That's probably priviliged information

Must be in the public interest to know what other royals either knew about it or were hanging around with Epstein

Frank Marino is back! Back on stage in Canada to commemorate Live Aid 40. AFAIK he hasn't played on stage for 10 years after suffering a long illness.

It has to be earned, something about transferring peak use to off peak (though it all seems a bit vague without much detail as what this actually means). How much you transfer is how much free you get on a Sunday. Anyone can do it, but it's not well advertised, but it has to be activated monthly. So far I've had a 12hr and 3x4hr free Sundays. Worth a look if you are on EDF - I'm sure others do it too - Angela Rippon told me lol

Even without an EV it's worth signing up for an EDF EV package as the rates from 0000-0500 are a quarter of the standard rate, so setting delayed timers on washing machines/dishwashers is certainly worth while.

I assume it requires a smart meter (?). I'm a refusenik on that score (foiler).

^ It does require a smart meter. I resisted getting one for a long, long time but I'm glad I have one now.

We were going to go for a ride today due to a fairly benign weather report. However, we instead opted to walk to one of our favourite pubs, the Rose & Crown in Charlbury. We packed a lunch, settled on a route and set off around 11:15am.
We walked along the A4095 to North Leigh and on to East End. At East End we took the track northwards past the Roman villa, over the River Evenlode, through the woods to Stonesfield and along the bridleway (Stonesfield Lane) to Charlbury. On Stonesfield Lane we paused to sit on a fallen tree trunk to enjoy our lunch.
By the time we arrived at the pub, we'd clocked up just under 20k steps or the best part of 10 miles in around 3 hours.
Unfortunately, we only had time for two pints before we had to catch the X9 bus back to Witney but it had been a wonderful walk in good conditions, warm enough for shorts. We had a few spots of rain but, thankfully, didn't last.

Watching Traffic Cops last night and they did one of the young scumbags who go and race round Tesco carpark. Third time he'd been caught so his car was seized. :)

His dad then came to pick him up and he turned up driving like a Twunt, hope he got a good talking to.

I suspect not many of the Tesco carpark boy racers get done. Not enough Traffic Cops for that.
