Recently went through the renewal process for FAC and SGC in London. Forms sent in Time etc, received An extension letter and within a couple of weeks had a telephone interview with my FAO. All good and granted. Plus side was I saved money on biscuits.

I’ve been using them for 3yrs now consistently hover around the £400 region (3.0d Isuzu trooper swb) based in London. It’s by far the cheapest I’ve paid for insurance on this vehicle.

I am by no means a Boris fan..but, I think so far he has handled this in the best way he possibly could. it seems the 2 possible paths are, herd immunity, risky as you are basically sayImg let’s rip the plaster off and those that die, die. Though I can see the argument for let’s let the majority get infected and therefore kill off the virus. the other option is lockdown. Again it has its pros and cons, pros slow down infection rate, and ease pressure on the NHS, and if the lockdown is long enough, those infected would have isolated long enough to have become immune and virus free. The cons are, once the lockdown is lifted the spreading starts again and we are back to square one ( length of lockdown is important) increased testing may hold the key to which scenario is chosen. this is just my view on things, I’m a 55yr old Londoner with an underlying health condition that is absolutely crapping my pants that this thing will kill me!! on a side note, I’m making my own hand sanitiser, ingredients are, acetone, aloe Vera gel, and tea tree oil (to make it smell nice) google for quantities. make no mistake people this is not a London thing, this WILL find your communities. stay safe and look after the most vulnerable amongst you.

We had three settings, two tone,Yelp and wail. I think the idea was you changed the siren from one to the other when approaching a junction. Or as sometimes in my case I’d change between all three and try a play a tune.

We only got paid to sleep between 00:00 to 06:40. I don’t know how we coped lol

As a firefighter we used a lot of the knots mentioned, one of my favourites was the chair knot. When I first went to station the senior hand laid a line on the floor and when he picked it up it was a running bowline. I still don’t know how he done it.

Edit your subject heading and delete “ about their age”

i once used mine to shepherd some escaped sheep into a corner. Then helped the farmer to get them back to where they should be and repair the fence.

Most of the above. Driving standards- here in London it’s atrocious. 2nd referendum- I was a remainer, but would definitely vote leave purely to uphold the original vote. female eyebrows- what the hell is going on there? They look weird!! victims having less rights than the perpetrators- why? prison sentences- life should mean life. british airways- they scammed me out of £198, and are now ignoring my emails. (Ok it’s a personal one but it “kin” annoys me) vegetarians- if we stopped eating meat, where would we put all the animals we’ve stopped killing? And how would we feed them? Respect- it’s not a given, you have to earn it, you don’t get it just for being a woman/ethnic minority/pleb/or young. the above is in no particular order they are just some of the things that annoy me at the moment, I’m sure the list will get bigger as I get older and grumpier.

My reading was that shooting was allowed, just not at a time or manner to annoy anyone.

Get and app called SkyView it’s really good if you’re into that sort of thing

Take the nettle muncher out of the equation, would you be so harsh if your sister ( or any other family member) were a vegan?

That would be the usual habitat, but also like a big log

Anyone got any idea what plant this is
