I have a very heavy collection tomorrow, time stated for collection is 12 am - 11.59 pm.
Am I correct in thinking this is 12-midday to 12-midnight? I'm getting conflicted opinions, I've Googled and it seems they are confused too. If 12 am is early morning, it could be a 24-hour wait for collection. It's via Amazon but not Amazon so different set-up. Not looking forward to it one bit.

Hillbilly Moms Letter Dear Son, I'm writing this slow 'cause I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we moved. Won't be able to send you the address as the last Arkansas family that lived here took the numbers with them for their house, so they wouldn't have to change their address. This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven't seen 'em since. It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and four days the second time. The coat you wanted me to send to you, Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. We got a bill from the funeral home, and it said if we didn't make the final payment on Grandma's funeral bill, up she comes. About your sister, she had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether if it is a boy or girls so dont know if you are an Aunt or Uncle??? Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to get him out, but he fought them off playfully, so he drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup. One was driving and the other two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. The other 2 drowned. They couldn't get the tailgate down. Not much more news this time. Nothing much happened. If you don't get this letter, please let me know and I will send another one. Love, Mom -

*Knowledge is key* *What is the biological phenomenon that appears in human gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function when they are growing older?* This is known as *Sarcopenia*! *Sarcopenia* is a gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function... the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength as a result of aging... The situation may be terrible, depends on individual. Let's explore & analyze multiple ways to prevent *sarcopenia* thus: 1. Develop the habit, if you're able to stand... just don't sit, and don't lie down if you can sit! 2. Whenever an elderly person falls ill, and get admitted to the hospital, do not ask him/her for more rest, or to lie down, relax and/or not get out of bed... It's not helpful. Help them take a walk... Except if they lost stamina to do so. Lying down for a week causes loss of at least 5% of muscle mass! And unfortunately, the elderly can't recover the loss muscles! Usually, most seniors/elderly who hire assistants loses muscle faster than the active ones! 3. *Sarcopenia* is more terrifying than osteoporosis! With osteoporosis, one just need to be careful not to fall, while sarcopenia not only affects the quality of life but also causes high blood sugar due to insufficient muscle mass! 4. The fastest loss of muscles (atrophy) is through idleness in muscles of the legs... Because when in sitting or lying position, the legs do not move, and the strength of the muscles of the legs are directly affected... This is especially important to pay unto utmost attention! Going up and down stairs... walking, running and cycling are all great exercises, and can increase muscle mass! For a better quality of life at old age... Move... & don't waste your muscles!! Aging starts from the feet upwards! Keep your legs active and strong!! ▪️ As we grow older on a daily basis, our feet should always stay active and strong. If you don't move your legs for just 2 weeks, your real leg strength will decrease by 10 years. Therefore, *regular exercises such as walking, cycling etc. are very important*. The feet are a kind of columns that bear the entire weight of the human body.... So, *_Walk every day!_* Credits goes to the respective author ♥️ -

Changes to Bromley Council Parking times Just read this on Facebook- better not say what I think. Car-park changes to times: Bromley Council has decided to extend parking charges to up to 9pm Monday to Saturday, and all day Sunday (previously free at these times), in addition to cancelling free parking for Blue Badge holders. as from April. As this could have an affect on evening and Sun day businesses, restaurants, Clubs hiring halls, and Church attendance, what do others think? -

Copied from F/book - It will be a disgrace if this happens, unbelievable. I've been going there for many years and so much goes on there for people's well-being. 'Charging for car parking in Norman Park Bromley council are proposing to charge people for parking in Norman Park. There's a meeting of the relevant committee on Wed 20 Nov where the proposal is being tabled. It would be really helpful if you can email your local councillor expressing your concern- a) charges will act as a barrier to participation to weekly wellbeing events in the park (eg parkrun, Bees, track, football, sports centre, etc) b) there will be chaos in surrounding streets on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Norman Park is in the Hayes & Coney Hall ward. These are contact details for Hayes & Coney Hall Ward councillors 'Josh.Coldspring-White@bromley.gov.uk'; 'Alexa.Michael@bromley.gov.uk'; 'Thomas.Turrell@bromley.gov.uk'. For other Bromley councillors please see here https://cds.bromley.gov.uk/mgMemberIndex.aspx?FN=WARD....' -

