Goody Two Shoes. Fighting the far right in a northern seaside town.
Timely reminder that you can own a nice car and still have a blue badge.

I employ staff and earn money.

I remarkably manage this despite not being able to stand for any length of time because *shock* that isn’t a requirement of being a boss.

So both our shop’s tills use a connected EPOS system with connections to all online marketplaces and Royal Mail. Because internet connection is so important we made sure we had a back up 4G connection with our broadband.

Both supplied by Vodafone 🤦‍♀️

It’s been a difficult afternoon.

One of my nominations for Room 101 would be superfluous paper/card on greetings cards.
Print the message on a single bit of card that folds once please & I don’t need the greeting on a separate piece of paper.

If I give you card like that, it’s a subtle hint that you are not beloved.

Hubby only just learned that when in a restaurant women always sit in the seat where they feel safest.

Commented that in our row of tables all the women were in the seat with their back to the wall and didn’t know why.

Married nearly 20 years and we still live in different universes.

Fortune Cookie Hack;
Add the words ‘in bed’ to the end of your fortune for an amusing ending to your takeaway.

Even better let all the adults know the rules and you don’t even need to say it out loud - that way your kids will be confused as to why you are sniggering at your fortune.

I hear Andrea Jenkyns is gearing up to sing the Charlie Kirk reimagining of the Horst Wessel Lied.

If you haven’t already done so turn autoplay OFF in settings.

Zoomed in & clipped video of Charlie Kirk doing the rounds and you will see EVERYTHING in horrendous detail in the time it takes to scroll past.

Just spoken to a US based customer (I’m UK) confused as to why their repeat order shipped this week is held at the border and going to cost money to release.
Yes, it is going to cost more than last month’s identical order.
No. However much you say it is, it’s absolutely not our fault.

Going to a gig but not able to go as part of a group because I’m disabled is one of the many ‘perks’ of my life.
Want to go with my husband and daughter but one will only be able to sit with me and the other will have to sit or stand alone.
They can’t swap through the evening.

Are you fucking kidding me? He wanted to leave! He provided fuck all opposition to Brexit.

This is no better than Reform promising mad shit but the difference is, unlike JC, Reform can win, even under FPTP but especially with the emergence of Corbyn’s party.

He just keeps helping Farage.

So for the last 24 hours we have been harassed by this seagull.
From 5am yesterday it has been repeatedly tapping on the window with its beak, or staring coldly at me while I go about my day.

Alfred Hitchcock vibes.

If you support the right of UK millionaires to live in any other country to avoid tax, you should support the right of workers from any other country to live in the UK and pay tax. At least be consistent.

Look at how stark this: Reform has clear leads among voters who have the lowest life satisfaction, while Labour is ahead among those with the v.highest life satisfaction.Further evidence rise of Reform (and greens) being driven by “I may as well roll the dice” dissatisfaction with status quo
Really strong connection between life satisfaction and voting intention - people with low life satisfaction are much more likely to take a risk on a smaller or newer party, Labour is only comfortably ahead on people who give their life satisfaction at 10/10

💥 Reform UK says it's a £350m scandal.
🧐 It's actually… a spreadsheet.

Before you light the torches, maybe check what a framework is first?

This is what Brexiters told you Britain would be like after Brexit. If we'd known the truth back then, we would have never left the EU.
