13 miles, we used to have one in my town, and also a magistrates court, but the Tories closed both & now we have a crime spree and a court backlog should we be so lucky to catch one of the scrotes

But I didn’t mean MY illegal workers, the ones I exploit and only pay a 1/3rd of the normal rate.

Easy done, I was this close [finger & thumb held close together] to plunging my hand in a saucepan of boiling water to blanch some spinach.

In the far North of Scotland at this time of year it doesn’t get properly dark at all.

Morning. I have so far booked a routine telephone appointment w/ my Dr (blood sugar control not good) & now at Kwikfit so they can sort the puncture of my rear near side wheel, then a haircut.

I remember as a child my mum would scour the beach clearing it of rubbish. Even now I try to leave the beach tidier than how I found it.

Walked to church as rear near side tyre has a slow puncture, opened up, swept the path, welcomed visiting preacher, made old lady with dementia a cup of tea, just welcomed a rough sleeper & organised someone to make him a drink. Later we will have our morning service.

I (non lawyer) once ran a case thru High Court, we were convinced we were right & was a shock when we lost, over the years I’ve come to the view that it was right we lost. If I had my time again I’d instruct a 2nd legal firm to draw up argument to counter our main one.

We moved to Essex when I was 11 so I didn’t make the move to Leyton Senior. In Leyton we lived in Belmont Park Rd, opposite the swimming baths.

Do you wear a hat now as an adult? My hair is thinning (wife would say bald patches) so I wear a cap or straw hat when it’s sunny, when it’s really hot I wear a headscarf tied as a bandana - the material wicks away the sweat & evaporation cools my head.

I’m still not going out to canvass for Labour until they have stopped persecuting the poor & disabled and instead tax the rich, and I count myself in the group that should be taxed more.

A test match series is by far the best possible format, with a drawn match that one team should have won but didn’t the best outcome. And a result that is impossible to explain to someone who doesn’t follow cricket.

I once worked with a guy who started coming to work unkempt with clothes unlaundered, after many warnings he was dismissed; too late we discovered he had lost his home & was living in his car. He was a professional man - 2 degrees. If in doubt help.

I suspect he realised there was a high likelihood of a car accident incoming.
