Surrey Phil Jun 2020 5:44pm, 12 Jun 2020 4,133 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I often chat with my councillor friend about the new KFC near us. They have bins in and outside but the problem is people discarding their rubbish on their way home. Another fried chicken shop in West Croydon often has school children queuing up outside. I often find their packaging along the 403 bus route when I run around Sanderstead and Warlingham at the weekends.

um Jun 2020 6:33pm, 14 Jun 2020 2,665 posts	Quote Pin um 1) BBC headlines .... eg Gatwick drone arrest couple receive £200k payout from Sussex Police When really they agreed £55k damages for false imprisonment for 36 hours and the press coverage. 2) The legal bill submitted by their lawyers to Sussex Police was £145k And this was the settlement 'out of court'. I wonder what the costs would have been if it had gone to trial. 3) Buried in the report the news that the drone sightings that caused the shutdown & disruption 'may have been police drones' !!!

How can someone wearing an Iron Cross on their jacket, or someone with a 'coal scuttle' on their head, or people giving that type of salute actually believe that they are protecting war memorials, or have any right to do so? (this is more than 'grinds my gears' - but there is no 'utter revulsion' thread)
