Has anyone ever experienced petty pilfering at work? I don’t mean stealing from the company, but colleagues stealing from their fellow workers.

I’m begining to think that the decline of the trade union movement might have something to do with it. When I first started work, we had a strong trade union which helped to forge a common bond between the workers; one would never steal from those with whom one had a common cause. But now it seems as…

Anybody a member of the BMP? If you are/were would you hide it?

This is a fascinating event, and yet another that is only possible on the internet to reach so far and so quickly.

Can i just take this opportunity to remind everybody of the Cottingham Lights big switch on. Its happening on Monday 24th November at 7.00pm. You need to get there early as thousands of people attend to see the lights. These lights are erected by volunteers who give up many of their Sunday mornings so the village can put on a good display. Fund raising happens through out the year to help with the new lights and maintenance that is needed to maintain…

If the stories and letters in the Mail together with some of the postings on this site were to be believed, no other local authority in this green and pleasant land can boast more examples of how to waste public money than Hull City Council. I have observed many an occasion when the question has been asked, why can’t Hull City Council be more like Manchester, Birmingham (or A.N other City/District/County) Council and be more responsible, especially…

I didn’t realise that the photograph on the licence is only valid for 10 years and therefore needs to be updated. This started to happen from July 2008; the DVLA is going to issue reminders from May 2008. The holder MUST renew their licence before their current photo expires, or they face a £1,000 fine.

Very nice too.

We’ve all heard of train-spotters, plane-spotters and bird-watchers. Here’s something a little different – cloud-spotters! I’m sometimes accused of having my head in the clouds. Well, I’m pleased to say that, unlike Wordsworth’s Lonely Cloud, I’m not alone. In fact there is even a cloud-watcher’s appreciation society – and I’m not ashamed to admit I’m a member. “My name is Bob Carter and I love watching clouds.” There you go, I’ve said it! Look…
