Just tried the @Morrisons & @JustEatUK delivery as there was an offer on.
Ordered 15 items, receive message that 8 unavailable. Receive 5 items: one already refunded, two were smaller versions of the original product), and another 3 were missing. Will not use this service again.
Not sure what the issue is with replies to my own post, I was just commenting that I won't be interacting with these "support" accounts: @JustEatUKS7_ & @Morrisonschlp. Both having been created in Dec 2024, active a few days, looking for follow backs and telephone numbers via DM!
BBC sounds recommendations for this morning:
ALT BBC sounds recommendations, the first is news "Suella Braverman sacked" and the second is "drama of the week: she's not there"
I survived the #UKEmergencyAlert event.
The COVID WiFi nanobots didn't activate, no space lasers fired and no obvious lizard people activity.
Our dog did look up though! 🤔
Just popped in to my home office to check on some work and caught the single #lightning flash out of the corner of my eye followed by the almighty #thunder clap which shook the house. Thought it was over #Eaglesham to the west of #EastKilbride at about 22:55.
"Ministers will have to release papers, advice and correspondence relating to the award of contracts to PPE Medpro"... after they've all had a chance to drop their phones down the loo and forgotten their passwords... etc...

This marmalade dropper of a story is the culmination of two years of indefatigable reporting by @david_conn. Investigative journalism at its very best. theguardian.com/uk-news/2022…

The admission from Oliver Dowden that the gov is sticking with an onshore wind ban- and reversing the decision to lift it by Truss- will cost families billions in bills between now & 2030.
You can't be a clean energy superpower if you engage in unilateral energy disarmament.

Politics is full of passion. People might understand Williamson rage if he was angry at poverty in his constituency, or waiting lists, or crumbling schools. But no. What mattered more than anything was an invite to the Queen’s funeral. “People’s priorities” didn’t they say? 1/4

If the #ERG were to split they could have the following #Splitters:
RGE - Research Group for Europe
