Managers of top clubs whinging that football is too physical this season.
Mainly because it’s not feasible of them to dispose of it, I also believe that it’s treated differently to dog excrement as it isn’t harmful to humans, like a dogs is.Walking in the local park today, somebody had obviously been riding a horse as it had left it's muck right in the middle of the path, TWICE! Dog owners have to clear up after their dogs, why can't horse riders?
That may all be true, but at the end of the day, they have left two places in a public park where the path is covered in muck which people and kiddies can walk through and kids can ride their bikes and scooters through it. It's totally unacceptable. They should still be made to pick it up.Mainly because it’s not feasible of them to dispose of it, I also believe that it’s treated differently to dog excrement as it isn’t harmful to humans, like a dogs is.
Just let a keen gardener know, they should be round there like a shot with a shovel and wheelbarrow...good for the rhubarbThat may all be true, but at the end of the day, they have left two places in a public park where the path is covered in muck which people and kiddies can walk through and kids can ride their bikes and scooters through it.

Accommodation taking the mick over pricing because of folk not going overseas... I know they lost 18 months of revenue, so I can understand a hike, but some of it is daft,
Currently looking at a few days away at the start of October (!) before half term... one place in Cornwall we go to quite often has doubled its room rate to £460 a night. No thanks! Another place with lakeside lodges, in Devon wants £950 for the week self catering.
There's plenty of alternatives, so will be voting with our feet.
The way a lot of them do it nowadays is the use of algorithms to calculate the rate. When I used to travel to Worcester, the cost of the hotel could double, treble, even quadruple when the Cheltenham races was on. It's nothing new and the old thing of supply and demand. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm in Northampton for the MotoGP. I'm lucky as I have enough IHG points to get the room for free but if I was paying in cash, then it would be £186 a night, if you can get the room. People will pay it as that hotel is now fully booked.Accommodation taking the mick over pricing because of folk not going overseas...

I wouldn't bother, I understand trying to make up for lost earnings but that's ridiculous.
Not sure I even understand that. This is an opportunity to get a nation to look seriously at holidaying in the UK going forward. Fleece people now and profiteer and that is what they will remember and it will be back to the Costas next year.

That was my thoughts as well. And on top of that those loyal customers who have been holidaying in the UK for the past few years who are now priced out or can't find anywhere suitable are likely to remember that next time they come to book. Two of the places that we've stayed at pre pandemic are more than double the price for the same weeks this year. We won't be bothering and won't be rushing back.
My argument against a UK holiday has always been that I can get more for my money plus added sun going abroad and nothing this year has changed my mind.
