And in other news, the Pope appears to be Catholic. What gave it away? The collapsing ceiling in one of the courtrooms, narrowly missing an usher? The cells that flood every now and then, closing the court to custodies? The persistent vermin problem?

My experience is the opposite - it’s men after relationships end (some very short). I’ve found the fixation on a vague acquaintance to be more unusual.

Had to buy emergency Skechers last year due to sudden plantar fasciitis. They are now my favourites.

The Modern Slavery Act was a Theresa May (broken clock moment) creation.
It contains all the tools and obligations to tackle MS at the root.
It relies on treating victims as victims. This is the problem, though. That is seen as a dodge by police etc so they get low hanging fruit, not bosses.

Can’t believe I agree with JRM on anything, yet here he is. The perfect example of a stopped clock.

Slight tangent, but I also find it interesting that the single women in our folklore and fairy tales (even the widowed ones) are so often evil, witches and/or crones. As if single women are just *bad*.

Exactly. The women who spun yarn earned money for it, which meant that they did not have to marry to survive.
