MUST REOPEN PUBS. PUBS MORE IMPORTANT TO PENSIONERS THAN CARE HOMES. How can the MPs work if the subsidised Westminster bars are closed?

Thirteenth Step posted:my horny 16 year old self joined for the porn It's been that long, I can't remember why I first started visiting SA. In other news, I've managed to miss the worst of the heat by spending the afternoon sleeping off my hangover. My other technique for keeping cool in the warm summer days is - living in Scotland. That isn't working very well today though.

Lol Royal Mail is axing 2k jobs due to profit losses We've had Christmas levels of post for 3 months in the post office, I'm calling it an excuse. Also gently caress me I am a disgusting sweaty blob I just want to jump in a lake. gently caress UK heat. It's always too humid and disgusting and we still don't know what air conditioning is.

As I understand it, the money is lost in the business to RM part being privatised out and taking the money for the easy part. Delivery to actual houses is loss making. A pretty standard tale of modern public utilities.

The loss making part of the business is letters - volumes are way down as everything goes electronic, but they are still obligated to deliver to every single property in the UK. They make their money on parcels, which are increasing - but not as much as they need them to, basically.

It'll be the same for a lot of businesses I expect. I am really grateful to have a safe albeit low paid job. Post offices are franchises and my boss can't afford to get rid of me or replace me. Short of our post office closing (which won't happen, we actually run a bunch of vans too for the surrounding area, it would be madness to close us) my job is probably safe for the next couple of years. If only we had loving air conditioning in the building holy poo poo

My client drove me to see the road to Battle and, holy poo poo, that was incredibly beautiful road to drive in the early evening. I'm speechless about how amazing it was. Tomorrow they'll take me for lunch by the seaside so at least that'll be fun. I gotta visit the Hastings Battlefield as well.

I don't know how much is open in Hastings, but the Fishermans' End of the seafront is worth a look, walking from the pier to there will take you past the Old Town as well. It's a shame the pier burned down, the penny and retro-video arcades used to be great, and the fresh doughnuts they made in front of you where amazing as a 9 year old. When you do the battlefield tour, remember that the Saxon army under Harold had just fought off an invading Viking force, and spent the previous three days on a forced march from the North -and they where holding off a larger and better equipped Normal force until the shield wall was broken by part of the line going after some retreating cavalry... My Grandad used to do guided tours round the Old Town, and I spent most of my Christmases in Hastings growing up. Renfield fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Jun 25, 2020 |

Nice little museum down the road from Battle as well, in case you turn up and realise you don't want to take out a loan to visit the main attraction.

I think there is a super sekrit entrance from one of the farm gates and according to local wisdom, if one to wander into the battlefield it's very low chance that anyone will stop them.
