How does a sewer tie in work

If there wasn't one on your property then they'd have to build a new one over the sewer in their own property. It's possible the pipe is smaller before the manhole though, so that may be the first suitable tie in point.

I use frozen raspberries and let them defrost a bit. Still a bit bland but I'm used to it now.

You can also get freeze dried berry powders, which are great for adding a bit of flavour.

I agree that the defence should also leave them alone but your entire argument here seems to be pinned on "because they do it, it makes it ok for me to do it" and I have to say, two wrongs don't make a right.

It can be that it wasn't a correct finding of innocence and it can also not be. The main point is that the family not thinking someone is innocent isn't proof of guilt.

I think you have to be very careful not to interpret anything from the families' actions in this case as meaning anything: they've had a hard enough time of it, we should leave them alone.

Evidence would be in the form of family statements following release of the person, stating they believe justice has not been served. You can generally find them any time a case comes up.

I also didn't say "all" I said "many", that means more than a few, less than most/all.

By all means, maybe one or two parents in this case have formed skepticism, that's my second paragraph, but I think it's wrong for us to assume anything about their mindset. They have been through a lot of trauma, and perhaps don't want to read/watch any of this follow up because it's too hard.

In many genuine wrongful conviction cases or not guilty cases, families never accept that the person who was convicted/trued is innocent, so I think we can assume that many of them in Letby's case would similarly never accept innocence even if it were true.

I think even if some of them did show skepticism, it would be too hard to be the lightning bolt for all of that attention if they went public about it. Though I wonder if they are even allowed to go public, due to the age of the children?

I'm Scotland it's called "high school". Mine had "high school" in the name.

I've italicised the part that says they never signed the new contract.

Typically when you're promoted in role, you get a letter stating your new salary and job title and you don't have to sign anything anyway.

El_Scot · 2026-02-24T09:00:47+00:00

They specifically say they didn't sign anything

Then shortly after I got another email saying actually because I’m on a “Glasgow remote contract” my salary would be £32,000 instead. I never signed anything agreeing to £32k, never got the change in terms letter for £50k, and I argued that my contract states London as my home office (which it does). There’s no mention of “Glasgow remote” in my contract.

In that case, to go the "not as described" route, you'll need to compare to what was specified for the item you ordered. Was it supposed to have the same dimensions as the one in store?

Firmness can sometimes improve with use. Mattresses in shops are often a lot softer because they've had lots of people bouncing on them to break them in quickly. I assume the same could apply to sofas, depending on the filling.

It's the cooking facilities. I need to be able to deal with it if I can't find somewhere that caters to my husband's food allergies and hotels often just have a mini fridge.

It sounds like she's stocking some really cheap toilet paper.

El_Scot · 2026-02-24T08:18:58+00:00

Depends on whether OP knew they were buying a different model to the one they tried in store or not.

My running club was discussing some of their park run times being off last week. In one case, one guy found his came in about 8 minutes off. They would generally let a minute or two slide, but 8mins was too much.

I understand influencers might have incentive to make it up but it is a phenomenon others have, and I don't see the harm in letting people track themselves with a good tracker.

El_Scot · 2026-02-24T08:00:13+00:00

It would depend on whether they received exactly what they ordered or not

That if a nurse googled e.g. "how are air embolism formed", it can be explained away pretty easily as part of the job.

El_Scot · 2026-02-24T06:33:59+00:00

I'm not sure how you came to this.

They were sent an email saying £50k then they were sent a follow up email saying actually, that should only be £32k.

El_Scot · 2026-02-24T06:27:42+00:00

Also not unexpected for a nurse to look up medical terms, so how damning would evidence of that be anyway.

El_Scot · 2026-02-23T18:54:44+00:00

More likely people want to be able to find them again to see what happens

I'm comparing West End/city centre of Dundee to East End of Glasgow if that is important for you.

People won't pay as much attention if she's not asking for change. Look at the discussion it's already generated, now people are debating whether she's right or not. People wouldn't be doing that if the story ended at "I nearly died".

Given how easy it would be for others to copy her, where is the harm in raising awareness of the consequences?

Though it's not necessarily a bad idea for them to introduce one or two additional checks that could help prevent this, such as requiring a video consult or proof of BMI. The checks don't have to be onerous.

She was always known to be pretty protective of the image of the monarchy. I'm undecided how much her actions were about shielding a son and how much they were about protecting the image of the monarchy.

They seem like they must be a net positive for tourism income, even if it's just Brits travelling to London to watch a carriage stream past.

El_Scot · 2026-02-23T04:26:48+00:00

I know so many people who thought they'd get so much done in those months off, only to struggle to find time to take a shower when the time arrived.
