Someone has put 84 pence into my bank account but I don't know where it's come from, been onto the bank and they say it's from me !. deposit is in my name but I didn't pay it in.
So if this can happen going in can someone get money out ?

I only watch athletics when its a major championships. I know its a silly thing but I thought it was good when say, David Coleman, name checked and country checked every runner in every race. Just thought it was good that the no hopers got at least 15 seconds of fame. And I could think, good luck only competiror from the Galapagos Islands.
But now when they line up, as soon as there is a GB athlete or say the defending champion the commentator witters on about every race and time they've posted and the rest of the lineup gets ignored.

Dad wanted to watch The Met - Policing London on the Iplayer today. I put the subtitles on as he willl keep asking me to turn the volume up a bit. But they were useless. They were so out of synch with the sound. The 3rd phrase was being spoken when the subtitle for the 1st phrase appeared on the screen. it was ridiculous.
A couple of times they almost caught up, but then they had a bit with talking and no subtitles and it went back to two phrases behind again.
I think the issue is caused by the warnings of offensive language and scenes that some might not like etc.

The BFI London Film Festival is the largest film festival in Great Britain. It’s annually held by the British Film Institute, promoting the art of film making and television. The festival is held in October.

The idea of the festival belongs to the group of critics, who in 1953 though of organizing a big film festival in Great Britain. Their festival was to be alike such renowned festivals, as in Cannes, Venice and Edinburgh. The festival would give the audience an opportunity to watch the films, that had never been screened in British cinemas.

However, their idea wasn’t realized till 1956, when the very first BFI London Film Festival was held. The festival was running from October 16 till 26, and its program wasn’t very rich. Only 15-20 films were screened that year, but the names of their directors were already known to the audience: Akira Kurosawa, Andrzej Wajda, Luchino Visconti, Yasujirō Ozu.

The current program of the festival is richer than it was in the beginning. Nowadays the audience is presented with over 300 films, including shorts and documentary, from around 50 countries. The highly anticipated films, that have never been screened in Great Britain, and the films by young directors are preferred. Also restored filmed are frequently screened.

The BFI London Film Festival has a competitive part, and its main award is the Sutherland Trophy. It was created in 1958 and named after the British Film Institute’s patron George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, 5th Duke of Sutherland. The trophy was awarded to such prominent directors as Bernardo Bertolucci, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Jean-Luc Godard and Michelangelo Antonioni.

The other awards are also presented during the festival. For instance, the Grierson Award, that is given for the best documentary, Best British Newcomer Award (given to directors, producers and screenwriters), BFI Fellowship and other awards, that are given to different organizations.

World Smile Day is an informal holiday celebrated on the first Friday of October. It was created by the American commercial artist Harvey Ball in 1999. Ball is credited with creating the smiley face in 1963.

In 1963, Ball was employed by the State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester, Massachusetts as a freelance artist. He was tasked with creating a symbol that would boost the employees' morale. It took Ball less than ten minutes to create it, and so the smiley face was born.

Over the years, Ball became concerned about the increasing commercialization of the smiley face. To remind people of its original meaning and intent, he created World Smile Day. The holiday's motto is “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile”. On this day, people are encouraged to smile at each other, bringing good cheer to the world.

Ball passed away in 2001. To honor his memory, the Harvey World Smile Foundation was established. The Foundation continues to organize World Smile Day as its official sponsor. Every year, numerous World Smile Day events are held thorough the world. They may include, but are not limited to, performances, concerts, flash mobs, charitable events, etc.

Every year, the Foundation presents a Harvey Ball Smile Award to a deserving community leader on the occasion of the holiday.

is an annual event that takes place in the United Kingdom and Ireland on the first or second Thursday in October. It was founded in 1994 by British philanthropist, publisher and entrepreneur William Sieghart.

Sieghart founded National Poetry Day to promote poetry by drawing media attention for it. Since its inception, the campaign has become a permanent fixture in the British calendar of cultural events. Every year, it engages millions of people across the United Kingdom and Ireland with various events, such as public performances, broadcasts, classroom activities, etc. National Poetry Day events take place in libraries, bookstores, schools, arts centers, and even pubs and public transportation.

The campaign is coordinated by the Forward Arts Foundation. Sieghart established the Foundation in 1991 to extend the audience of modern poetry and raise poetry's profile. National Poetry Day is not the only project of the Foundation. For example, it also awards the Forward Prizes for Poetry. National Poetry Day is run in collaboration with a number of partners in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

From 1999 onwards, the campaign has been loosely themed. The theme serves as a source of inspiration rather than a directive. The first ever National Poetry Day theme was “Song Lyrics”.

The Spanish government in Valencia region have decided that all unemployed people who receive benefits from them should be expected to do a certain number of free hours helping to clear up after the terrible storms last month. This does not include disability benefits only people seeking employment. I think good idea, lovely weather now so helping outside is no hardship.
Those who refuse to help out with the aftermath of the floods will lose their benefits for 6 months. The Spanish don't mess about just tell them to get on with it.

