I remember when Scotland 'banned smacking', seeing in the paper a humorous cartoon depicting the Scottish-English border with a long queue of cars... It was captioned 'last smacking stop before Scotland' I looked it up at the time, I think the law was, no hitting children below a certain age (2 years?), not hitting the head, not hitting with any object, and not hitting hard enough to leave a mark. Smacking is not outright banned. Yes if someone complained the police could become involved, but you wouldn't be charged with anything unless one of the four rules above were broken, or there was some other aggravating factor.

One for the met office side! They forecast the end faster than magic seaweed I stuck in earplugs, added the awful music from the 'most terrible music you've ever heard' topic and whacked up the sound. Worked pretty well!

I thought youtube had a 10 min limit OMG I kinda like it now! Blocks the background weather and I keep wanting to untangle it! ha look!

Interesting 36 hours coming... sandwiched between a force 10 and a force 11 (according to magic seaweed)

Photographing anyone, fully clothed, should be no problem at all. As this woman has been warned, why not video it and take it to the police? If she cares so little about her actions, put several days worth on a DVD and hand it in

Wouldn't the letterbox idea mean you are damaging her property more than just putting it on her doorstep? Maybe when she steps through the door into it and her dog walks through it, and she has to spend her time cleaning it off her shoes, she might think about it some more.

The Waltons and LHOTP used to alternate on channel 4 IIRC. Loved them both Shame the only thing about the Waltons people remember is the 'Good night Johnboy' bit, as it's actually an interesting insight into the depression and war years... ... and I don't care if it's not cool

Scoop it up and leave it on her doorstep

I was out about 11.30pm and thought it looked a bit brighter north but there was cloud... and there is a blinding security light... so I went in Apparently another lot due in a few days time.

Might try going in there again. Last time it was dirty and horrible. If it's changed it might be worth having another look.

LBC delivery guys are great, very helpful. They do two types of coal, ordinary and premium house coal. Can't remember off hand the prices Price per bag depends on whether you want it delivered - there is no separate delivery charge. You can ring them and they will take card details over the phone, or go in. I think they deliver to places on specific days... ours is always on a friday.

I wonder if the cold caller was EDF marketing? I do checking via the internet.

You know it! This weekend I'm nice and relaxed

South end (only?) power cut last night, any idea how long it lasted? Went off 12.15am, I think it was still off when I woke up about 3.30am.
