    Then onto that disgraceful behaviour by The Post Office and that dodgy software. Why more people haven't gone to prison for that debacle is beyond me.

      Never understood that PO thing. Dodgy software might show money missing from the account but surely, for a conviction, they'd have to show that those charged had received it?

      PS Yeh, too lazy to Google it.

        It's something to do with false accounting so I suspect you don't necessarily have to show a benefit from it, just that they were reporting incorrectly? It would seem that the cash in the till didn't match what the system said they had and the PO claimed that the system was correct (even though they knew it wasn't). I'm sure there's technical details somewhere ...

          Took a walk up to the high street to (a) get out and enjoy the sunshine and (b) buy some lunch and nice bread from Ole and Steen.

          It's lovely and warm out and I didn't really need a jacket but I needed the pockets as I have grown weary of handbags this past year.

          Lunch was a truffled cheese and mushroom toastie with a bit of spinach in it for token greenery I suspect.

              Only those who were innocent. The guilty have all been rewarded.

              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Forgot to record that lunch was zingy chicken, tomato and lentil soup with wholemeal bread. Remiss of me as it was very nice

                Been a busy day though

                  If only they could have been rewarded with a term at the scrubs.
                  Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    Struggling to understand how someone can end up in a ditch on the opposite side of a straight road.

                      I ended up working until about 7pm because I'd managed to cock something up summat rotten

                      On the bright side, I now have a better grasp of what this particular somewhat convoluted thing is doing, and will be able to sort everything out in no time; and it's all stuff that needs to be done anyway, but I've now realised that the approach I've taken makes it all a lot easier than it would otherwise have been, so I reckon it's a win in the end

                      And once I was done, it was time for a brisk walk, so the green and red rings have both been closed

                      Very pleasant evening for it; not too warm but mild enough, and there was a bit of haze to the west so the sun was turning everything that nice golden yellow colour even when it was still quite high
