Yes, unfortunately.
However, the police and the courts don't seem particularly interested in the shoplifting problem.  Even worse was the recent example of a store detective being sacked for doing his job.  If that particular company decided that his actions were incorrect, perhaps they will be happy to watch a steady stream of shoplifters helping themselves, happily watched by their 'store detectives'.

Their stupid idea of sacking the bloke simply for doing his job, should in my view result in their company losing money hand over fist, and see how they like it!

A woman tried that with me. I'm not a dog owner, but handed her a paper bag
from my shopping and waited and watched her.

A blind gentleman who lived near always cleaned up after his dog and always
refused help.

Even Mc Donalds do it !  after my six year old grandson has beaten me to tapping in the order, it comes us do I want to pay extra for charity !  I just round it up.

Just a glimmer of sunshine here now. About time. I expect it will still be chilly. I ordered something from Toolstation yesterday that was oos but supposed to be in today. No notification it's in yet. I expect it will still be cold and windy later but will probably still take a walk and pick it up.

They are asking me to review the drills that they haven't even told me are ready to pick up yet 

What a change from yesterday, really dull here today. 

Of course it's not only dogs....



That one would have benefitted from a roundabout sign. Perhaps the council will erect one.

Well the comment is  but the fact of it is indeed 

Except that certainly isn't allowed these days.

Wrong value type sent to the database. IPv4 or IPv6 expected.(ip)

I just started getting the error above and it wouldn't clear. Will see if I can find what it means.

Anway...

Tried on my phone - no problem
Tried using a different browser - no problem.
Cleared browser cache - fixed the problem.

If you see this remember the solution to try.

Seems it was probably a glitch. Somehow my IP was not being passed and the code can't handle nulls. There are very old reports all of which were fixed.

It is all very sad... 
I love walking around a town , especially in new places that I visit..
Looking in shop windows and seeing a variety of different shops..
Unfortunately shops have dwindled down.. many closing..
Covid can not take the full blame.. Councils are greedy .. and shoplifting is rife..
Causing many small shops to close down
Napoleon Bonaparte described this country  'A Nation of shopkeepers '
... unfortunately ... no more...
