    I was going to ask how she didn't notice in the evening when she took them off.  I realised the answer - teenager!

    Just drifting off to sleep last night when some idiot decided to start letting off fireworks. My thoughts were murderous, but luckily l fell asleep in the end. Grr.

    My other pet hate, are what purport to be factual programmes on  commercial TV. They go like this.  In part 1 we will tell you  a,b,c, later we talk about g,h& I. You get a tiny bit of programme, then on to  a commercial break.  Next : we told you about ABC, now we are doing def, later we will get into ghi.
    I think you will get the idea, 1 hour programme,  with all of 20 minutes of content,  the rest is padding.  What's worse is, I still fall for them in the  vain hope that there will be something interesting .  Even recording them and fast forwarding through the  drivel only helps a bit.

    I record everything I watch and fast forward through the adverts, waffle and filler. (I don't watch the news, radio 4 tells me all I need to know). Saves a lot of time and quite often I start watching something and either find that it's boring, unintelligible or a repeat so can be deleted without further ado.

    I think it's better to get your news from more than one source.

    Offer the health workers a ridiculously low pay rise and then give in and double it to a still ridiculously low pay rise.  The press will laud it as a victory for the heroes and everyone will be happy. Particularly the weasel. I thought he'd resigned or been sacked or something but apparently he was still deserving of a pay rise which might well be 1%. Who knows? It all depends on what you get 1% of.

    It does seem to be a crass move and an obvious source of incredulity and criticism.   Major PR faux pas.

    When faux pas become de rigueur what is major?

    When so many have lost their jobs and no other public workers will get any increase, I think it is reasonable. Starter nurses did get 12% over 3 or 4 years quite recently.
    How can you lie there and think of England
