Thanks FedEx. Was going to do Lidl early but their email gave 8:30 to 12:30 as the delivery window. Turned up a 3:00 by which time it was raining. It had been dry all morning.

Why did HG Wells set War of the Worlds in England not the USA?

Because when the Martians landed they wanted to meet intelligent life forms.

I woke up at 5am this morning .. made a cup of tea and took it back to bed.. Had a look out of the window and saw a beautiful red fox strolling up the road..
I have a street light and school security lights .. It is never really dark outside my home..

Our country once great, is going down the pan
How long, I wonder, till we are led by an honest man
'Honest man', hmm, what's one of those
Or honest woman? Heaven knows
If anyone can sort it ,Tracey round the Co-op can

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 07:56:00 AMI wear culottes ...skirts or a frock..
Baggy sweatpants indoors.. I have been known to pop to the shop in them.. I am tough.. I don't care.. :nooo:
I tried culottes once.  I'm afraid they didn't suit me, and Marge laughed her socks off.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 08:08:05 AMFrom what I read of Hindley she was the 'Boss' inside the prison and had a large following... If I remember correctly I think the West killer was one of her 'sidekicks'..

And that evil Letby who killed all those babies has found friends inside..

They are living it up.. Fed , watered.. health checks and never cold..
They can sit chatting to their friends .. about the horrors they inflicted on others..

And woe betide any guard that might say something that they do not like..

I fully agree.  Prisons used to be a place of punishment: hard physical work, low quality food, six to a cell, physical punishments for bad behaviour, etc.
Career criminals don't give a toss about being sent to prison these days, and they're usually out in no time.
Has it not occurred to those in power that there is an obvious reason for the massive increase in crime these days?
We wouldn't need to pay for more prisons either: the existing ones would be a deterrent and the outcome would be fewer people breaking the law and being sent to prison.
