they get dafter! Kate Nevens, needless to say a Green, wants to close all Scotland's prisons! A Green spokeperson, whilst not going quite that far, said the party wanted to se an end to 'mass incarcerations 'and focus on crime prevention and victim support (surely if they succeed in preventing crime, there won't be any victims! )

Free, in fact, if you have the nerve just to walk out with them!

Absolutely, and the Greenies seem to be acquiring more and more Pakistanis right now.
If there is no change before 2029, the GE will be effectively between Reform and the Greenies, though I now see a new party, 'Restore', piping up and who are likely to split the vote for Reform.
What a mess this country is becoming.

Lovely day and forecast to last all day!

Another lovely day here again, I'm going to a garden centre for coffee and cake !   

The manager of our local waitrose looks about 18 years old ! 
I expect he's not but he is young .
They don't have a security man at all .

Imagine voting for that.

I expect we can all remember when shops were different. Most of the goods were behind the counter and you had to pay for them before you got 'em. I can remember the first "help yourself" shops and thinking it would be tempting to thieves. I can foresee shops going back to this type of shop with a counter, or in some places, selling out of a little window like an American highway liquor store.

If there isn't more to the Waitrose story  than meets the eye, I do not see how a shop can sack their employee of 17 years for this, it's not even a case for a reprimand. If any action had to be taken, I would have thought some training in what the management wanted staff to do in the circumstances would have sufficed.
