Argos has identified 17 Bush tumble dryers that pose a potential fire risk.
Working with Milton Keynes Trading Standards, Argos has identified several models that require additional maintenance to make sure they aren’t dangerous.
This comes just a few weeks after the government announced its intention to serve Whirlpool a recall notice for its 500,000 unmodified fire-risk tumble dryers. We need a strong
product safety system to ensure that people are safe in their homes.
See the full list of affected Bush tumble dryers and find out what you should do if you have one.

A new version of Monopoly has been launched in America in which female players get more money to start. $1900 against $1500 for males. And when they pass Go they get $240, the men get $200
There's also something about buying things invented by women, like cupcakes and jam.

£435 to remove 3 teeth and clean others. Not my dog fortunately but vets' fees are becoming a joke. I'm not sure teeth are covered by insurance anyway. I really don't know what you would do if you haven't the money - owning any animal now is almost as bad as running a car, one of life's luxuries.
Gunman shoots himself with shotgun
He was trying to smash a car window with the butt of the gun when it fired and killed him. Inside the car was his intended victim a rival gang member.
The local mp tweeted, "Saddened to learn about the fatal shooting, my thoughts are with the victim and his family"
Just goes to prove that a lot of these "Our thoughts and prayers" statements are just said but not really meant.
I just think tragic events from stabbings to hurricanes are sad, but don't go overboard praying about them.

You wait ages to see 1 electric car then........
Seven pass by in a row.
Standing in my local high street chatting to a friend when I noticed not one but two BMW I3's drive by. Then followed by a Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf, Tesla, VW E-Golf and Audi E-Tron.
To see more then one electric car in a day is still rare so to see seven in procession must be the same odds as Kosovo beating England 0-5 tonight.
I'm sure it can't be just coincidence, but I've not seen anything on Orpington Gossip or other pages about it
Today is World Suicide Prevention Day
I think many of us will know someone who has taken their own life and will have seen the distress associated with this. It is the biggest killer of young people with an alarming rise in suicides amongst those under 25s in recent years.

To set the scene;- I have two phones one being hands free which was upstairs with a display.
Just fed the cats after watering the garden so when the phone rang(no display) I answered it the message was" Your internet has been compromised by hackers. Please press 1" . Thanks to various warnings on here ,I replaced the phone immediately. On the "hands free" I checked the previous call which showed it was international and the time, 10.48. I then dialled 1471 which gave the number 01865375496 and the time 10.48.
evidently the same call.I am getting calls on a daily basis usually from different numbers many of them now barred. I am running out of space.
Be aware of the time wasters! (less)
HB -
The deadline has been set. In a significant win for our End Dangerous Products campaign, all manufacturers must stop making plastic-backed fire-risk fridge freezers for sale across the EU by 11 July.
When the new safety standard comes in, these potentially dangerous machines won’t pass the test. Flammable plastic backing can dramatically accelerate the spread of flames in the event of a fire in your home.
Putting a stop to these machines is a massive win for our campaign, and it’s thanks to people like you who continue to support and challenge the system.
We expect retailers to stop selling them immediately. And we’ll keep an eye out for anyone flogging them cheaply to get rid of existing stock. Read more about the refrigeration saga and let us know if you see any discounted models.

Already today had 2 from Mastercard saying my card has been used to spend £600 in a foreign country. And HMRC called to say there is a warrant for my arrest because I returned some mail to them unsigned.
Heard this on our local radio station. What song does Brexit bring to mind, here are a couple to start the ball rolling.
1. There coming to take me away ha ha.
2. Never ending story.
3. Can't get no satisfaction.

Wouldn't normally bother with this division but my local team Bromley are live on BTSport tomorrow evening. They are travelling up North to a strange land called Essex to play both Dagenham and Redbridge at the same time.
My prediction 0-2 to Bromley.

I wondered if anyone would be interested in starting a travel group?
So when anyone is travelling somewhere, be it a holiday or just another part of the country, one could ask fellow members what it’s like or travel tips etc.
My husband and I are driving down to Amersham tomorrow morning. Is there anyone on here from around that area?

Poor man's Chateau - The Great Hotel Escape
Loving this programme. I found it by chance as it's a late afternoon slot (Channel 4, 4-5pm) and now record for later. It's so interesting and a bit quirky. Knocks spots of the other one now, in my opinion! Has anybody else seen it.
And have I posted in the right place?

Naga Munchetty
Susanna Reid
Nish Kumar
My nomination would go to Steph McGovern - more for her Shop Well For Less programme than any other.
