I do know someone who, despite using the NCP app, and despite seeing the time they're parked in the car park ramp up during their stay, and despite NCP having their correct credit card details and car reg number, NEVER actually got charged the fee. So I can't say I'm surprised to see this

I will never not be annoyed by journalists and marketeers who mix up the use of "fewer" and "less".

Actually most don't bother to use "fewer" they just always use "less"

No, there were not less people there were FEWER people.

When I worked for the tourist office in Lochinver, this was the bane of our lives. It was company policy to put up the BBC weekly weather forecast (because of COURSE that was the most accurate) every day on the door of the visitor centre.

Folk would come in and say "we were thinking of doing XYZ but the forecast says it will rain .... is that correct?"

I constantly suggested to folk to look out the window, dress appropriately, and do what they planned.

The "wrong" side of stranded knitting is so lovely and satisfying. Could be a metaphor for life don't you think?

Feeling lost. Our favourite and best ever optician has retired :( Margaret Steventon was incredible as an optician, and could not be more caring and patient. I am so sorry to hear she has retired.

I think this character in Richard Osman's book was based on me 😂 . This is the character Joyce describing her first visit to Ikea:

"I’d heard a lot about Ikea but I’d never visited one because you don’t without a car, do you? Anyway it was everything I imagined and more. I lay on all the beds, and sat in all the armchairs and then in the end I bought a candle and some meatballs in the cafe. It was a thoroughly good day out and I would recommend it."

@kaasbaas@mastodon.africa Indeed. I know it isn't simple. I know it is complex. And there are always pro's and con's. But this kind of pre-election guff just makes me angry.