This evening, a shocking BBC Panorama investigation will lay bare the stories of Revolut bank customers who say scammers took tens of thousands of pounds from their accounts and that Britain’s newest bank failed to protect them.* This comes just weeks after the payments regulator slashed reimbursement limits for scam victims by £330,000, in response to intense lobbying from payment firms and banks. None of us fall victim to scams because we’re intentionally careless, but because we’re ruthlessly manipulated by the increasingly sophisticated tactics of organised criminals. The explosive findings of tonight’s investigation hammer home a grim reality: without sufficient financial incentives for banks and payment firms to improve fraud security, we may all be at risk. Get the full story on BBC One at 8pm tonight. -

The payments regulator has just slashed the new mandatory reimbursement limit for fraud victims that would have forced banks to provide better protections. In a disgraceful move, the regulator has dramatically watered down vital new rules for firms to reimburse scam victims - slashing the limit from a proposed £415,000 to just £85,000. This comes just weeks before the new safeguards were due to come into effect. It is outrageous that the regulator is siding with fraud enablers in the payments industry at the expense of scam victims. This is a complete betrayal of scam victims and caves to months of lobbying from firms that refuse to take fraud seriously. Victims of high-value fraud, including house purchases, stand to have their lives destroyed by this screeching U-turn. Our director of policy and advocacy Rocio Concha, said: ‘This decision puts all of us at greater risk of being targeted by criminals because it reduces the incentives for banks and payments firms to take fraud prevention seriously.’ -

Not sure if this is the right place to post. Desktop no longer working for emails. Ok on tablet. Says not connecting, try again now but just goes round and round, can see the emails but can't access them. Have removed mains plug and left awhile this afternoon but still no joy. As mentioned can use this tablet so can't be broadband? Any suggestions, please, thanks. Might not be able to respond speedily! -

Gardener scam warning following a recent incident Trading StandardsEditor4 September, 2024 Bromley Trading Standards is reminding residents to be very wary of gardeners, tree 'surgeons', or any other traders offering their services through a card/leaflet or a cold call at your door. The warning follows a Police report from a resident regarding an incident with a scam gardener. The borough-wide warning follows an incident in Hayes and other reports in Chislehurst and Bickley. Rather than dealing with doorstep traders, the advice is to find a trusted trader for any work required, including getting a proper quote. In the Hayes example, an elderly resident had three men show up unannounced offering gardening services at the door. After a discussion, the resident had agreed to having the gardening work done for £180. The gardeners trimmed some bushes for a short period and told the resident upon leaving that it would be £380. When the resident questioned the traders, referring to the agreed price of £180, they accepted the original price instead. Whatever services are being offered at the door, it is important to note that, when dealing with doorstep traders, there is a risk of receiving poor quality work, being substantially overcharged, and difficulty to get any redress or comeback. Follow the advice below for what to do when dealing with doorstep traders, and consider using Bromley’s Trading Standards Checked to find a safe and trustworthy trader: DON’T: Don’t deal with traders at the door – it’s okay to say NO Don’t contact traders via leaflets that are delivered through the door – without making thorough checks beforehand Don’t pay large sums of money in advance – schedule payment as works progress Don’t assume rubbish removal is included Don’t accept that traders are members of an organisation because they use a logo Don’t be rushed into deciding – seek advice first from someone you trust DO: Do get several written quotes – prepare a clear detailed brief beforehand Do seek references, read reliable reviews, ask to visit previous jobs Do check directly with any reputable organisation named or whose logo is shown on a leaflet/website to make sure the trader is affiliated – if not, report to Bromley Trading Standards Do get a contract in writing before works commence. Check the T&Cs. You should be entitled to a 14-day cooling off period – with full written cancellation information and not just a mention on a leaflet or a tick box to say you agree Do check and verify a trader’s insurance -

Needing to clear some rubbish, biggish rugs, microwave, garden trellis and stuff, and odd bits and pieces and gone are my days of trotting off to the tip. Rubbish clearance firms need you to take a photo of what there is, which means getting them all together in a pile to begin with and I'm only a third-way through. The smallest skip is about £219, plus fridges, freezers or microwaves not allowed, next size up is into £300s. Hippo bag (size takes a bath and sanitary ware), with 20% off till end of August is £184, smaller size (90 cm sq) would be £152, plus hopefully can leave it down the sideway to fill and drag outside, hopefully with help, when collection time comes and to save everyone else filling it. For the extra £30 I'm leaning towards the bigger one. Anybody used a Hippo bag, please? -

Do you still pay VAT if the trader is not VAT Registered? I've tried looking it up but still totally confused as usual. Invoice in question is for replacement d/g window but there is no VAT number on the (hand-written) invoice. Received the original quote detailing cost of unit and labour and then I asked is that the total cost, and was told no, VAT is added. Which never fails to annoy me, I need the total cost but that is beside the point. Thanks. -
