There's a Polish shop in Hereford where there's a God's-honesr QUEUE at the till on Saturday mornings. I just go for bread but everything is selling well.
Yes, running from the most desperately sad cases such as Stephen's, who died in hospital without visitors to that of Michelle, who eventually managed to improve her life. The whole thing needs more resources but also political will.

You could not call UK a democracy if it deports people with legal status to live here
Couldn't you transfer the plot to a parking meter or is dairy essential?
There are a few in Hereford and they are not of the same brand. I tried one for a few weeks to reduce plastic wash but it was a faff to drive and park to. (We have now started having home milk delivery like ye oldene dates). But yes, there are a fair few around (in inconvenient locations).
My teen reckons this is AI.

Do you think your MP is aware of the full implications of the climate crisis, across health, national security, food security and our economy?

In my view Chris Mason’s analysis of the Caerphilly vote is wrong. The high turnout and convincing win for Plaid indicates to me that the voters wanted to stop Farage more than beat Labour. Up until the vote, Reform were flying high, and bookies favs. That’s what motivated people to go to the polls.

Hi from the UK. What kind of project does 'No Projects' mean, please?

Literally taken me an hour to get ready for bed again. Flossing, ear-rings out, moisturiser, alarm clocks, other faff...
I haven't watched any because I don't want to sit there thinking 'That's not how I pictured it in my head!' Mind you, I have forgotten the details now.

I find Weetabix too sweet to eat now. I can't believe I used to put a layer of sugar on them when I was a child!

I don’t really care that the king prayed with the pope.

The deflection in the media from really serious and existential issues continues.

Perhaps if they’d joined forces on combatting the climate crisis, genocide and destruction of nature, I’d be a bit more impressed.
I ended up having surgery (sacrohysteropexy).
Whatever I write, online forms normally tell me I've entered my number in the wrong format, but they won't tell me what they consider correct.
