Been doing a fair bit of motorway driving the last few days. A reminder for those who need it:
Highway code
Motorways: Lane discipline
Rule 264
Keep in the left lane unless overtaking
You're welcome 🚗
We did it the other way around... we've had solar panels for a couple of years and are picking up our first electric car on Saturday 🚗

It's Sunday! And that means it's time to shake things up with a little grown-up show and tell! So show us something neat and tell us about it! Something you made, something you did, something you're proud of. Friends, pets, family. Anything really! Go on, show us!
This is a good local website (Leicestershire) and it has national resources too www.startaconversation.co.uk/im-feeling-s...
Talking to someone sounds like a good idea. Do you have someone to talk to? 😊
This got promoted to me on Facebook and I just had to come here and find it ❤️
Maybe if he's done well out of it on the stockmarket he'll think he has won 🤷🏻♀️

It's GCSE revision time in our house and I've been cajoled into joining in by taking a past paper. I was allowed no revision and my last maths lesson was in 1997.
My mom remembers the old pronunciation being used

Haha that's brilliant. Well done you. He looks very happy! 😄
Fabulous 👌🏻
My husband likes milky bars and I've bought him a milky bar egg. Disappointed now I've not thought of this over the years. Maybe a future son-in-law will!

The children are 14 and 15 but I've still hid mini eggs around the house for them to find. You're never too old for that, right?
And milky bars? You got him milky bars too, right?

Is that a potential fine of up to £60,000,000 or am I just super tired this evening?

The possibly third constitutional super-power is the sheer range and wealth of discretionary powers of the government not under the Royal Prerogative but already existing under perhaps thousands of legislative provisions. Some of these provisions under Acts of Parliament even allow ministers to change the law by ministerial discretion, as well as to issue statutory instruments and other instruments (such as statutory guidance) with legal effect. Every successive government has added more of these provisions, even if they complained about them in opposition. And it would be open to a government under the first constitutional super-power - the doctrine of parliamentary supremacy - to add even more of these powers One suspects various “think-tanks” are already collating the discretionary powers that already exist, ready to arm - DOGE-style - an incoming radical and illiberal government. Such an incoming government would not need to break the law - for the law already will provide almost all the powers such a government could want.
The legal powers for wide "executive orders" are already there, waiting to be (mis)used.
And the current government is doing nothing to guard against the risk of such future (mis)use by an illiberal government.
Let's prove you're human. Solve a puzzle so we know you're not a robot.
Morning Bluesky. I am human, I promise, but I don't know what they're asking me to do?!
We have had solar panels for a few years. Apart from not being allowed to put the dishwasher on at the same time as the kettle unless the sun is out, they're fab! 🌤
The Guardian has deployed an anonymous messaging system for whistleblowers to contact journalists, designed by my colleagues including @lambda.bsky.social. It’s very elegant
