A slow gentle walk with #sophiefromromania this morning as I had to keep stopping because of my bad back. But when I got home, I finally managed to get through to a real human being at the hospital and got an appointment! It’s five weeks away but still a huge relief.

At the moment there are two fixed points on our morning walk, the wall where I sit and rest my painful back halfway round and the hedge where #sophiefromromania stops for a good scratch

I’ve been in charge of #sophiefromromania today and she’s decided the end of the garden is a good place to be 😬

Stansted Airport drop-off fees increase to £28 for 15 minutes A spokesperson says it wants customers to use greener methods like public transport.

London Stansted Airport drop-off price rises from £7 to £10; £28 for 15-30 minutes.

Greedy owners portray it as an environment friendly move. Public transport isn't always possible.

It is about exploitation and higher profits.

No regulator will side with customers.
