Weston Super Saint

A stopped clock on the other hand....

Not if it's digital. Not if one of the hands falls off.

Swapped for what? pie and chips?

I agree with the vouchers - although they should have caveats about what can and can't be bought, but I think they did previously anyway??? You may be wrong about the Government's mates though - but you'd have to research the political leanings of the supermarket 'bosses' as it would be their profits rising...

Or, in other news, company makes circa 50% GP for it's product in an industry where 70-75% GP would be the norm. Unless you thought they were doing it for free other than the conspiracy theory of a donation to the Conservative party? For the record, I can't imagine for a minute that Chartwells will be heading down to their local Asda for their shopping needs, but will, like every other large catering company, be ordering in bulk from wholesalers. I imagine that they will therefore be achieving a reasonable 70% GP.

Because, to the overwhelming majority of people in the country (and world), it is. That doesn't detract from the fact that it can be devastating for those aged 70 and above and also those in certain at risk groups. Both concepts can exist concurrently.

Pony!

Annoying really, that wee Jimmy Krankie can put something together that is simple to understand and implement, yet the entire British government can't decide the definition of local!

#BrexitShambles

Metropolitan police Commissioner has her say on the definition of 'local' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55630164 Although I'm not holding my breath that egg will accept this definition and certainly won't take back his 'selfish cunt' accusations

A mere drop in the ocean compared to the famine of biblical proportions, outages of medicines and collapse of trade that was previously predicted to happen in the first week of January

My 'local' news on BBC covers from Glastonbury to Bristol (about 28 miles), so 7 would be well within that definition...

Plus it's giving him more headlines.

Maidstone is worse than Blackpool - no lights and no piers Oh, and I don't think they have a Lineker's bar either

The second coup in a week

None taken For me, the clarity is in the OP where the person was 'seconded' (personally I feel that this is the wrong term and perhaps 'relocated' would be a better one to use as seconded does indeed imply a return) at the request of the end client. Whilst no process or formal disciplinary took place (this could potentially be important if a dismissal were to happen, but the fact that the person then worked for six months after the move, therefore 'accepting' the relocation, could reduce the impact), unless the 'end client' in the original job has changed, then it is unlikely that they will want the person back doing the job they've requested someone else to do. That would then only leave alternative work within the company (if any is available) or redundancy / employment termination, depending on the length of service.

He's got "bucked teeth"???

Correct. They even managed to break a door. The one that was locked fooled them though, so they just stuck with going through the open ones. Oh, and they built a gallows about half a mile away. However, the only materials they had were an old pallet, some string and some nails, so the chance of it surviving the hanging of a child's teddy looked pretty slim. Still if that passes the stringent test for a coup, then so be it!

So you agree. A complete fantasy in their own minds.

I might go 'armed to the teeth' searching for an establishment that will sell me a 'Molotov cocktail'.

Jesus Wept! What overdramatic pony! Yes, we're all aware that a bunch of morons entered the Capitol building - what they thought they were going to achieve by doing so is likely just a fantasy in their own minds. But 'armed to the teeth with guns and molotov cocktails' is over egging the pudding considerably. I've absolutely no doubt that in a country that has a fundamental right for its citizens to carry guns that there were one or two of the morons with concealed weapons, but from all the pictures and video footage available, can you find one single picture that shows people 'armed to the teeth'?

Which one was he in the picture?

That was for your benefit. I've already said I've had confirmation from the local constable. That's good enough for me 😉

A definition... So, riding to an area that is open and largely devoid of traffic (like the Somerset levels) would appear to be well WITHIN the rules. Fancy that! https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/what-counts-your-local-area-4855820
