STOP NOTICING

A woman was raped by a 'group of men' in Epsom last Saturday, the police have refused to provide any description of them (which tells you exactly what we all know) on the grounds of not having "sufficient information" 🤔

Now they have sent in the riot squad against a protest in the town about that refusal 😡

Asking people not to speculate about the identity of the suspects, saying: "This may lead to additional tensions within our local communities."

My car had an OTA software update (thanks, non-optional data connection) and now my fuel gauge is more 'accurate' but with the side-effect that it's top segment goes off sooner than it used to (after about 100 miles before, now after about 50 miles). Fair enough as I typically get about 420 miles from a 40-litre tank

Just what I need, the impression my car is using fuel faster just as the price of petrol goes through the roof 🙄

_________________________

England and Wales have legally protected Rights Of Way that are paths and routes across the countryside, usually based on historic access rights. The landowners have to allow access and can be prosecuted if they attempt to block. They are also required to maintain them to a certain standard although the local councils are responsible for placing and maintaining bridges, gates and stiles

Yes could be a pain for landowners but most people behave themselves
