They've managed to get the shop regulations out in time: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/791/contents/made.

When I went to Whittens last summer they were running down then and iirc said they'd be closing down in December. The website https://www.whittentimber.co.uk/ now says: Whitten Timber Ltd has ceased trading as of 23rd March 2020. The Whitten Family would like to thank all our customers for their loyalty and custom over the last 101 years. The cutting and machining services may move to another site in the near future, see website for any updates. LATEST: Cutting and Machining now available through A-Klass Carpentry and Joinery https://www.a-klasscarpentryandjoinery.co.uk/

Are you saying that the only evidence you have is a friend or friends' report(s) that an email appearing to have come from you has, according to BT, an attached virus? If that's the case it's imo virtually no evidence at all of any problem with your own phone. Spoofing of email "From" addresses is trivially easy, and a method of choice for those wanting to transmit any kind of malware. Viewing all the headers of the email(s) concerned should be able to reveal whether that was the case.

This is another forum spammer. I reported an identical post, from the same username in the same position in the same thread, yesterday at 2pm, when its id was was 2129975, and it was deleted a few hours later.

I've pointed him out and reported him here before, along with an alter ego Abordage that's used sometimes in a double act: /forum/read.php?30,1629924,2129732#msg-2129732. There are also many reports of the username at https://www.stopforumspam.co.uk. His post on the coueswhitetail.com forum (deerhunting) that I pointed there to seems to have been deleted now, but here's another typical example, https://www.backyardchickens.com/search/1576528/, which he's joined just to post the review website link in the hydrangea thread after first posting a few 'innocent' posts. It's sad to see all the welcome posts he gets from the trusting folk there, though I have seen worse. The claire65 account, for example, used here to surreptitiously publish a foot fungus product website address, can also be found using cancer and diabetes sufferer websites to do the same.

MrBrown007 is a forum spammer account. Of the forums joined in the last three months those that I've seen have deleted the posts. eg https://linustechtips.com/main/profile/712980-mrbrown007/content/.

Duly authorised TfL employees and any police officer, even a PCSO, are among those with some enforcement powers. But the powers exist only in respect of those who are do not have a reasonable excuse for not wearing a mask. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/592/made. I suspect it's open to both TfL and BTP to enquire of any passenger why they're not personally wearing one. But I doubt that either body will consider it useful, politic or justified to exercise that discretion universally. There's no regulation saying you must declare your excuse every time you travel.

> unless you want to plan weeks in > advance as people are just booking > up every slot possible for weeks. According to https://clubspark.lta.org.uk/TennisInSouthwark/bookinginfo ? Bookings can be made 7 days in advance. ? Individuals can book courts for a maximum of 1 hour each day (which can be two 30 minute bookings). If you plan to play a game for longer than an hour then a playing partner will need to make an adjoining booking. Any play/games with the same people must be limited to 2 hours to give fair access to the courts. ? Cancellations: You can cancel via your ClubSpark account up to 24 hours before the booking date. (Not cancelling bookings could stop people playing) Is that not so in practice? If there's such pressure for slots, the 24 hour limit for cancellation seems less helpful than it could be. Is there no vetting or control of number of bookings per week? If the result is some people being effectively locked out, as they presumably could be by a relatively small number of every-day players, that seems to me an argument for increased rationing. Do the administrators have any idea of the numbers of people failing to find slots?

Are books not capable of carrying infection, even for a limited time? I remember when public library books carried a label requiring notification if the book had come into contact with anyone with a notifiable disease; and the legal requirement on the borrower to, in effect, put the book into isolation, still remains: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/22/section/25/enacted. It's been questioned, but still retained. https://blogs.loc.gov/law/2013/08/odd-laws-of-the-united-kingdom/. And Covid-19 has itself been added to the list of notifiable diseases. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/coronavirus-covid-19-listed-as-a-notifiable-disease

You're replying to a three year old post btw. More old threads are getting revived now. It's one of the tactics used by forum spammers who are paid to get links to other commercial websites inserted into apparently reputable and credible locations. They may well start with sn innocuous post, and seek to introduce the link(s) later, either by editing or by introducing a subsequent apparently related post under another username. See, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_spam; though I'm not inclined to attribute the instances here to bot software, even if some might be used to automate some of the process.

I saw yesterday that the hedge had been drastically cut, with offcuts apparently all heaped in the garden. Does anyone know if it was the council or the owner who did the work?

> Seems to of gone very quiet > on the subject of a Vaccine.. ?? > Wonder why that is ? No mystery. It of gone very Quiet because there is nothing notably new for the media to Trumpet. Researching and developing and testing vaccines tends to be a long and Tedious process. If I were inclined to betting on the development that occasions the next media Flare-up, I think I'd go for an AV drug, or one of the other types of antibody treatment.

Pugwash, thanks for reposting that. It's very helpful. I'd given up looking at the mish mash in the councillors' thread some time ago. The title and contents have some ED specificity, so I hope that stops this thread from being relegated to the 'Lounge'.

Thanks. I don't know the things, so still don't understand how much she took, or how many items she had to scan, but it sounds as if asking her if she could let you have just one item would by then have been impracticable. You could ask Sainsburys about imposing a limit. I don't go there often, but one of my staples is their 300g dried skimmed milk packets, and their system still only allows me to check out three. Probably like you, I wouldn't take all of the last three anyway.

You can say what you like here, but you gave up any chance of seeing whether you could influence her behaviour then several hours ago. By boxes, do you mean cardboard cartons, each containing a number of individual boxes of wipes?
