It’s an oldie but a goodie 😄

This has to be a joke by the person who started this petition.

Personally I could never see why anyone found this acceptable in the first place. What do members think?
Were any of you big fans?

True - for most 😂

The tearing down of a statue is just the start - please note how few people were wearing masks and how they have all forgotten we are in ‘lockdown’ and people are not supposed to be in groups of more than 6.

The only way to pull off a lockdown afternoon 'quickie' with their 8-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Mars Bar and tell him to report on all the street activities.

He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:

'There's a car being towed from the car park,' he shouted.

'An ambulance just drove by!'

'Looks like the Andersons have company,' he called out.

'Matt's out on his bike and his mum is telling him off'

'Looks as if the Sanders are going into full isolation!'

'Jason has had his skate board taken off him

After a few moments he announced, 'The Coopers are having sex!!'

Startled, his mum and dad shot up in bed!

Dad cautiously called out, 'How do you know they're having sex?'

'Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Mars Bar'

This morning I saw the story of this lovely little boy, whose birth parents abuse caused him to lose both of his legs.

Now at the age of 5 he is trying to raise funds for those that helped him. The link to the fundraising page is in this newspaper article

And though it seems crazy it’s almost

Today's answer is
Gran Sasso
What was the question?
From previous guesses in Pastime, Peter has got the question partially right. It is the name of a mountain. But it also gives its name to something else.

at last - but should apply to shops too!

It means over 60s will not be entitled to free travel before 9am on weekdays, but disabled Freedom Pass holders will be unaffected.

I noticed today that if you down vote it is registered before it is applied. Anyone heard anything about this?

Friend of mine got this phonecall today.

Telephone call:-‘Good morning, I'm calling from the NHS test and trace service. According to our system, you are likely to have been in close proximity to someone who has tested postive for COVID-19. This means that you now need to self-isolate for 7 days and take a COVID-19 test.'
'OK. Can you tell me who that person was?'
'I'm not able to tell you that. That is confidential information.'
'Right. Um... so ....'
'But you do need to be tested within the next 72 hours. So can I just get the best mailing address so that we can send a kit to you?'
'Ok (gives address)'
'Thank you - and I just need to take a payment card so that we can finalise this and send the kit to you.'
'Sorry - a payment card? I though this was all free?'
'No - I'm afraid not. There is a one-off fee of £500 for the kit, and test results. Could you read off the long card number for me, please, when you're ready.'
'No - that's not right. This is part of the NHS so there's no charge.'
'I'm afraid there is. Can you give me the card number please - this is very important, and there are penalties for not complying.'
Puts phone down.

The friend said 'if they had asked for a £5 (or less) fee to cover the postage, many would fall for this and your bank account could be wiped out'

My sister has received a letter out of the blue from the above, saying that electric cabling runs under her property and she has been offered compensation of £150. Bungalow (by the coast) is probably 80s built, she and her late husband have lived there for about 25 years. Sorry my knowledge of the letter contents is a bit sketchy as I can only remember bits she read out to me. All this has come totally out of the blue and she didn't know about the cabling running under the bungalow. I've just read that they take a percentage of what is offered. I'm wondering if she should take solicitor advice - if she can at the present time.
