Just showing some figures from this website - https://www.taxpayersalliance.com/richlist Getting paid more than the PM (basic rate) seems excessive to me, but as you say - pay peanuts etc. So I would ask, are they doing a Good Job? Potholes, empty shops etc.

Council tax is rising by the maximum amount in lots of local authorities, and salaries keep pace with inflation. Sheffield is no exception. Sheffield Kate Josephs Chief executive ............................. £240,846 Sheffield Eugene Walker Executive director -resources ............... 228,212 Sheffield Ajman Ali Executive director - operational services ...183,447 Sheffield Kate Martin Executive director - city futures.............. 182,402 Sheffield Undisclosed Director of public health ............... 149,094 Sheffield Undisclosed Interim strategic director-children’s services.134,100 Sheffield Undisclosed Strategic director-adults care and wellbeing...132,255 Sheffield Undisclosed Director of policy and performance ....... 118,822 Sheffield Undisclosed Undisclosed ...............................112,500 Sheffield Undisclosed Undisclosed ...............................112,500 The Top 4 maybe 5 earn more than the PM. I'm also wondering, that since several of these positions are "Undisclosed" as to Who runs them, Is it Possible for one or two of the Named Councillors to be wearing TWO HATS?

Another thought has just come to mind about these stamps, how do we know that the "Post Office" didn't have these printed themselves? I mean, if they used the same computers to send the draft copy to the printers, that they used in the "Post Office" scandal, anything could have happened, and I'm afraid denying it wouldn't hold much water. I believe they're going to need a few extra million soon, so an extra fiver here and there will help.

I thought this was one of the reasons that stamps were issued in the first place (1840), missives were folded then closed with a wax seal and the receiver paid the postage, leading to astute writers to use a code on the outside of the letter in the manner of "LOL" today, the receiver would look at the letter, read the code and then refuse to accept the post, saving the cost of postage. Rather than charge £5.00 for a fake stamp, I would suggest they beef up security on the stamps they issue. Love the way poor old China did it. This is such a simple world, if it wasn't the Russians, it was the Chinese.

I Don't know, I'll tell you when I find it.

I used to have a "Rotti" a lovely dog and very intelligent, though I never tested her I'm pretty sure it couldn't read.

It's not the "Proving", it's the doing, getting you used to jumping through hoops as and when they say, without question. On another matter, You do know that the UK has more CCTV cameras per person than any other country in the world, including China, North Korea and Russia.

It really does seem insignificant, that's what the powers that be, want you to think, but add them all together, and before you know it you have no freedom at all. Death by a thousand cuts, or should I say " enslavement by a thousand pieces of legislation".

I had the same sort of problem, only rather being susceptible to" White Coat "syndrome it was just my blood pressure is all over the place, we have spent months and months trying to get it sorted, but it's still the same now, anyway I bought the same type of monitor that they use in the surgery " Omron " is the make, and they come at all prices. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=omron+blood+pressure+monitor&crid=18MRV8PEZ5EJR&sprefix=omron+%2Caps%2C70&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_6 If you do decide to buy your own, you really want one that remembers the readings.

The guillotine remained France’s state method of capital punishment well into the late 20th century. Convicted murderer Hamida Djandoubi became the last person to meet his end by the “National Razor” after he was executed by the guillotine in 1977. Still, the machine’s 189-year reign only officially came to an end in September 1981, when France abolished capital punishment for good.

I was wondering how " Dignitas " does it,? it can't be that easy, look at the Yanks, they find it so hard to kill prisoners, they change the method regularly, and quite often mess it up.

Producing a form of ID is not a problem for me either, It's the Principe of having to prove who you are, that I'm against, besides, voting for someone implies that you have respect, and confidence in that person or party, I'm afraid I have very little respect for most of the politicians vying for election today. I have in the past always voted, subscribing to the view that it was our duty, it's only been since the introduction of this ID farce that I have stopped.

If I need ID to vote, then I will not vote, simples. Voter ID was brought in to counteract a problem we didn't have, in order to increase control over the masses and to get us use to showing ID wherever we go?
