How to have ‘relations’ with kids around in lockdown
The only way to pull off a lockdown afternoon 'quickie' with their 8-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Mars Bar and tell him to report on all the street activities.
He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:
'There's a car being towed from the car park,' he shouted.
'An ambulance just drove by!'
'Looks like the Andersons have company,' he called out.
'Matt's out on his bike and his mum is telling him off'
'Looks as if the Sanders are going into full isolation!'
'Jason has had his skate board taken off him
After a few moments he announced, 'The Coopers are having sex!!'
Startled, his mum and dad shot up in bed!
Dad cautiously called out, 'How do you know they're having sex?'
'Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Mars Bar' -

This morning I saw the story of this lovely little boy, whose birth parents abuse caused him to lose both of his legs.
Now at the age of 5 he is trying to raise funds for those that helped him. The link to the fundraising page is in this newspaper article

Here is the answer but what was the question? #43
Today's answer is
Gran Sasso
What was the question?
From previous guesses in Pastime, Peter has got the question partially right. It is the name of a mountain. But it also gives its name to something else. -

Friend of mine got this phonecall today.
Telephone call:-‘Good morning, I'm calling from the NHS test and trace service. According to our system, you are likely to have been in close proximity to someone who has tested postive for COVID-19. This means that you now need to self-isolate for 7 days and take a COVID-19 test.'
'OK. Can you tell me who that person was?'
'I'm not able to tell you that. That is confidential information.'
'Right. Um... so ....'
'But you do need to be tested within the next 72 hours. So can I just get the best mailing address so that we can send a kit to you?'
'Ok (gives address)'
'Thank you - and I just need to take a payment card so that we can finalise this and send the kit to you.'
'Sorry - a payment card? I though this was all free?'
'No - I'm afraid not. There is a one-off fee of £500 for the kit, and test results. Could you read off the long card number for me, please, when you're ready.'
'No - that's not right. This is part of the NHS so there's no charge.'
'I'm afraid there is. Can you give me the card number please - this is very important, and there are penalties for not complying.'
Puts phone down.
The friend said 'if they had asked for a £5 (or less) fee to cover the postage, many would fall for this and your bank account could be wiped out' -
Anyone heard of PCC - Property Compensation Claim (I think)
My sister has received a letter out of the blue from the above, saying that electric cabling runs under her property and she has been offered compensation of £150. Bungalow (by the coast) is probably 80s built, she and her late husband have lived there for about 25 years. Sorry my knowledge of the letter contents is a bit sketchy as I can only remember bits she read out to me. All this has come totally out of the blue and she didn't know about the cabling running under the bungalow. I've just read that they take a percentage of what is offered. I'm wondering if she should take solicitor advice - if she can at the present time.

Update --- overcharged Sainsburys
Rest of my money has now been refunded. Only have to write a letter to some on in authority. No use sending emails --all returned--or trying to contact headquarters (only recorded message).I feel staff should be trained to at least look at the total sum. Maybe I am ignorant not realising there might be quite a few people having a bill of over £800.00

I bought a Master Lock with light. Will let you know how I get on once it is installed. I opted for Saffron indoor button alarm system. Recommended from Social Services. They still in lock-down so have to wait to be installed.

American protests (Edited)
Isn't it about time that Trump stopped threatening the protesters and instead promised the population safety in any interactions with the police.
Many black people (and undoubtedly other colours too) have been assaulted to the point of death, when they should instead be guaranteed justice. People who interact with the police should not fear death as a result. We have seen the woman with her dog in Central Park who attempted to use the police as a weapon against someone who justifiably asked her to put a lead on her dog.
Why should anybody asking someone to comply with local laws be intimidated and feel that their life has been threatened?
America needs to come to terms with the fact that there are people of all colours and race and live with them, not against them.
If Trump attempted to let the populace know that every life, (not just black and not just white, but every life) matters and that anybody interacting with the police will have the full protection of the law, there would be no need to threaten to bring in the army. Nobody should fear for their life when interacting with the police, fear for their liberty yes, their life, no. -

Online banking and paying in cheques
The Barclays tv advert for online banking has a bloke saying, "and you can even pay in cheques".
I have Barclays online banking and you can't pay cheques in as far as I can see on screen.
