Good morning all.   Hello! smiley 10
Bright and sunny here,  a good washing day by the looks of it.

Nothing much planned, other than some paperwork,  hoovering, and waiting for the chap over the road to come and and look at a bit of guttering over the bay window that looks a bit dodgy.

Have a good day all.

I remember years ago my son borrowed a big plastic cool box for a concert or festival. It never came back, I found out later what had happened to it and it wasn't good. It wasn't him or his mates to blame either he assured me.

My pedantic way of playing often leads to needing 5 or even 6 to get there but my current run without failing is

Statistics
1,058 Played
100    Win %
984    Current Streak
984    Max Streak


There's a badge for 1,000 so I'm not taking any chances with early guesses now. :grin:

Chucking out people already settled here and working who came legally when we were in the EU is probably a step too far for most. What about others who are also here legally and settled and were working but had health problems and can't work now? Ok to boot them out?

A lot of people are ok with not continuing to allowing those entering illegally to stay and drastically reducing legal inward migration. Maybe tracking down and deporting illegals involved in crime or even legals who turn to crime but we can't deport everybody with a bit of a suntan which appears to be Lowe's policy unless I misunderstood him.

560 arrests so far.
Drugs, weapons, sexual offences and violent assaults.
Police describe it as "positive & celebratory".
The policing cost alone was £15.74 million.


Not bad considering that over the two days the attendance was estimated at between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000
