Why does Bowser allow Peach to send letters (with an extra life attached). Is his surveillance that poor?

It's also giving Railcard because if you claim for a free prescription when you don't have one you can get a penalty!!!

Also, they did not send me a reminder one month before. Shock.
Renew your certificate You need to speak to your GP or doctor to apply for a new certificate. We'll send you a reminder around one month before your current certificate expires. It's your own responsibility to check that your certificate is valid when you claim free NHS prescriptions.

Utterly, utterly astonishing how little British police seem to care about crimes like these, when people literally have trackers showing where their stolen stuff is! Time and again we see that following leads like this can result in smashing organised crime.

Screenshot of London Centric A phone theft victim does the legwork to lead the Met to an organised crime gang. You might have seen this week’s coverage of the phone theft gang that was smashed by the Met police. The police said the gang may have shipped 40,000 stolen phones from the UK to China, around 40% of all the devices reported stolen in the capital in a given year. The only embarrassing thing for the Met is that their mega investigation seems to have been prompted by a member of the public using Apple’s Find My feature to track their iPhone to a warehouse near Heathrow, where they alerted security to a large box of stolen phones, who in turn eventually got the police to take it seriously. Whether the gang would have been found out without that enterprising member of the public doing their own detective work is unknown, although it shows that a basic bit of legwork can make the difference.

Only protester outside Tory conference in Manchester at the moment. Back in 2021 as a student journalist I remember it was heaving with protesters.

A sign that nobody really cares about them anymore?

Why do these parking spaces need to be suspended just because the Conservatives are having a conference a short distance away?

Arrived at St Pancras. Bike disassembled and in a bag, carrying all my bags - no trolleys provided. £50 per bike. Not allowed to reassemble on platform as customs must see the red tag on the bag, apparently.

Thanks Eurostar!

Because of different Railcard restrictions times on Oyster vs buying a ticket, it's £1.20 cheaper per day to buy a return ticket in advance than to use Oyster.

Stupid.
