In Scotland from this month parking on a footpath - even partially - will incur a GBP100 fine.

Was that Condon or Condom? If I finished in just 5.5 minutes it'd be a miracle! My wife does, but I'm way behind.

When is a bank no longer a bank? To think I used to work for that mob!

I'm a pensioner and don't use delivery services as I don't trust anyone else to choose my groceries.

I take my own cloth bags.

This is old advice. Haven't eaten white bread for years, only brown or wholegrain, for this very reason.

Call me old-fashioned, but there is n o way I would entertain digital receipts. I require paper to audit what I've spent and do not want my information included in electronic devices. Simply stop using dangerous chemicals on the paper!

When are supermarkets going to wake up and abolish these stupid self-serve checkouts?

I favour a boycott over self-serve checkouts!

Don't really fancy a bidet, but all the other advice is valid.
