@TypeForVictory Reminds me of stories from when my father worked in the Middle East in the 70s/80s. If he had a car accident it was automatically his fault, because if he wasn’t there, it wouldn’t have happened. Luckily he never had a car accident out there!
Newquay, daft tourist thinks it's ok to park on the beach (free you see!). Car sinks in the sand. Tide comes in.
Aaaaand then...
A local called (We kid you not) Barry the Bugler turns up and as the car slowly disappeared under the waves he played the last post! 😆😆😆😆😆
@CaswellAdrian@kejamieson_ Did the same, mine fell at the same time as my insurance and all the family birthdays. Moved it forward 5 months, luckily that year it passed with no issues the following year £1k+ bill. Best financial decision I made that year.
@FlashForFreedom Fantastic pub. The walk back up the hill at the end of the night was a killer! Particularly having just finished the Coast to Coast walk.
@IMoanalotHutchy@sebserlo@JAHeale “Just as sneaky, just as big a liar and cheat, just as greedy and vile.” Makes him a politician not necessarily a Tory.
@charliclement_ Had a colleague who used to proudly state they hadn’t had a day off sick in 20+ years, a week after ¾ of the team (8 people) were off with a bug that he’d brought to work. Company had to rewrite the policy to stop it happening again!
@matthewhowe69@AndyGoode10 The Tory policy was to increase the age you could buy tobacco so that anyone born before 2007 (I think was the year) wouldn’t be old enough to smoke. They never planned on banning smoking in outside areas.
@zen_trainer@TruePublica@Tush27J How does that work for an MP more than an hour away from London? Or do you expect them to claim expenses for overnight stays like any other job would pay?
@davidflatman No skin in game. However, the policy smacks of “politics of envy” & the only losers here are children. A basic principle of our tax system is that children aren’t taxed, it’s their education, not their parents so to me shouldn’t be taxed. Or do we means test VAT on kids clothes?
@SergeantSleep@DaBigPoppa1@____Foxtrot____ Already sacked: "The officer was dismissed by Gwent Police following an accelerated misconduct hearing which was in relation to separate allegations around inappropriate actions while he was suspended pending the outcome of this trial,"
