A Bank Robber Stuck In A Groove
Apparently, the same bank robber has robbed the same bank twice in five days. It’s here in the Manchester Evening News. this is a paragraph.
Detective Constable Jeanette Lamb, of Stockport CID, said: “The offender has struck at almost the same time of the morning, using a strikingly similar method and wearing an identical outfit so obviously we believe the same person to be responsible for both robberies.
He certainly seems to have found a modus operandi that works.
A Disappointing Starbucks
After Pudding Mill Lane I went to Eastfield to do a bit of shopping in the Marks and Spencer there. I successfully bought the jumper I wanted and some food for tonight.
However, I was not able to buy any coffee.
A Disappointing Starbucks
Because of my stroke and a slightly wonky mouth, I do not drink coffee from cardboard or plastic cups. And that’s all you now get in this branch in Eastfield! They used to have proper mugs before the Olympics.
So I came home thirsty!
But then Eastfield is one of those gluten-free deserts. Now it seems I can’t get a coffee there in Starbucks. I usually drink in one of their stores, as I can have something to eat if I want.

Wearing The Poppy With Pride
All of the DLR trains are wearing poppies.

They actually wear two; one at each end.
Sue The Twits
It is reported on the front page of The Times, that Lord McAlpine is going to sue those who might have defamed him on Twitter. It’s also here in the Telegraph.
If I were him, I’d find the most well-known twit on the list with lots of money and sue just them. It wouldn’t cost me a fortune, but the returns could be high.
“Local Business Lending Partnership” Gets Hijacked
Lancashire and Funding Circle have called their partnership a Local Business Lending Partnership.
But type that into Google, even with quotes and you get adverts for Wonga and Lloyds TSB.

Don’t You Just Love The Internet
The Internet is the natural home of all those who see reds, blues and oranges under the bed and want to further all sorts of wacky causes.
As an example type.
Adolf Hitler Angela Merkel
into Google.
You get enough rubbish to fill every skip in London.
The only trouble is that many believe these sorts of stories. There are millions born every minute.
Lancashire And Funding Circle
Lancashire County Council and Funding Circle have got together to form what they call a Local Business Lending Partnership to lend money to small and medium-sized businesses.
it is reported in The Times today and the story has featured on the BBC this morning.
On the face of it, this seems to be a good idea, but why does the council need to get involved?
Someone Who Doesn’t Like The New Bus for London
Yesterday, I met someone, who doesn’t like the New Bus for London. He was a bus controller at a main station, where there was a bit of chaos because of the diversions due to the Remembrance Day Parade.
He said they were unreliable, with particular problems with the air-conditioning. As they are a new product this is probably to be expected. And I do know that the air conditioning was rather a difficult thing to design and fit.
On the other hand, passengers and staff with direct experience of the New Buses for London, all seem to love them.
Fuel And Energy Prices
I had a stroke two years ago and being unable to drive, I moved from my large house in deepest Suffolk to the centre of London. My new house is fully insulated and my fuel bills have gone through the floor.
Some of those moaning at costs, should look at their lifestyles. Why should I subsidise the 4×4’s and heat-inefficient houses of others?
