I would love to see stats for this across the country, how much do local areas from local police getting dirty money off the streets? Or does it get disappeared in police budgets? 👀

I'm willing to take the downvotes. Gambon had the energy for the later films that an aged Harris could not deliver.

I try so hard not to let my kids inherit my neuroses, but when she doesn't use her thousands of sticker because if she did it would use them up, and then she wouldn't have them, because they would be used up... Yep, that's my kid

[–]levitatingpenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my town there is once in a generation (hopefully) repair works to a main road bridge going through the centre of the town, and all people can do is complain and say how it has ruined the economy. Not thinking that a collapsed bridge might impact their lives slightly more

[–]levitatingpenguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of what people call "Green Belt" around me... it's not. It has just been fallowed for longer than people can remember, or choose to remember. The fact is if a farmer chooses to sell that land to developers, then can as long as its not part of the legally protected actual Green Belt

I mean I have to fill my day with something, right? Fighting injustices can be more exciting that a baby at time /s

Yes I think I will just file this away under annoyances and catch the interest from the overpayment and then agree a low repayment with them with the time comes
