I'm surprised the Scots didn't drop dead from shock. Either that or choked on the dust when they had to open their wallet.
It's SO obviously wrong that I'd have got out of the Cab first saying that I needed to get my Purse out of one of my Bags, then made a mental note of their Registration Number before refusing to pay. And if they called the Police on me, before I called the Police on them, then so be it - because the Police would certainly have been very interested indeed in all this!
BBC Weather’s Simon King was talking to viewers about the UK’s frosty forecast on Tuesday in front of a background which showed a road blanketed in snow in Strathaven. However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed the picture was sent in by a prankster called ...
“I C Rhodes”
The windup was branded “genius” by some on Social Media as someone posted on Twitter: “A photo of a snowy road has been sent in by ‘I C Rhodes’. I think the BBC have been had here 😂" ...

Maybe the cabbie was planning to send the money to the NZ Government to cover the costs caused by this crowd:

WoW?!! ... is there not a remote Island over there that we can put them on and leave them? - only I'm not sure that the UK will want them back!
Where did they get the money to get there? Though I suppose they don’t necessarily live in Britain.
Well, there does seem to be rather large and surprising amounts of money saved up within some Traveller Communities - if they are actually an extended family unit from a Traveller Community.Just take a look at the utterly ridiculous and quite frankly obscene costs of a now stereotypical 'Gypsy' Wedding where the Wedding Dress alone can cost even more than a small Starter Home somewhere!
A lot of them have brick and mortar homes (usually in Ireland) that they can go back to in Winter when it's too cold for travelling. How do I know? Because I spoke to such a family in a launderette once.
For any of us who might be doubting we are human, I have found this handy website. I don't recommend actually filling in the test in case it is just another way of phishing however in case you suspect you might be a robot it could be useful.How Human Are You? https://howhumanareyou.com/
As a sample, here is one of the questions:
19. What would be the most impolite thing for you to have during a business meeting?
a. a baby.
b. a joint.
c. a margarita.
d. a fit.
e. an orgasm.
It's difficult to know for sure if they are all part of an extended family unit from a Traveller Community? - but, whether they are or they aren't, they don't sound like the kind of folk that you would willingly want as Neighbours.
Was anyone else here as surprised and a bit shocked by the Andy Murray Selfie posted by him in an attempt to reassure all of his Fans? - yet it turned out to be a 'Spot The Mistakes' Picture! ;oOI'm SO very glad that it has been picked up on today by so many Healthcare Professionals who were clearly left just as bewildered and as concerned as me as to just what kind of 'qualified' Nursing Care he is currently receiving ...
The Inflatable Blood Pressure Cuff placed in position on the same Arm as his IV has pretty much left me almost speechless!!! ;oO
Even I knew about the blood pressure cuff and was amazed at the chaotic dressings. Whenever I’ve had a cannula, I’ve been asked which arm/hand I’d prefer.
Or maybe not? Another doctor's opinions are added to the above picture in this article.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019...
i want to know where the scar is from his personalitectomy op.!but i can say that because regarding the game that the english devised, three grand slams, two olympic golds, and 1x world's no.1 all live in scotland! haw haw! pumpt at tennis, yowsah yowsah yowsah!
We only tend to shave Incision Sites pre-Operatively on the Ward as IV's are usually put in by the Anaesthetist down in Theatre - and they go in wherever they personally prefer to put them and depending on finding the best Veins for the job at that time. The incorrect placement of the Blood Pressure Cuff though is just downright wrong - and not even a Student Nurse, in my own time of Nursing, would have ever thought to do that or got away with doing so either.
Obs are usually taken every 5 minutes in Recovery immediately after Surgery, then they become 10 minutes apart, then every 15 minutes before going up to being half hourly and then hourly when back up on the Ward and carry on until a Patient is deemed to be fully recovered and stable. You don't use an Arm that has got an active IV in it - and this will be why there is Blood showing up all along in his IV Tubing.
I must admit I feel very old right now - LOL!!! ;o>Maybe everything that I learnt and practiced as a Nurse is all out of date? I was trained old school style under the all-seeing gaze of hatchet-faced no-nonsense Sisters and Matrons that all had death stares to rival that of Darth Vader!
But the next generation of Nurses coming up after me were University Student Nurses and they were very different to the rest of us. They knew SO much more than we did in our first few years but the downside was that when they finally came onto the Wards on Placement they had no previous hands-on experience when it came to providing actual Patient Care and quite a few of those that I mentored turned out to be very clever but severely lacking in basic people skills.
Nursing Care is probably very different now to what it was back then.

‘The British chip has been left an inch shorter by the 2018 heatwave, according to a report on the risks to UK fruit and vegetable growing from climate change.The spell of baking summer weather was made 30 times more likely by global warming and left spuds substantially smaller than usual. Yields of carrots and onions were also sharply down.
The report, Recipe for Disaster, was produced by The Climate Coalition, which brings together 130 organisations including WWF, the National Trust, the Women’s Institute and Christian Aid, and represents more than 15 million UK members. The report calls for urgent reductions of carbon emissions and food waste by, for example, eating more wonky veg.’
Talking of chips, they've now become a normal part of the Full Irish breakfast. Christ I had a cooked brekky at a very popular cafe this morning.
Consisting of, 2 eggs, black pudding, white pudding, 2 sausages, 2 bacon rashers, mushrooms, fried tomato, baked beans and a generous pile of chips. As well as a rack of toast and as much tea/coffee as you like. 10 euro.
Nearly requested to be wheeled home on a sack trolly.

They do have a de fib just up the road from the cafe.
I usually eat porridge every morning, so rather a shock to the system. Christ knows how some eat that everyday.
Sign in a local pub window."All Day Breakfast - 1 to 5pm"
Whoo. 16:43 from Euston to Edinburgh reduced from 10 coaches to 5. No seat reservations. Hundreds of people standing. Much discontent. I struggled to get off at Birmingham International because of the number of people standing in the aisle & vestibules. Now on a nearly empty train to Aberystwyth/Pwllheli via Shrewsbury but expecting lots of people to get on at New Street. Why do I persist in believing it's possible to travel by train on Friday evening?

Slightly bizarre cover, looks more like a horticultural guide.

"Gingerlily - Deleter of Worlds wrote: "Poetic pits??? I declaim verse from under my arms??"She walks in the night
Baring her plight
To us all
In little shaved bits
And she smells so good
Like a goddess should
From her toes
Up to her pits
lol! I'm going to stop now, to avoid The Wrath of Gingerlily.
(Although that would make for another really good poem, and a great name for a rock band)
It's not so cute To be so hirsuit
Urgent depilation
