    Oh... I'm so innocent, law-abiding and naive, I didn't know they were different :)

    I just know I stood the same place he stood, on a podium thing. Luton Crown Court ... circa 1983.

    The dock is where the defendant is (listening but not doing anything) when other people are giving evidence etc. Witnesses go in the witness box, and the defendant goes in the witness box when it's his/her turn to be questioned, and then goes back to the dock again afterwards.

    We were told why.
    I know - last time I was at my parents' Carry on Cleo was on the telly (-:

    Talking of Cleopatra, my daughter has been watching this lots of times and will probably know all the words soon. I think the words are very clever.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    For tea I had: two small jacket spuds, grated mature cheddar, baked beans. Total cost 30p.

    Eaten from a big bowl, with a spoon.

    I'm completely full now!

    The same way you'd eat ice cream with a spoon, but a spud skin's a bit harder... so at the edge I put the edge of the spoon down to the skin and then make a "cutting" action with the edge of the spoon.

    been stripped back even more basic: crisps and houmous (DH) pinapple juice with rum (both of us).

    About as slovenly as a meal can get:opening crisps. (I did at least make the houmous.)
