If the t-shirts are racist and been taken off sale, how comes the books are not racist and still on sale? Maybe because its not racist to have fluffy hair and Tesco are just "apologising" so the woman thinks she's been listened to.

Seen announcement on TV --- your free licence end July but no further notice.
Googled and here is the result.

So Joggy is my friend on facebook, which is nice.
But since she went on my friend list as the only Indian, it seems that half of India now wants to be my friend. I got about 250 requests waiting on top of the 100+ I accepted last night.

Much cooler day and Edward already has a 'bite' Pip waiting to bring in the catch, lol

Last week MPs voted to pass the Trade Bill without the amendments to uphold the UK’s high food standards.

While this isn’t the outcome we wanted, we want to say a big thank you to the 25,000 people who emailed their MP. Our team here at Which? was overwhelmed and heartened by your support and dedication.

During the debate several MPs mentioned the emails - it sent a powerful message about the importance of food standards and the strength of public feeling on this issue.

The Trade Bill was not our only chance for change and we're not going to stop fighting now. We'll keep you updated on proceedings as the Bill progresses through the House of Lords in the autumn. We still have time to protect our UK food standards.

With trade talks ongoing between the UK and US we look at what current food standards are like across the pond. We’ve compared the two countries' farming methods, from welfare to antibiotic use and explain what you need to know.




UK vs US farming



Thanks and best wishes,

Which? campaigns team

If you visit the Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org, you can go back in time to see a website how it was on a particular day, and, depending on the site, a particular time on that day. Here is the BBC website, click the year, then the day and time on the calendar: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bbc.co.uk

A woman who had worked in a bakery shop for 40 years has been sacked.
The shop manager had decided that customers had to pay by card only, but most of the older customers that were only buying one small bloomer loaf and a teacake, only had cash. So the woman serving them was taking their money, and then paying using her own card.
That is why she was sacked.
She said she couldn't face turning away so many of their regular customers

Edward and Pip were going to go fishing but have collapsed for a snooze in this heat by their fountain, lol

Have found that when I press more -- less sometimes the "thanks for down voting" flashes. I always put it right. But as the down voter has been mentioned before just like to point out how it can happen.

Why ? -- anyone know ?

Does not matter your gender or what age you are

If you are into cyber bullying you have gone too far

In bad behavior your actions seem small

In fact you are not a good person at all

To have to behave in such a manner it does seem

That you are one who suffers of low self esteem

You have to be full of self loathing to behave in such a way

Like every other cyber bully in the World of today

A cyber bully does not have anything on which to feel pride

Because of his or her bullying their victim has committed suicide

They try to build themselves up by putting others down

Such people are never an asset to their side of the town

A cyber bully will never become the person of the year

And of too many deaths due to them of late we do hear.

For the Supermarkets who have not pledged not to stock our standard of food. If they get a lot of emails with message "I will not shop anymore with you" they get the message.
Please note---one only has to send one email.
I just send one and passed it on.

Thank you for emailing major UK supermarkets asking them not to stock low-quality meat.

If you get a reply from any of the stores, please will you share it with the 38 Degrees team via this simple online form? That way, together, we can hold them to any commitments they make:
https://speakout.38degrees.org.uk/campaigns/7616/send_response

The more of us who contact these supermarkets, the more likely they are to feel the pressure. Please let your friends and family know about the campaign, so they can add their support. There's an email below you could forward if you like. Or, you could share the campaign on Facebook or Twitter:

Tonights dinner is going to be Stagg dynamite chili con carne with long grain white rice.
I have an already opened pot of sour cream in the fridge. The use by date on it is 10th July. So I must've opened and used some before then. It looks and smells ok. Should I use it tonight?

Hello all. I've just created the group 'Scams of any sort' as a central place to post scams, instead of in the various other groups, some of which are private, where others are not able to see them. In chat groups, they soon disappear from sight, and are not easy to refer to.
You can post scams of any type. If it is not from personal experience, please check its veracity if you can; Snopes.com is a good reference. I shall be posting IT scams as I become aware of them, and you, of course, can do the same. To join click here: https://www.scooploop.com/groups/scams-of-all-types

I am reposting this as I have discovered that you cannot post a video in a comment.
Would you explain what the TV channel .blu does? The channel continually shows and talks about photos of Lotto tickets, and has one-minute countdowns with a phone number. It is broadcast on various other time-sharing channels. I attach a video. Thanks.

I don’t know who wrote this but SOMEONE FINALLY put into words what I’ve been thinking and I couldn't agree more!

I’m sick of covid-19.
I’m sick of black vs. white.
I’m sick of labour vs conservative
I’m sick of gay vs. straight.
I’m REALLY sick of the media.
I’m sick of the language being used and plastered all over the media...

