Beautiful Remembrance Sunday service. Faure, Elgar. This morning I dressed well, wore a hat, my poppy, my RAF sweetheart brooch (for my father). On my way to church, at the traffic lights waiting to cross on foot an immigrant on a bike rode into me on the pavement...

Spare a thought for the generation of women whose lives were upended. Widowed, lost their intended, never married etc as there were "no men". When I was a kid elderly spinster ladies were very common. Granma was the only one of 5 sisters to marry. That was the reality. 🧵
This is the memorial to the 151 Hawker Typhoon pilots killed in Normandy in the summer of 1944.
Most of them were young/single.
My father Jack Collins is remembered there and I am wondering how many other children of those pilots there are other than myself. Please let me know.

Many hospitals now say 'use the park and ride' To get to appointments.
I'm sorry but if you are elderly, sick or disabled the last thing you are able to do is hop on a bus.
Why don't hospitals plan for sufficient parking for patients.
Yes visitors can use a bus, patients can't.
Supermarkets in Europe have been badly affected by a cyber attack.
Recently some UK banks have been offline with the same.
UK airports have been shutdown too.
Just imagine if they all happened at the same time!
No need for bombs or missiles!

I only work 6 days a week, employ 38 people across two businesses and I’m not a worker according to Labour! I cover sickness holiday school appointments and do whatever I can to help my staff to be insulted by this government

Labour’s Emma Reynolds says “Employers are not working people”.
This government is full of ignorant cretins who have no idea about business because they’ve only ever sat on their fat ar*es dreaming up ways to screw business with any form of tax.
Hateful & despicable.

Buttock-clenching scenes as Treasury Minister Emma Reynolds gets the fake smile wiped off her smug face by Camilla Tominey on GB News
The dizzy cow says Employers are NOT working people, as the car crash gets worse, she says she has a cleaner. She needs sectioning.

Heads up people ‼️‼️‼️⚠️
WARNING FROM POLICE
This is the new thing these days with people out of work and needing cash. Beware, it's headed our way.
Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!!
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car.. Then we received this email yesterday:
WARNING FROM POLICE
THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN
BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)
Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating.. You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into reverse.
When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.
So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!
BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want it to fall into the wrong hands.
