My son is living in Leipzig in Germany. We went to visit him a few months ago driving there from the euro tunnel. I was impressed with how many wind and solar farms there are right the way through the country. We also witnessed the recycling centres within supermarkets for plastic bottles where you feed the empty containers in and get a voucher for credit for your shopping. A beautiful clean country.

Hi, are you interested in a swap for a couple Rhino ported extended Mobil chokes? Both skeet. (I’ve still got them) cheers Tom

You fail to see the point. If they are ENTITLED to state aid when working full time there is a problem with the minimum wage. What they spend the money on maybe foolish in some circumstances but it doesn’t mean they are not eligible to receive it.

Over the years wages have been eroded in various ways. The introduction of the minimum wage was introduced to ensure people were paid a minimum wage. This has been interpreted as ’we can get away with only paying this’ by lots of employers now. The profits of large companies are artificially boosted by suppressing wages for workers. If people are working full time for the legal minimum wage and they still have to rely on state aid then the system must be broken. Tom

Is that a miniature bike or a huge ratchet? 😉

Yes it does 👍🏼

My son was one of the first employees in Monzo bank which is purely online with no branches. I was an early adopter of the bank as I felt I had to support him after I’d been with Barclays all my life. I’ve found it a breeze to use and now can look at my other accounts on the same app which is useful too.

I have found the easiest way to resize large sized photos is to email them to myself Tom

I think what needs to be done to get more workers into care homes is give them financial rewards they merit. Like most of this type of work, the rate of pay has been kept artificially low with cheap foreign labour and more workers than jobs. This has all changed now and care homes must stop being financial cash cows for owners and shareholders. They need to start investing in the people at the pointy end……. The carers. Once wages are tempting only then will they get quality staff who will stay long term.

I have just had to apply for 3 selective licences in Newcastle, I drew out the floor plans by hand and put the dimensions on. I then wrote “not to scale” these were accepted by the council good luck Tom

If “So” and “Look” etc grate on you I hop you’re not watching Question Time right now

If the wire is going into the switch from above it should be running vertically plumb so avoid putting any fixings there.

I watched a programme a while back about Jeff Lynn of E.L.O. I didn’t realise till then what a talented musician he is.

The old Motarolla startac was fantastic in its day. I wish they made a smart version these days.