I’m sick of no-one being allowed to think what they want & feel what they do without offending someone.
I am sick of the people who are out there jumping on the bandwagon to protest just to cause mass confusion and more hatred and to riot, loot, and destroy...
I am sick of blaming the world for the sins of a few.

I like meat, again your choice not to eat meat, my choice to eat meat. End of.

I’m sick of people who think that 60yr old history is our fault... it’s history... get over it!!
We’re one race—the human race. We All Matter!!
You want to support Boris Johnson, You do it! It’s your choice.
You want to support Starmer? Fine... also your choice!
You want to believe in God? Ok, believe in God.
You want to believe in magical creatures that fly around & sprinkle fairy dust to make life better? Awesome... you do it!!
BUT how about being mature enough to be able to deal with the fact that everyone doesn’t have the same exact mind-set as you. Having our own minds is what makes us all individuals and beautiful. If you can’t handle that fact....I’m sorry!! I don’t have to agree with everything you believe in.

This made me laugh

And Germans are good at engineering.
A lecturer has been sacked because one of his Woke colleagues said that his comments were racist.

They are going to make the Tesco shop staff do the cleaning, including cleaning the toilets.
Knowing them they will have someone clean the toilets in the morning and move them on to the deli counter in the afternoon.

To anyone who was following the aborted iPlayer post, here is an example of a volume control preventing you from hearing something. In this instance, a Youtube video is playing at full volume in Firefox, but is inaudible due to the slider on the right being down. Note the speakers are at full volume. Another example is, if you have a set top box with its output volume turned down, it does not matter how high you turn your TV up.

I may have asked this before but ....
Why is BBC I Player so quiet ? i can't hear it properly even at full volume, headphones on laptop make it better but don't work on tablet.
Had subtitles on by they were out of sync. with the talking.
All other catch up channels are okay.

Would you explain what the TV channel .blu does? The channel continually shows photos of Lotto tickets with one minute countdowns. Thanks.

Every e mail notification I get from here has got hands [clapping ?] after my name - is everyone getting this and what's it all for ?

China appears to have put the world in the current position.
Will you avoid buying and using Chinese goods, products and services as much as possible?
I'm not sure it is possible, we may have left it too late!!

A couple bought a country cottage in Cumbria on the show. They thought it came with the nice garden as shown, but only the first 5 feet of land was theirs. The rest of the garden belonged to the farm next door.
It also turned out the auctioneer was also the vendor. He later admitted mis-describing the property. The episode was dropped.

This is not the actual version of the song played on BBC Radio 6 , but it has the easiest to hear lyrics. There are better versions.

Hi
Do any of you know of someone with concrete breaking equipment who could break up some concrete in my partners's front garden?

I'm planning to put down some new paving there but first I need to get rid of a slab of concrete about 2 metres by 4 metres and about 8 cm thick.

I tried using a hand held electric concrete breaker but although it went through the other old paving easily this slab is proving to be tougher and I think it needs something a bit more heavy duty to break it up.

I suspect it would be a fairly quick job for someone with the right equipment.

My partner lives in Cobham, not far from the A3/M25 junction.

Cheers

Tony

Hope you are o.k. Have not seen you around for a while.

Not likely these days...........

Have you bought anything online recently?…

Almost 34% of all retail sales during May 2020 were carried out online, and new research suggests that only 16% of UK consumers intend to return to their old shopping habits post-lockdown.


Online shopping fraud during lockdown

Action Fraud, the UK’s national reporting centre for fraud and cyber crime, received over 16,000 reports relating to online shopping and auction fraud during the lockdown, with losses totalling over £16m. Members of the public have reported buying mobile phones (19%), vehicles (22%), electronics (10%) such as games consoles, AirPods and MacBooks , and footwear (4%) on sites such as eBay (18%), Facebook (18%), Gumtree (10%) and Depop (6%), only to have the items never arrive.



Top tips for shopping online securely:


Choosing where to shop:
If you’re making a purchase from a company or seller you don’t know and trust, carry out some research first. For example, by checking to see if others have used the site and what their experience was.




Email accounts:
Use a strong, separate password for your email account. Criminals can use
your email to access other online accounts, such as those you use for online shopping.


Scam messages:
Some of the emails or texts you receive about amazing offers may contain links to fake websites. Not all links are bad, but if you’re unsure don't use the link, go separately to the website. And remember, if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.


Payment method:
If you decide to go ahead with the purchase, use a credit card if you have one as other payment providers may not provide the same protection.



What to do if you’ve fallen victim to online shopping fraud

We all make mistakes and these days the scams can be incredibly convincing.

If you think you’ve visited, or made a purchase on, a bogus website, you should first, take a note of the website's address, then close down your internet browser. You should then report the details to Action Fraud and contact your bank to seek advice.

Whether you've been a victim of fraud will depend on how much information you’ve provided to the website, so keep an eye on your bank transactions, if you can. Contact your bank immediately about anything that you don’t recognise, even small amounts.
