We all had a day off 😁😁

Just a server issue in Germany
What you all been doing ? 😂😂

The car park at NESCOT - North East Surrey College of Technology. They all look new.

Trying to find out why they are sitting there. For several weeks.

Rumours abound!

Made in Germany, have manufacturing fault.
Two companies are arguing over who will run the service.
Failed ULEZ compliance!

Or maybe it's performance art...

Any suggestions?

Three hundred officers will be going on strike at Britain's busiest airport from April 29th to May 2nd.

They are striking because up to 250 officers could lose their jobs due to roster changes.

Terminals 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be affected.

You get out of the shower and find you’re glad the mirror is fogged up.

You get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you used to get from a roller coaster

You appear to have more patience, but it is actually that you just don’t care anymore

I recently read an article, that I could not copy to paste for members which seemed to be indicating that it was no longer viable to have an Au Pair because of having to pay the minimum wage. This appears not to be true at all and I attach a link from the gov.com website explaining the true details and arrangements. Do members think this is fair or outdated?

I had an email from one of my banks yesterday.
It read, "From 1st July 2024 there will be a limit of £20,000 cash deposits per year on your accounts. If you have more than one account the £20,000 limit is across all your accounts. If you have a joint account the deposit limit will be £10,000 per account holder. This policy is in line with the Post Office who already have a deposit limit of £10,000."
Has anyone else had similar e-mails or letters.

Just heard on Radio 4, 'You spend the first two years trying to get them to walk and talk and the next 17 years telling them to shut up and sit down.' Thought this might amuse some parents here.

Hope this helps

Scottish police received more than 7,000 complaints about possible hate crimes in the first week of the country’s controversial new law.

Only 240 of the reports have been recorded as hate crimes for investigation by Police Scotland, with the vast majority not deemed worthy of further attention.

The worst convicted criminals should build their own prison on a remote island and serve very long sentences breaking rocks to make roads leading nowhere.

Suggestions please.

A few days ago, after a tongue in cheek comment I was asked how old I was, which got me thinking about songs - titles slightly altered - for those of us that may not be as young as we were 🤫

Hit me with your walking stick - Ian Drury and the Blockheads

It’s a Beautiful day centre - U2

Old - Spandau Ballet

I can’t see clearly now - Jimmy Cliff

Any more?