Had an email yesterday from Waitrose saying that the delivery slots for Christmas food ordering are now open. Went online today to book my slot and already the Monday and Tuesday before Christmas are fully booked. So I've booked my slot for the only afternoon one left on the Sunday.

is an annual awareness event that typically takes place on the first Wednesday in October. It was established in 1997 and has been held each year ever since.

Walk to School Day was created in order to raise awareness of the importance of improved, safer and more accessible streets, less traffic, and reduced air pollution in communities across the USA. It also aims to promote healthier habits and active lifestyle from an early age. The first campaign was held in 1997, it was called Walk Our Children to School Day.

Since 2006, informational and technical support and resources for National Walk to School Say in the United States have been provided by the National Center for Safe Routes to School, an organization that helps states and communities implement Safe Routes to Schools programs. These programs aim to enable and encourage children to safely walk or bike to school.

Over time, Walk to School Day has become an international event. Each October, thousands of children from more than 40 countries walk to school instead of taking city/school buses or being driven by their parents. Parents, schools, community leaders and all levels of government join efforts to organize Walk to School Day events and spread the word.

Today was rubbish and recycling collection day. At 5pm it was obvious the general waste collection had been missed. Went on to the Bromley webpage to report a missed collection. Under my address was the message that the general waste was not collected because I had not presented it in time, or it was not close enough to the edge of my property.
The button to report a missed collection deliberately greyed out. Only option was to send feedback.
I todl them all my rubbish and recycling is put out the night before. The paper recycling box and food waste box are at the property edge, and put the general rubbish close as I can next to them. Told them I'm leaving the rubbish in the front garden for them to collect in their own time.
Really tempted to deliberately leave the bags of rubbish actually just on the public pavement. Maybe they will see them then.

Boycott.

International Coffee Day Date in the current year: October 1, 2019

International Coffee Day Many countries celebrate International Coffee Day on September 29, but the official date of the holiday is in fact October 1. It was instituted by the International Coffee Organization in 2014 and has been celebrated every year since.

The International Coffee Organization (ICO) was established in 1963 in London under the auspices of the UN. It administers the International Coffee Agreement between coffee producing countries and consuming countries aimed to keep coffee prices stable.

At a meeting that took place in March 2014, the ICO decided to launch International Coffee Day in order to emphasize the great economic importance of coffee, to raise awareness of the hardships that coffee growers face, and to promote fair trade coffee because of its contribution to sustainable development.

The inaugural International Coffee Day celebration was held in Milan as part of Expo 2015. The holiday has been celebrated every year since its inception. On the occasion of Coffee Day, businesses in ICO member countries offer discounts on coffee and special deals for their loyal customers or social media followers.

Anyone can join a celebration by creating their own events and activities dedicated to one of the most popular drinks in the world. International Coffee Day is a great occasion to learn more about coffee and find new appreciation for the beverage.

Sake Day is a Japanese national observance, that is spreading across the world. People celebrate this holiday annually on October 1 since 1978, when it was declared by the Japan Sake Brewers Association.

Celebration of Sake Day on October 1 is connected with the fact, that it's brewing season always starts in this month and it lasts till April. The best way to celebrate this holiday is drinking sake. If October 1 falls on working day, be free to start celebration on the weekend before or after this day.

On September 30, the National Hot Mulled Cider Day is celebrated throughout the United States. It is the perfect occasion to enjoy a cup or two of warm spiced cider in cool weather.

Hot mulled cider is a delicious beverage that will make crisp September afternoons march warmer. It is a popular fall and winder drink often associated with end of the year holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It is made with apple cider (or apple juice for the non-alcoholic variation), sugar, and spices.

Hot mulled cider can be easily made at home. In a large saucepan, combine 2 quarts apple cider, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3 cinnamon sticks, 1 tsp whole cloves, 1 tsp whole allspice, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 dash nutmeg. Bring to boiling, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain and pour into mugs. Garnish with orange wedges before serving.

Sometimes liquor is added while preparing this drink. For example, you can make hot mulled cider with rum. Stud 1 apple with 2 tsp whole cloves. In a medium pot, combine 2 quarts apple cider, the studded apple, 1 thinly sliced orange, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1 tsp allspice, 1 dash nutmeg. Bring to boil, simmer for 10 minutes. Strain, add 1 cup dark rum and pour into mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks.

Unbelievably, spraying a dilute solution of aspirin onto your tomato plants (we are talking half a soluble tablet per litre of water) is capable of causing their sugar content to soar one and a half times and boost their Vitamin C content 50%.

