So exactly what is this ‘elf and safety’ lark which seems to be so dominating society these days, invading almost every facet of normal everyday life?
But is it cricket?…
We are all used to seeing things going up in price, it’s an all too familiar, almost daily, occurrence. Fuel costs, transport costs, increased wage bill, the price of coffee bean futures on Tuvalu, the reasons are endless. It’s part of everday life, we accept it. We don’t like it, but we have to accept it.
At least you can have a game of cards…
Well, at least you would have thought so.
An expensive misadventure
A Spanish couple, on a tour of Norway’s fjords, were forced to break their journey in Stavanger for medical reasons. Once resolved, the couple, in their fifties, decided to rejoin their boat in Olden. Hailing a taxi, the couple headed off. The 560 kilometre journey cost them €1,875, and they even gave the taxi driver a generous tip.
People power
The residents of Birks Road, a quiet Huddersfield cul-de-sac, were delighted when striking binmen went back to work as it had been one month since their rubbish had been collected and it was beginning to pile up.
Arise ‘Sir Nils’
Nils Olav, Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian army, has been knighted at a ceremony held in Edinburgh. Quite an honour…..for a penguin!!
Binmen on holiday
At least with their lack of endurance training it’s easy to spot a binman on holiday!
A bin too far…
You just can’t get away from rubbish making the news in the asylum at the moment as jobsworths try and upset every section of the community. It won’t be long before you need a measuring stick, weighing scales, calendar, colour-code chart and chronometer just to put your bin out!
Mr Jobsworth strikes again…
A Polish restaurant, selling Polish beer in Polish glasses, in Doncaster, what could possibly be wrong with that?
They’ve been at it again…
The Church of All Saints in the Wyke Regis area of Weymouth, Dorset, dates from 1172 and has an ornate stone pulpit added in the 16th Century. Services have been held throughout the centuries and there is no record of any clergyman ever being injured as he mounted the pulpit to give his sermon.
