My mother is currently undergoing a protracted stay in hospital, but, due to the wonder of the Internet, she has still succeeded in turning the house into what can only be described as a Christmas-obsessed prepper's wet dream.
The woman was wasted in social services. She could have run armies.

I hope that our few remaining friends give up on trying to save us,
I hope we come off with a fail safe plot to piss off the dumb few that forgave us,
I hope the fences we mended fall down beneath their own weight,
And I hope we hang on past the last exit,
I hope it's already too late.

Yesterday began with a quick scramble in the Llanberis Pass.
While 'The Dragon's Back' looks spectacular as you drive down the pass, it's unfortunately a little grassy and inconsistent up close.
Still, never a bad morning when you can put a few hundred metres under your heels and enjoy this view.

The article states (in the second paragraph) that the pothole reporting thing sits 'alongside' the digital ID.
Basically the app that allows you to interact with various levels of the state would also hold your digital ID.
