There was a queue out the door with about 10 people in it and three tables outside were in use at 10.05am. It was still busy at 11.15.

OK, good suggestion and it appears that the after-market price is about £260. But if that that was fitted ex-factory then the cost would be substantially less and certainly a small fraction of the price of a high-end car.

With all these high-end car thefts, surely there's a case to be made for all new cars to be supplied with a Crook Lock type device and having insurance invalidated if the owner does not have it in place when it is parked.

I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.

Do you want your oak leaves raked up and taken away? It's just that I am looking for a supply of oak leaves which I use to make compost with a low ph factor.

Courts are in session from 10am to mid-day then 2pm to 4pm. Four hours a day with a two hour lunch is probably the cause.

If Lammy had a jury trial for incompetence he would be convicted beyond any reasonable doubt.

Looks like Rachael is getting close to the toaster again! The media is out to get her after they got duped.

And when that couple in their late 70's and 50's and 80's pop their clogs, the government will be back for an IHT tax grab at 40% of the value. For anyone in their 30's and 40's I would seriously suggest emigrating to Australia or Canada where there's on IHT

One month on and Never-Here-Keir is getting ever closer to the toaster. It seems that he goes AWOL at every opportunity. He's done 34 foreign trips to 26 countries since becoming PM. Surely, with all the in-fighting going on at #10 and with some MPs and one Labour mayor on manoeuvres, should he not be staying at home and fighting for his premiership and the interests of the Labour party? or does he reckon he is already doomed and feels better away from it all?

What s the root problem you refer to?

The key aim of this and future budget will be cuts to government spending.- not more taxation. The chancellor could start with drastically reducing the cost of the ever expanding Motability scheme. Motability has grown as use of the scheme has exploded by a third since 2017, with people qualifying for new cars for conditions including tennis elbow, ADHD and anxiety. (Probably some one with ADHD should not be driving a car!) Motability's has 860,000 users!!. They are also exempt from paying VAT or insurance premium tax on their leased vehicles. The cost to the tax payer is £3.1 Billion. Some Motability users get their cars totally free and the balance are subsidised. For a little extra, a user can opt for a BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar or anything else they fancy. Time to reign it in.

Both Labour and Conservatives can remove the threat of a Reform government by making making two major policy promises. And these are .......... (1) categorically state that they will take Britain out of the ECHR and (2) Undertake to remove any new small boat arrivals to Rwanda or wherever else. Reform is basically a single issue party and adopting (1) & (2) would send Reform into obscurity. The country has had enough of our judiciary making a gold-plated interpretation of the ECHR statutes.

Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.

It sounds like a horrendous situation and I truly sympathise. And to make it worse, he is probably handling other deceased estates in a similar manner. Given that (1) the main beneficiary is "the typical 'friend'" and (2) the main asset has diminished in value and continues to do so (3) he will be deducting fees then there may be be nor very much left at the end of it. That being the case, I would press the case against him through the Probate Registry. to have him passed over using a citation process.
