This is just spam, unless the HM Courts are now operating from a favela in Brazil, which is mostly evident by it’s unlikely I’d get a penalty charge in the absence of owning a car….. Quite believeable though in some ways, although I’m amused by the fact there’s only one contact centre option and that’s currently unavailable. Hopefully no-one will get scammed by it.
This is perhaps one of the most uplifting and positive magazine covers that I’ve seen. Drawn by Charlie Mackesy, it’s rather impressive from the Big Issue.
This is another one of my random posts, but it never occurred to me that tours of the Belgian battlefields were being operated just a few months after the end of the First World War. I assume that relatives would want to go and see where their family had fought, and perhaps died, but it must have still been very much a scarred landscape.
Putting to one side the situation about Google knowing far too much about me, I like this new feature on Google Photos showing where I’ve taken photos over the last few years. It’s not entirely accurate (and for reasons I’m unsure it has entirely taken out my visits to Russia) as I used a camera rather than my phone for many photos, but it’s a good indication……
Anyway, I digress.
I’ll have to file this in my ever increasing heap of irrelevant and random posts. But, I liked the idea that Barclays have had here of entertaining customers whilst they wait in their socially distanced queue. I’m sure lots of places are doing something similar, but it’s the first time that I’ve seen it.
More positive news for walkers, the first blackberries are now out. How lovely.
I don’t watch much television, as I’m normally stuck walking in some field or have accidentally diverted to some pub, but I remain surprised why some couples go on programmes as Four in a Bed with such a hugely risky strategy of marking everyone else down. This week’s debacle involved the owners of Tigh na Leigh managing to savagely underpay their rivals and led to everyone else storming out. It makes for good television, and I like a drama, but it can’t be pleasant to now have to live through that for years.
An otherwise seemingly perfectly run B&B with excellent reviews, an impeccable web-site and no now social media as they’ve had to delete it given the debacle. And although TripAdvisor and the like have removed the hotel’s fake negative reviews, the programme will be broadcast again in the future, and it’ll all happen again. I don’t envy the owners…
In my latest irrelevant post of the week, I like how Google Maps have changed their usual icon of the Google Maps Man (or woman, although I think it looks slightly more male in appearance) and replaced it with Nessie when anyone searches in the Loch Ness area.
I like this road sign, it reminds me of what some politicians might soon need to be aware of…..
