Greenwich council,they have done their best with their proposed parking restrictions to make things very difficult for CAFC,although they backed down.Now the womens team have had some success,they invite them to the town hall,so it looks like they are right behind the club.I would have told them to piss off.0

Currently enjoying a week away in a nice hotel. In addition to the absolute joy of international travel these days the hotel is badly failing to enforce it's own "no sunbed reserving" rule. I watched a woman before breakfast yesterday reserve not only one of those fancy cabana bed things, but the two other beds in front of it.
Bad enough, selfish behaviour, but she then walks around the pool to the other side and reserves another two sunbeds and a brolly facing the opposite direction. So 6 spaces taken up for 2 people. So she and her other half are covered for all eventualites.
My gripe is not necessarily with her, if you're selfish enough to play that game you're probably beyond redemption, but why bother as a hotel stating you have a policy that you'd like guests to respect if you don't challenge guests when they ignore it?
I'd have gone full Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence on them and had them in stocks in full sun for the rest of the day.
...and yes, she was German.4 -

Operation Brock.
With the news that Kent resilience Forum proposes to put Operation Brock in place just before the schools break up in July and keep it there until the end of August, I think the results of the Freedom of Information request I sent to National Highways should be shared with everyone. I asked how long HGVs were stored in Brock with active control and how many incidents occurred in the Brock footprint from M20 J7 to M20 J9, these were the results:
Operation Brock was deployed from 20:00 on 19 May 2026 and was taken off at 20:00 on 26 May 2026. The total costs for this deployment were: circa £469,660
Operation Brock was under active control on the following dates: 22 May 2026: Total: 9 hours 40 minutes 23 May 2026: Total: 12 hours 10 minutes Overall total: 21 hours 50 minutes
During the period requested, the following incidents were recorded within the Brock footprint, defined as M20 junctions 7 to 9: Breakdowns: 61 Road Traffic Collisions: 8 Obstructions / Debris: 16 Cone Strikes: 5 Tacho Breaks: 4 Animals Alive: 1 Total incidents recorded: 95
I think that 95 incidents in 7 days is far too many and that the chaos this causes is unacceptable. Just imagine how many incidents there are likely to be and the chaos this will cause for a period of 6 weeks. Something better MUST be put in place asap to stop this waste of taxpayer money and the chaos it causes to a far wider area of Kent than just the ports.

That a loaf of bread doesn't cost 5p.
This year has consisted of rain, rain, sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, rain. Surely we're having a bumper year for harvests?!0 -
Depends where you are. Theres been a clear North South divide in the weather this spring with the South being particularly dry this year so far. Parts of Southern and Eastern England have recieved just 26% of their exected rainfall so far this year. https://www.bbc.com/weather/articles/c626y8qpwn9o https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/news-and-media/media-centre/weather-and-climate-news/2026/warmest-spring-on-record-for-england-and-wales--third-warmest-for-ukcafcnick1992 said:That a loaf of bread doesn't cost 5p.

Garden forks. Bloody feeble. Doing a rare bit of gardening because the house is on the market and decided to dig out two reedy shrubs that come through from next door. Unattractive things but not deep rooted. So i worked my way round them with a proper garden fork loosening the soil until pushing the handle down lifted each plant. Gave it a bit more oomph and the things came out relatively easily. But the fork prongs now look like Sir Les Patterson's teeth. Hopeless! I'm not even very strong.3

The description of this gardening tool was a clue in a recent crossword we tackled & we couldn't work out the answer.SporadicAddick said:Finding out there is a word for a common or garden object that I have never heard before.
Waited until the solution the following week and found it was something we'd never heard of.

I read that some hotels were just removing towels etc if people weren’t at the sun beds or in the pool for a period of time. Or at certain times.Bournemouth Addick said:Currently enjoying a week away in a nice hotel.
