Looks Like the banks holiday if off!

Britain braced for a bank holiday washout with more rain on its way... but there's still a glimmer of hope for a brief bit of sunshine
Rain moving in from the west will hit the north over the rest of this week
Weather to get increasingly unsettled across the UK as temperatures cool

Tesco and Asda branded 'immoral' for selling bottled tap water without declaring its origins

upermarkets have been condemned as ‘immoral’ for selling bottled tap water to millions of unsuspecting customers without declaring the origins on the label.
Tesco and Asda are selling filtered mains water at 17p for two litres – a mark-up of 2,500 per cent on the price paid by homeowners for their mains water.
Both products appear alongside big-brand natural mineral and spring waters, yet there is nothing to identify them as merely filtered tap water. Now experts are calling for a change in the law to require the stores to provide honest labels.

System

Good afternoon Hilstep and all,

Moorhen i assumed your daughter had her phone stolen under the cover of darkness. How they had to nerve to accost your daughter in broad daylight and in the middle of a park full of people is just beyond belief. Your poor daughter! It just shows, your not safe during the day as well as at night. It really shouldnt be this way.

My weekend was productive. All that needed to be done was done.

Started taking my BP today as ive been on this new tablet a couple of weeks and i'm pleased to say that if the rest of my readings are as low as the first one i took this morning, my GP will be well pleased.

Thinking of all you Mums who have recently got your children back to school and those who's children will be going back in a day or two. This is the first year i havent had to buy uniform for about 25 years. I have to say i dont miss the expense.

Talking about expense, i was trying to work out what money i will need for Christmas. If i dont spend a penny now, i might just manage it.:o

Hugs to all, whether needed now or later.

Evening all

I've had a lovely day. I went out for a jog/walk in the rain this morning, then went to visit my family. Called in to see my nan and had a cuppa there, then onto my parents. By then the sun was shining so we had lunch in the garden (big salad). I took my parents some of the 5kgs of onions I bought yday, and returned with a pack of lentils and a portion of HM curry and rice :rotfl:. Then I went to the seaside village for a wander round the shops and then sat by the sea in the sun eating an ice cream . Then called in to my other nan and had another cuppa! Phew.

Home now but off out again in a bit to meet a friend for coffee. She was my student social worker last year and we have stayed in touch, she wants a reference for a job so is bribing me with a coffee :rotfl:.

It's been glorious for most of the day, since about 11am, but the rain has started again now.

Have a good night all

Halibut - that's very near me. Unfortunately the stretch of coast there is notorious. From what I understand we are in spring tides at the moment and we have something like a 14m difference between high and low tide (i was reading about the possibility of a barrage the other day).
