Ban loops less than average wait times,

I remember noticing years ago the DWP PIP hold music was less than 1 minute long, and the announcement that you were on hold was about 3 seconds shorter, so each time it got slightly earlier on the loop. Expected wait times were 40min-90 min.

how is it possible for the same small area simultaneously to be a popular green leisure space, a mess of drug running on motorcycles and flooded most of the time?

Any mobility product sold without malice or negligence should be clear with purchasers about the legal situation for its use on the road.

When they don’t mention anything, as if no rules exist at all - I wonder what other rules they treat as non-existent, eg safety regs.

I meant the ones that are advertised as mobility scooters, sold online, don’t tell buyers about the health related eligibility to use one legally, don’t give a class but also aren’t registered as out of class - aren’t legal to use other than on private land, but they are sold as mobility scooters.

I’ve seen all sorts of “mobility scooters” being sold online that were actually illegal motorbikes.

These are the problem. Not people with safe, tested, “real,” legal mobility scooters.

This is a trading standards / consumer issue, and should be addressed as such!

Did they tell you at the intro what the dept policy was?
-> did you read it?
-Yes: stop procrastinating with this chart!
-No: Time to get baking your best chocolate cake to bribe the admin team to tell you again.

Someone’s not been reading the guidance!

Speaks well of Doc seeing both Sneezy and Dopey as people and friends first rather than medical problems to solve, and waiting to be asked.

A four-day week has been on @greenparty.org.uk manifestos since 2017. 💚

We should all have extra time for family and friends, hobbies, or new qualifications, or simply for some decent rest and time away from work.

A four-day working week could be on its way, MP says
