The only fuel which seems to be in shortish supply round here is the old E5.
On another subject altogether, I was on a consumer rights site earlier and somebody was complaining that the item they ordered was damaged but the company has agreed to send a replacement. They are asking if they should sue the company because of the inconvenience caused. I thought it was only in America that they sued at every opportunity - it is clearly heading our way!
Guess it depends on what they had ordered. A heart replacement ? They might have a point in that case. Otherwise, hopefully they were told by the site to accept the replacement with good grace.
Sun was shining, I put the washing out, walked back indoors, 5 mins later it rained.
Got my bike out to ride to the station and it started raining. Dipped inside to put waterproof trousers on and the light rain shower was a absolute torrent! Very short ride to the station and I looked like a drowned rat!
Took everything off on the train then just before getting off I kitted up for the rain only to find out 20 minutes down the line it was blue skies everywhere and no sign of rain! So I had to ride in full waterproofs when I didn't need to. Wet through waterproofs at that!
It's been horrendous today. So heavy rain, the factory flooded!!
I got the washing dry outside yesterday … I think we’ll be getting the torrential rain today… in fact it’s already started … OH will be cycling to work in his yellow waterproofs … my son will be at his new job in a carpark in the rain somewhere in the East of England, setting up and managing one of the new temporary Covid testing centres that spring up where there’s an outbreak … goodness knows what WonkyWomble will be doing … hope she’s got some inside work today 😲

Feels high time for a curmudge (that should be a word) about the Zuckerberg empire. It was a pain having WhatsApp down last night but at least I don't use the others much. It just seems bonkers that such a huge monopoly on communications is allowed to go on.

Mmm. Although there are quite a few people who won't even have noticed. Me included. It is a massive company, for sure, and I'm no fan. But that's the point. I don't like their business practices so I only use their platforms when other people insist on it.

Yes many won't have, here at least given the timing. A lot of small business owners don't have much choice but to have some kind of presence and for many it's a free alternative to a website. Not that it being separated from WhatsApp and insta would have made a difference to folk like that relying on it.
