One of the stats (interesting to me) about Labour winning/gaining the Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner election yesterday is that around half of the postal votes issued were not returned.

In other words the voters simply tore them up.

Oh!

One of my neighbours alerted our local whatsapp group that his CCTV spotted a drone outside his house just before midnight last night.

Today he's told us about a drone detector app he's downloaded.

Any opinions, please? Do drone detector apps work?

Feels like everyone in knows I've got the decorator in the house.

Just had friendly conversation in the café with a couple who hitherto we'd only exchanged smiles.

First Q: "How's the decorator getting on?"

It started a few weeks ago when I shared it in the street with someone who occasionally joins the coffee table after which it's become the opening line with more folk than I thought I knew.

(Am somewhat flattered, in truth.)

Shows how long it's been since I went into a multistorey department store.

Went to Worcester with sis today. Used the escalator to go up two floors. At the end of the first I got confused. In my day you'd do a 180 and go up again. But here they make you walk back past products to get to the next up escalator.

Same coming back down.

Idiots.

No wonder The House of Fraser chain is going bust.

My first into to the FAN club was the video by Connie Knox which started by showing how to select copy and paste from the (US) census.

Then got to the meat sifting through eliminating those unlikely to be relevant leaving the remainder as possible fathers of her ancestor.

Which remained unresolved but she was able to pin down the grandparents.

That was the big lesson for me ... that one doesn't necessarily discover the actual parent(s) but you might prove the grandparents :)

Good afternoon all, Sorry I'm late.

I enjoyed reading Jan's repost of the finding of Mary Smith earlier.

Now to catch up :)

With the next government elections not due until May 2026 they've got two years of weak minority government ahead of them.

Interesting times.

This lady ran Conservative Party election campaigns for 40 years.

Her family have been loyal Conservative Party activists for generations.

She is annoyed about being regarded as merely a 78 year old lady.

She's also annoyed about something else.

This is how elections are lost.

For those who think the antics of Tory MPs can't get any racier ... you didn't read about the run up to the 1997 election!

If you can find an old copy of Gyles Brandreth's memoirs you won't regret it. Be assured. There are more boxes yet to be ticked :))

BTW ... It's called "Breaking the Code" not breaking the cod.

Pity.
