Worrying the old bill found a #knife on folk they nicked at an unlicensed #rave in SW #England - they were taboo in the old days (unless used for something like cutting a rope to be used to secure something or stripping cables for emergency equipment repairs which only requires a knife that would be legal to carry). Also did the folk who left their cars behind and collected them later (due to not being sober) end up with details put on #ANPR for later targeting?

A #chippy in Northern #England sold #FishAndChips at 45p to celebrate the anniversary of their opening in 1972 (the year of my birth) - a large multicultural crowd filled the whole street to take advantage of this offer (fish and chips can be as much as £10-£18 these days) #food #Britain

(45p in 1972 would be worth about £5.25 in 2025)

Good morning.

Regular listeners will remember that there’s someone who decorates the postboxes in our village regularly with seasonal #knitting and #crochet #art.

Well today I found out that it’s a woman!

I can’t pretend not to be slightly disappointed that it isn’t a man 😅

Maybe I should start making rival toppers and start a turf war?
