I’m at haven. You get a little bit of free wifi in the caravans. Then you have to pay. It’s new here so they haven’t realised you just have to keep setting up new accounts using yopmail. No need to go to email though. And just make up a Mobil number.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: well done :T:T:T

Thank to the lovely poster who mentioned half price sweets in Wilco's pick and mix:T
I got a medium cup for £1.50. I had to keep shaking I down to get the lid on. Perfect for my Easter cakes and taste fine to me. Elaine might think differently...I know she's good at stuff like that;)

Because it's a matter of opinion and the BBC journalist that wrote it like that wanted to be impartial? Arguably inappropriately so, as there is no need to be impartial over a matter such as terrorism - indeed the right duty is to condemn it. As regards whether or not he was a hero, we sit on our objective fence and have no opinion one way or the other on the matter.

Perhaps the journalist is quoting someone else, or reporting or 'telling the story' - they aren't inputting their own views into it but are reporting what people have, rightly, called the officer or perhaps the journalist didn't even think about being impartial or not - which they are not required to be here and it isn't a requirement over terrorism - but is simply in the habit of putting other people's words in quotes and has lost touch with reality by having it constantly drummed into them that they are never to take anyone's opinion.

I suppose they deal in facts. He is, factually, French - that matter can be established objectively either by his nationality or the fact he was working in France (depends in what sense the journalist meant the word "French" as it is ambiguous). He is factually from the police, so the description "police" is correct. And factually he did from wounds. However, whether he is or is not a hero is not something that can be determined as a fact. It's what probably the vast majority of people, and almost certainly all 'right-thinking' people (now I've gone into my own habit of quotes, not necessarily accepting other people's descriptions of anyone as right-thinking), would call him.

Normally, when someone dies in the news, they were old or it is something that is expected as part of a tragic event or reprehensible action of someone else - however, when I heard the news this morning, that he had died, it did cause me to react, albeit in my usual underwhelmed way of "Oh, dear".

I can see what you mean about misuse - it's like the words "terrible" and "hate" have been diluted, the first by describing minor everyday things as "terrible" and not reserving it to the truly appalling things and the second by often applying it when you (the global 'you') merely dislike something, even if quite intensely, rather than leaving it to things that are really there to be hated, such as when other people take others' lives.

This has caused me to think though - about whether the police officer is (or sadly was) a hero - is someone that puts themselves into a dangerous situation and dies a "hero"? Does someone have to die to be considered a hero and are there not good people alive such as NHS workers, or the workers of any other health service since I have an international audience, who put all their commitment into their jobs? Or maybe they are merely "good" people and not "heroes"?:think:

Very valid and in depth insights. I myself, think that journalists have overused so many words for sensationalism and headline grabbers. In fact when they state someone was killed in a terrorist attacks, they don't use the proper word "MURDERED".
Anyhoots we could go on for a long time about this, to sunny a day to be in, so going out again.

Very well done!! Haven are one of the companies that have a "cheap" product, but have many and varied add ons that cost those who cannot afford it to spend money on, or those not able to think their way round it, like you have. Have a nice break, and I am sure you will be ELITE durting your stay :T

Pick "n" Mix and salad bars make me cringe a bit, my own hygiene issues. Both items are far too low for me, little snotty hands etc. And people who sneeze/cough near them without hankies, or speak with spittle fying everywhere.
I tend to ge for a meal where there are salad bars first thing, before others have time to make me shudder.

(green face emoji)

Fresh air calling me.

Remember quilted cushdie comparison ends 26th and I think fishies still available to print off.

Forgetting to mention that the wine 342 is down to one aisle end instead of the two it had been previously. I found the Brancott on the shelves unmarked as 342.
