A bit like a tax rebate - would be nice to get but extraordinarily unlikely. I wonder if they shut the car washes. I've forgotten what colour mine is supposed the be.

Needed a good hiding at the very least 

Make him ask a crocodile for that "sex act" they so coyly didn't name.

Finally got a human response on the 5th working day. They deleted the account as was suspected and I set it up again. It would have been identical to the old one except they increased the minimum password to 15 characters. I expect the shorter password the account already had lead to the issue. If so they'll probably get plenty of these - who ever decides on a 15 character password unless it's forced.

Of course now the earliest I can contact the GP is Monday morning.

Rain?
What's that?!

: Iranian "asylum seeker" Mohammad Alizade, 32, has been jailed for 10 months for pulling his pants down and dragging an 18-year-old stranger into a bush in the quiet market town of Todmorden.

• Mohammad Alizade, 32, residing in Fern Street, Bradford, approached an 18-year-old in Todmorden.

• Whilst high on cocaine, he tried to pull the teenager into nearby bushes, then pulled down his own shorts and demanded a sex act.

• He was found guilty of sexual assault and exposure.

• Alizade was also sentenced for shoplifting, assaulting a shop security guard by trying to bite him, and possession of a knife.

• The offences were committed while he was already subject to a suspended prison sentence and a community order.

• Alizade had been committing offences between 2021 and 2026. He was given a 22-month suspended prison sentence for supplying Class A drugs in 2024, and was made subject of a community order later that year.

• Judge Ahmed Nadim said Alizade was being sentenced for offences committed on three separate occasions between December 2025 and June this year.

Yes an awful job, particularly when it's so hot !

I bought some tape from Temu to deter the pigeons.  I put it on my washing line and fences and it has stopped them congregating in groups..  I see the odd one, but they are avoiding this shiny, noisy tape
