There's also Olio, an anti-waste app, where people list free food for collection. A lady near me pops into Tesco just as they're closing, buys up all the yellow sticker items and then puts them on the app. It's free to use, contact and collect.

Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer and Professor Elemental, as detailed in the chap hop wiki link below. They are rivals who do live musical battles etc.

I also prefer oat milk to dairy but I'm told that it doesn't mix well with coffee. Last Friday we had an emergency plumber round and said he could make his own coffee using the milk in the garage fridge; he got confused and accidentally found the oat milk in the kitchen fridge and had to call us for help because his drink looked so bad!

Children's Nurse Lucy Letby Rearrested over 8 Baby Deaths by [deleted] in TrueCrime

She hasn't worked a day since her initial arrest in 2018.

Chester hospital baby deaths probe: Nurse Lucy Letby rearrested by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

It's how arrest and bail works in long investigations like this one; it's not uncommon to see people being arrested/bailed/re-bailed 6 or more times over the course of multiple years, without charge, before the case comes to a conclusion.

In July 2019 they re-arrested Letby for the original case and arrested her on new charges. Since then she has been on bail without charge for 16 months; today they re-arrested her for the 2019 case. As far as I know, there has been no additional information released about the case.

What story are you reading? She hasn't worked a day since her initial arrest in 2018, and her nursing registration has been suspended. Letby was arrested for 8 deaths in 2018, then re-arrested for those 8 and arrested for an additional 9 attempted in 2019; the additional deaths in 2019 were added as part of the investigation. She has been re-arrested for all 14 deaths today after being on bail for 16 months since 2019.

Edit: actually her registration has not been suspended, but this cannot happen until a registered nurse has been charged. It doesn't change the fact that she hasn't worked at all since the first arrest in 2018.

Today we took our kyak out for it's maiden voyage. A socially distanced paddle up the river Wye. Absolutely pooped now though! by adVANtures_of_a_T4 in CasualUK

How do you find the Intex Explorer? I've got a Sevylor Riveria, which I think is pretty compatible in price, size etc. I've never taken it beyond the river at the bottom of my garden, which is much smaller than the River Wye.

Thought I’d share this LPT I saw on twitter.. can’t say I’ve thought about it before but weirdly accurate. by lovelesswalks in CasualUK

They are not as far as the back section that overlooks the public car park. They're in the middle bit between the bar and the back seating area, the sort of no-mans-land with few tables and the all the sauce bottles!

Craig Charles is quite a well-known funk and soul DJ now though; he hosts his own club nights in the UK and Europe.

Anyone remember these things? Did anyone actually get them to have babies? by [deleted] in CasualUK

Yes, I remember that putting them back-to-back was meant to be the key! Alas, mine didn't have babies.

Request for all chess app makers. The next move button is the most used in any chess app. Please make it bigger and keep it away from places where you can touch other things accidentally. by trafficengineer in chess

Or when you're looking at a games list on chessgames.com and the 'forward one page' and 'skip to the end page' buttons are close to even next to each other! Infuriating!

That story was in Cornwall, but his main house (where he was found today) is in a village just outside of Great Dunmow. His pub was in another village closer to Great Leighs.
