This is a constant theme on here, and a constant theme of mine is that people need to report every single item which they don't receive, so that Royal Mail can identify any patterns and nail the thief (if there is one). There is a compensation process, but it only applies to specific delivery methods. However if things go missing, Complaints can be sent to Royal Mail HERE

Maybe you could produce a Crapping Fox calendar. Only another eleven pictures to go :))

Spiral Staircase Ralph McTell album (and song) from zillions of years ago. I've actually got it somewhere :-$

If anyone is in Oxford there's a good Graham Sutherland exhibition on at the moment. Somewhat different landscapes to David Hockney's :) ETA: And entrance was by donation, not bloody ?15 :))

Eh? I've bought some great books and other stuff from the Trinity Hospice shop :)

I theoretically have blocked calls like these, but I still occasionally get them. I just put the phone down.

Well spotted Fuchsia!

"Katie numbers" caused me irrational joy when I read it :)

This is a very well known scam. Why would somebody you have had no recent contact with ask you out of the blue to send them money?

Unless your hobbies and interests are directly relevant to the post you're applying for, you shouldn't include them (and whoever is sifting the CVs shouldn't be taking them into account either - they should be looking for information directly relevant to the requirements of the person spec).

Succinct but covering everything in the job description and (especially) person spec for the particular job, I should say. If it's not in the CV it should deffo be in the covering letter. What you've personally done, not what your team did or what you helped with. And anything irrelevant omitted. Deffo no photo. And get someone else to read it over before you send it off - it's very easy not to see a typo when you've spent ages staring at something.

Not another one .....

Can't believe Manna in Primrose Hill is still going, I'm sure I used to go there in the eighties :-$

Hopefully they won't have pizzas at all, as the Actress already has a large pizza menu and is only a short walk away from the CPT .....
