The Royal Mail's plan to make existing 1st and 2nd class stamps void on the 31st January 2023.
Yes they can be swapped out, but what a lot of faffing about. I suspect most people with a few stamps left won't be bothered and that'll result in a huge windfall for the Royal Mail.
I think you're overlooking the major benefits to the customer: "These barcodes will provide customers with access to exclusive video content. The first of these videos features Shaun the sheep and his four legged friends. You can access this video via the Royal Mail App" Whoopee doo, that's just what I want when I post a letter.
We are selling our parents house, their solicitors asked a question on a line in the land registry about the garden. I answered that the size & shape of the garden hasn’t changed since my parents bought the house in ‘71, that was over a month ago. All the contracts are signed, but not exchanged.
Looking at the land registry, it states that the boundary is marked in red and this was in 1937. I think that the black line should have been removed then. Neither solicitors seem to be able to make a decision and are going back to land registry for an answer. Not sure how long or if they will get an answer.
I have also pointed out that their solicitors were involved in the purchase of the property back in ‘71 and it went through. I have the signed contract from that purchase and have emailed it to our solicitors.🤬🤬🤬🤬
I had a not dissimilar historic issue when selling my mother in laws house relating to the right of way running along the rear of the property. I said to the solicitor there must be a quick way to resolve this, "what can you suggest?" We signed an indemnity/insurance policy which cost about £200 from memory and that was that. Good luck.
Too many named storms. We've got Franklin on its way now. Obviously the really bad news is the climate change that's brought about a higher number of 'freak' weather events. I can’t help but think though that if we're getting three named storms in a week they might have set the bar too low. The whole point of naming storms was to draw people's attention to their seriousness. Name too many and there's a risk we'll just become blasé.

What level do you think it should be? Seems right to me.

I have no idea, but three in a week seems a little ostentatious.
Surely there is a naming threshold that the predicted storms have to hit before getting a name? It just so happens 3 have hit that threshold this week. There may not be another one for months.

This. Wind/Storm Criteria are met, preselected names in Alphabetical order are assigned
When Im out with my camera I always try to have the attitude that I dont OWN the scene, so never expect people to get out my way for me to capture something.
Yet today I bloody well got up at 5am to head down to Trottiscliffe for a Sunrise, I've waited in location (in the cold) for over an hour, and some bloody dog walker has come along. Right before the perfect time and sat right in my shot!!

I hate dog walkers when I'm out with my camera. Especially in wildlife parks where their slobbery, pheromonal inbred friends almost guarantee that you won't see anything interesting. I've lost count of the number of times I've lost a shot because some lead-less mutt has come bounding up to me. The other week I had a little contretemps with some arsehole who was in Chafford Gorges letting her dog chase the geese in the lake. When I challenged her, "he's only curious" was the reply of the clay-brained imbecile. We're still in February and already this year I've had two shit-on-my-shoes incidents where Fido's friend is too lazy or too thick to do the decent thing. As for the number of poo bags I see hanging about or dropped on the path, the number of those I've seen marring the countryside is anybody's guess. I am sick and tired of my hard earned free time being spoiled by these people. So if you're thinking of taking your dog for a walk in a wildlife park, please, please, please think again. Take it down the kiddies play park and let it coil out a big stinky log in the sandpit, it will be far more welcome.
Prick commentator on radio 5 earlier who, after there had been a long discussion on russia's invasion of Ukraine, started his trailer for the tinpot cup final with the phrase 'This is really, REALLY, important'. It so fucking isn't. However, you are an utter, UTTER cock.
One of my bloody cats is just... plain and simple... Stupid!!
When we replaced the backdoor a few years ago, we got a cat flap installed, so it was easier for them to go in and out - One of them, refuses to use it, he sits by the back door, making a noise until you open it for him.
He has learnt now to open a door into the basement, god knows how... But there is a cat flap in there, the little bastard is happy to use that one, but wont use the one we bloody well installed for him!!
When I become Prime Minister, I will make it illegal to show a rugby game on TV in a pub if there is a Football League or Premier League game televised at the same time.
The fine will be tripled if there is a Euro or World Cup game on.

Welcome to the world of the most independant,selfish creatures on this earth,but dont you just love them to bits.
Every day we have an RIP or a report of someone affected by a serious illness,just praying for the day when a certain person based in the North East is the subject of a post.

Kids got accepted into their first choice secondary school last week, got their acceptance letters on Saturday asking for all sorts of I.D and proof of address not only for us but them also (I mean who has paper bills etc nowadays) and we have a week to sort or they could lose their place!
The fact that my Son seems to be picking up every single bloody bug thats going around at the moment.
- Comes down with a sick bug, that lasts for two weeks, including HT and his Birthday - That ends, and is instantly replaced by a fever so its a further two days before he can go back to Nursery. - Went back last Tuesday, then this Monday picks up a cold (that I've caught), isn't an issue as he can go in. - Wakes up this morning at 5am, has another sick bug so has to stay home for 48-hours.
This term ends on 1st April, and if the latest sick bug lasts as long as the last one did - He'll have barely been in Nursery this whole bloody term the poor lil sod. Means he has to sit at home, and get sporadic attention from me as I'm having to work.

Please never let this nonsense infect football coverage.

The South East / South West, absolutely no issues remembering.

Never heard anyone in the crowd say that, it's the bar or post.
