The BBC has apologised to Nigel Farage for misquoting him on Henry's case - again !

As we all know, 'cold rage is a form of intense anger that is controlled and expressed in a calm, calculated manner rather than through explosive outbursts'

Quote from: klondike on June 03, 2026, 11:07:03 AMI know when I started my wages were around £5 a week. I think they were paid weekly then too but for that job I had to open a bank account. Most of my working life pay was monthly but I don't recall which job that started with. Must have been a stretch waiting for that first monthly payment.

I had to open a bank account too Klondy, I guess my salary was around £5 and a few coppers a week too.  I don't remember how much I gave to my Mum, do you ?

Should he be tall with black hair
Or old, filthy rich and confined to his chair

What a load of rubbish on this thread!
I've had BBC Radio4 and BBC Radio Solent on all morning and they've never stopped recounting the horrors of the Nowak case, and reporting the local riots in the street in St Denys where the murderer's family live(d?)

I shall watch BBC 1 News at 6pm followed by the local BBC South Today and I imagine this hot topic will be first on the agenda and covered fully.

Many were but my first job was in a small office of a big company and the pay went into your bank account. No card payments in those days so you went into the branch and cashed a cheque. I had other jobs later that paid cash.

It was a company called Midland Assurance and I think it was Midland bank too so maybe they were both in the same group.

Yes I seem to remember it was weekly pay too.   And I'm not sure, but wasn't it cash, too?

At the moment the sun sets around 10.10pm, but true darkness rarely settles in the summer months.
