@Shrinking Violet it must be catching. The same thing happened to my former neighbours in Belgium this weekend. They have a riding school with the only shop left in the area selling saddlery, riding clothes and kit for caring for horses. broken into, goods and money stolen, including 2 charity boxes, and a mess made of what they didn't take. Horrid

I know Steve, I was there. Thing is, the people have had the equivalent of three referendums over this lot over the past 4 years, was it the game of ‘best of three’ because they’ve won each one. No good of any of us moaning.

@Shrinking Violet, now that does make me fume. Even if they catch the wastes of space responsible, it's a fairly safe bet that all they will get is a slap on the wrist.
Having been at the wrong end of many Pharmacies being burgled, believe me, the amount they get is about 1 hundredth of the damage caused. Woodhall Spa (we never have anything like this in Woodhall Spa, was repeated over and over) had no glass in the entire shop front, the floorboards in the flat above were lifted, carpet lifted, door broken open, ceiling damaged, Police car and police man smashed up, and they legged it with a sum total of sod all. One of the culprits left a bag with a bail notice from Penzance magistrates court, with his address on, and they still never caught them. Last time, Mansfield, they broke in through the roof, bought down a false ceiling and all the attached lights, got away with nothing, although the safe had the paint chipped. SOCO wouldn't even enter the premises until an electrician had been and agreed it was safe to do so. How I longed for the days when they just rammed the back door off its hinges and took the diazepam and dihydrocodeine. A shop in Sheffield had the glass taken out in a drive by shooting, we had to scrap most of the stock due to glass splinters everywhere. Even that pales in comparison to the Pharmacy in Halifax that was recently fire bombed. I am so glad to be retired .

I'm not moaning about the result of the referendum at all Lyn - I thought the Liberal (and other) idea of re-running the referendum was a complete nonsense. Same as I totally agree Trump is actually president - he won the election - but I don't have to agree with what he then says. Do you see the difference?
AND I really want/need Brexit to be a success - as my pension pot will suffer if it isn't (and my projected pension is miniscule as it is!) - but I won't just 'accept' nonsense that people like Gove continue to spout without questioning what is being said.

Can’t stand the man, but his recipes are reliable.
