or two “factory holidays” in Sheffield when I worked there in v early 2000s

Yeah. A week is a long time.

It took 5 days for the old metal flue to be stolen from our drive. We were thinking we’d have to take it to the tip ourselves. However, some very furtive men drove past, reversed, looked around, scuttled on to the drive & took it away. We were watching on the CCTV, laughing our heads off.

Well said. The BBC website is getting particularly bad. I want a synopsis I can absorb, not a rolling feed of “waiting for … “ or “someone says”

So was the running down of the National Stockpile in the 10 Tory years prior to Covid? The replacement of Expiry Dates 3 or 4 times so the masks disintegrated when you breathed through them? Big “honest errors”.

At what point will someone have the time & money to stand up to the bullies?

Who knew?

My darling but slightly unhinged husband is running 180 miles in 6 days along Offa’s Dyke to raise cash for Sarcoma UK. In a heatwave 🏃☀️ We lost our good friend Phil to Sarcoma and so it means a lot to us. If you can afford a couple of quid, please donate. Thanks ❤️ www.justgiving.com/page/mattw-o...

Phew. Lovely story & glad your effort paid off.
