This is by and away the worst time of year for me. The days are still getting shorter and shorter, the weather's getting colder. Spring is 4 months away. I've been out for a walk, but it's not that much fun. I normally cheer up a bit in January as the days lengthen again.
SAD light is on and the heater is on, plus I have the NP to moan to.
and we are meant to be escaping to the sun in a few days.
Except the weather forecast over there is 30C, 80% chance of rain, no sun and high humidity.

I think that the answer is an unequivocal no, as it's dishonest. And if that's not a good enough answer, bear in mind that there's a pretty good chance of being found out.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Thank you very much NDG - Nice People are the best, you ask some random question on a very specific issue and get chapter and verse from a renowned counsel...now if anyone has any specific questions on the home office bureaucracy relating to the criminal justice system or staff rostering at airports, please don't hesitate to ask
In that case, I can deal with physics/maths up to about A level, most things about churches, Oxford colleges, Excel (including coding in VBA for it) and (these last three legal ones from a purely amateur perspective) more than I ever expected to know about divorce, being executor of an insolvent estate, and fatal accident compensation litigation. Oh, and PV panels.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.

Prefer the disruption it gives you Brownie points for the inconvenience and thinking time when you know the style of the interview.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.
