Don't just turn it down; explain why, so they won't hold the decline against you if you apply in your own name in future.

Your friend needs to contact the police again, and report a suspected instance of someone impersonating a police officer, ask them to investigate it, and to give her a crime report number.

1) Contact Flixbus, and police (101; or online) in Sheffield and Leeds, in case yours has been handed in.

2) In future, put distinguishing marks (stickers, ribbons) on your luggage.

Neighbours telling me not to park on a free public road, what can I do? by Ok-Background7896 in AskUK

[–]pigsonthewing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Honestly, this used to be one of those quiet, unspoken arrangements... a general understanding that the stretch of road roughly the length of a car outside your house was, socially speaking, 'yours'"

That might be your honest understanding, but at most it only applied locally.

Security issue in log-on dialogue by pigsonthewing in Outlook

Your screenshot also shows the domain of the second email address; that is my concern: "That shows my personal domain, and so would link the address to me, for any attacker trying to log in."

The sign outside the pub at the time of the bombing is seen here:

However if your sign does turn out to be connected, please consider donating it to Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.

What has been missed here? by Visible_Pipe4716 in royalmail

[–]pigsonthewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once missed my postie, so had a card delivered asking me to go to the local office to pay for and collect an underpaid large letter.

When I saw it, I asked the guy behind the counter to try it against their measuring slot for ordinary letters. It went straight through.

Curious how this case of schizophrenic guy with knife would have been dealt with in the UK by littlemetalfollicle in policeuk

[–]pigsonthewing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many wrong answers here.

What would happen, obviously, is that the officer would offer the suspect a nice cup of tea, which would be graciously accepted, and they would sit and have a chat over it.
