I have never been an intentional supporter of the BBC... well, not for many years anyway.
Marge pays for the BBC Licence (I certainly wouldn't), and to be perfectly honest, we do watch some half-decent BBC films.
On the other hand, BBC News is right out!  Biased beyond belief.  We watch GB News in preference.

Quote from: Flying Bomb on April 15, 2026, 05:24:17 PMOnce again Sky News has beaten BBC. Sky were the only UK news channel
who have a reporter inside Iran in the capital.. Also Sky's, Mark Stone, talks to Trump on their mobiles !!
He chatted with Trump 2 nights running. Stone has one of Trump's
mobile numbers. Last night he spoke to Trump for 5 Minutes !


I pay BBC dear for a license, and being ripped off.
I have both apps on my IPad  I hit BBC first thing in the morning, but I use Sky during the rest of the day because it does update the news regularly whereas the BBC headlines remain the same for hours. I don't pay the licence fee so I shouldn't complain

Give us a system that's fair for UK
It's what most sensible people say
Will we ever see the day
When Cops take thieves away
Or even a cop who passes this way

I agree with you completely, Raven.    Every time I see plants outside supermarkets they are either dying or dead.
I can't understand how the staff get away with it.    I blame the Manager,  because he should ask the staff to water them regularly,  but he either doesn't check - or he doesn't care either.

Tesco must be losing money when they purchase these things,  but never get their money back,  because no one will buy them when they are all half dead. 
I wouldn't be surprised if the staff say its not part of their job description!    :rolleyes:

Too right .
This is madness .

Rupert Lowe sums it up well


"Working British families are struggling with high taxes and bills. Yet Labour wants to reward families who don't work and large households - many from overseas - with even more benefits!

This isn't about helping kids out of poverty. It's a desperate grab for votes from people who rely on the state.

The clear message from Labour? Have more children and stay on benefits - we'll pay for it."

I have always used postimages. I often try to use the add image to post at the bottom of the reply box but it seldom works for me, I think my photos are too big for it.
I have 3 big lawns to cut and I hate doing it, never used to bother me but since I smashed my leg up THEN, had the heart trouble it's getting harder to do. I was in Tesco earlier and looking at their big head Pansies but they were almost dead, I don't know why they can't just water the damn things. It's the same down in Perth's Tescos they are left to die and I refuse to pay full price for them.

More interesting photos.   
Lots of grass there to cut, Vlad.   That should keep you out of mischief for a little while.   :grin:



Does everyone use Postimages  to show their pictures,  or is there another way?
