I don't see why the British should have to change their laws because certain groups of immigrants chose to take advantage of them?

Remember seeing the 1970 World Cup Edition Subbuteo in the window of that sports/model shop in the Precinct with all 16 national team colours. I think when I got mine a few years earlier the choice was limited to red and blue? At least they were solid figures, the original version featured...

Minster Road circa 1984: The chip shop was the tiny shed far left, the tall building behind it is part of the Godiva Hotel on the far side of Holyhead Road. I don't remember any of the buidlings in the foreground, they must have been demolished before I started using the chip shop leaving...

I don't have a Linked-in account and still get emails from them. When I asked them to stop sending me emails they told me I need to enter my Linked-in password. How can I can I enter a password for an account I don't have?

Debt-collectors again. How is it my job to prove somebody I've never heard of doesn't live at this address?

I'm old enough to remember when sickness benefit was paid at the exact same rate as unemployment benefit and there were very few claims for sickness benefit back then. It was also a lot easier to claim unemployment benefit than sickness benefit. It was only after the Thatcher administration...

Do we really need more than one Lucy Letby thread?