This treatment can even make your plants more resistant to cold, drought and (not that we'll ever need it in the UK) heat stress too. According to one trial this can even result in a 47% less incidence of late blight, the scourge of tomato growers,

World Rivers Day, annually celebrated on the last Sunday in September, was created to improve and protect the rivers around the world.

The history of World Rivers Day begins in 2005, when the United Nations launched the Water for Life Decade. This campaign was created to raise public awareness of the need of better care for all water resources around the world. Internationally renowned environmentalist and river advocate Mark Angelo responded the UN's initiative and established World River Day.

The proposal for establishment of a global event for rivers is based on another ecological observance, also initiated and coordinated by Mark Angelo. Back in 1980 he established BC Rivers Day, that is observed in British Colombia, Canada. The inaugural event of World Rivers Day was organized by activists from around the world in 2005. Its popularity grew and the first event was celebrated in 12 countries. In 2012 more than 60 countries observed this day.

Celebrate World Rivers Day by participating in local events, organized near the rivers. These events range from fish enhancement projects to river cleanups. You may also organize your own event, and don't forget to register it at www.worldriversday.com.

Ask a Stupid Question Day is an informal holiday that is celebrated in some American schools on September 28 (or on the last school day of September when September 28 falls on the weekend).

The holiday dates back to the 1980s. It was created by a group of teachers to encourage kids to ask more questions in the classroom. The problem is that kids often fear that their question is stupid and hold back because they are afraid of being ridiculed by classmates. But asking questions is an integral part of the educational process and an important source of feedback for teachers.

Ask a Stupid Question Day is an opportunity for shy kids to speak up and ask any question they were afraid to ask, no matter how dumb and irrelevant it may seem. This day aims not only to encourage students to be more inquisitive, but to create a positive classroom environment where children are not afraid of being laughed at.

Some schools outside the United States have started to celebrate Ask a Stupid Question Day, too. It is reported that some British and Indian schools have adopted it.

Yesterday I went to the PRU at Farnborough for my annual eye check. I wasn't asked to do a visual field test as I usually do. Eventually the consultant yelled my name from right across the waiting area and then disappeared into one of the rooms. Fortunately I'm mobile enough to run and see where he went but others might not be able to. When I got in there he said the good news was there was no more nerve damage - I thought that was decided by the visual test. Then he had a quick look in my eyes and said "oh, you've got a tiny bit of age related macula disease...nothing to worry about, just eat plenty of greens and broccoli. See you in 12 months...and with this I was shown the door. I was so surprised/shocked I just left.

Now I've had time to think about it I'm bloody annoyed with him and myself.

Does anyone know if they can now determine nerve damage without the visual test?

Pets, or companion animals, play a very important role in many people’s lives. Some people even regard them as family members. So it’s not surprising that many pet owners (or “guardians”) celebrate World Pet Day. This unofficial holiday has several possible dates, the most popular ones being September 27 and November 30.

The inaugural World Pet Day was observed on September 27. It was initiated by the non-profit organizations PVBLIC Foundation and +SocialGood in collaboration with Klooff, a social media website designed for sharing moments with pets. They created the holiday to celebrate all of the happiness that pets bring to their owners, as well as to raise awareness of animal abuse.

The organizers suggested that animal owners visit the World Pet Day website, take a selfie with their pets, share the resulting postcard online, and tag three friends, asking them to follow suit. In addition, all participants were encouraged to donate to the Humane Society International or other organizations dedicated to saving domesticated animals from cruelty and abuse.

Another World Pet Day is celebrated on November 30. There’s no information on who created it or why this exact date was chosen, but it seems to originate from the Russian-language segment of the Internet. Anyway, it’s really great that pet owners have more than one occasion to celebrate their animal companions.

I have taught children with learning difficulties which included children with Asperger's and autism. They are often very bright but sometimes have difficulty accessing the curriculum. They can have difficulty socialising with their peers. Obviously the spectrum Is wide so each child needs individual help. However no medicine, doctor or surgery can change the way their brains are wired just as it can't be done yet with any of us and hopefully it will never change.

To save many cards.

Asked everybody to bring one Christmas card at next meeting. Collect cards and hand out at random. Write on top --to plus your name--keep the envelop and hand around card for all others to sign. Repeat in December for missed signing.

I have got many cards all signed by members of clubs/groups and it is a very nice memory to look at in years to come.

The NHS is forced to pay billions of pounds to private companies. [1] All because of contracts - called “PFIs” - that trap our NHS in debt for decades. [2] It’s money that could be used to train nurses or treat cancer patients - wasted.

Now experts have revealed the full cost to our NHS for the first time - and the waste is shocking. [3] But there’s a simple solution: the government could allow the NHS to buy their way out of these bad contracts. It would save the NHS billions of pounds. [4]

It’s common sense. But unless there’s public pressure to back it up, the government could ignore it. That’s why Catherine, who worked for the NHS, started a petition calling on the government to act. If hundreds of thousands of us pile in, it could force ministers to do the right thing.
