Is Sadiq's spin on it, but he's just playing Politics...

Really bad news for my wifes croupier friends as he has also extended the hours from 6pm to 10pm and made it 7 days a week so they will all be £75 a week worse off.

No its true central government has imposed the following rules for the bail out
Fares must rise 1% over inflation
C charge must resume and rise to £15 a day , 7 days a week with extended hours to be reviewed next year to see if it will stay
Free travel for under 18s suspended
Free travel for pensioners removed during peak hours
2 members of government must sit on the tfl board and over see all finances
All repeat sick must be reported to central government ..
The Tories aren't stupid. They knew khan was getting in for a second term. Imposing these will no doubt cost him votes as many people will just blame him without the full story.
I mean just putting up somebody decent and having decent policies isn't enough

Fair enough, I thought because all the flack he was getting from the Government it was his idea to increase the charges but reading a bit more I see the criticism is aimed at his general running of TfL finances. I personally think TfL should be far more heavily subsidised and fares slashed to make public transport more attractive.

I got a brilliant article on It if you have a spare 20 mins

They "bailed" us out to the tune of 1 million grant and 500 loan which covers us until sept if we don't get money coming in
Boris when mayor agreed with Osborne to get rid of our 700 million a year centre gov grant , that's 2.1 billion missing over past 3 years
So if that hadn't happened we wouldn't need bailing out
So take less money then you would have had.. add some conditions to give us control back of the office we lost and be grateful

Ordered a new bbq last week, it arrived today which is quite impressive however they've sent the wrong model 
not really an irritation or gladden my heart, but some ejit has put a load of gold fish in one of the ponds at the Kings..
Herons have had most of them already by the amount of bits of dead fish around the edge of the pond

Amazon again. One week after getting the account hacked & getting 2 bits of crap sent to us, we are still trying to get Amazon to provide us with the details of how we return them, and we have now been charged on the cancelled credit card.

Having done some downsizing I am now in need of some clobber... Just nowhere, yet, to go and get some... She'll just have to continue putting up with me having my backside hanging out of my strides...

This could be in 1 of 3 threads; I played today, things that gladden, or irritations which is why I am here.
I played today in a round robin match play, so far so good, was winning (happy) but opponent off 12 was level par for 6 holes so 1 down after 8 (irritation)
However the real irritation, no good for any sovern softies was it rained buckets and we came off. Only 10 % chance forecast but it did not say how hard. Overall happy but after no rain for 9 weeks it was annoying to get drenched

Surely that gladdens the heart ??

The golf net I ordered a month ago won’t be here for ages yet according to the online tracking.
I probably wouldn’t even find it irritating if I’d had to endure the horrors of World War 2 but, alas, I am but a weak minded millennial and have no ability to cope.

I do wonder how many golf nets are going to appear on Ebay now courses have or are about to open again........
My net arrived but the mat I ordered on Amazon never turned up. I got a cheap one that did a job but had a genius brainwave at the weekend and got for tiles of astroturf from Homebase. Two to stand on and two to hit off, both sections adjoined with joining pins. Means I can put both on the grass and hit off a level surface. Pick them up after and the grass soon recovers. Can now work on my strike and record my swing to try and get better
