As far as I'm aware pensions come out of NI contributions which also pay for unemployed and the NHS. Problem is that its not ring fenced. Its about time the gov,s got taxation sorted in the UK.

Yep, the heating has been kicking in here first thing. I went out on the bike yesterday and wore leathers rather than jeans.

Ice! It wasn't that cold up here.

It was warm today. Cool when I went out on the bike after tea, about 11 degrees. But as soon as the sun went down it plummeted to 6 degrees! I quickly headed home.

We had thick fog this morning followed by clear blue skies, so that's pretty much three seasons in two days. I wonder what we'll get tomorrow

GRRRRRRR!!!!!! The bunch of Kn0bhedz in Westminster and their insistence on pushing through the Online Safety Act has resulted in Imgur closing it's uk service over the threat of a non-compliance fine. So now, none of the pictures I've posted here on the forum can be viewed anymore. Pillocks and eejits.

**Edit** For anybody similarly affected, this is an alternative Brit based free image host.

The image host I posted a link to above seems pretty straight forward and easy to use so far Lance. Brit based too, so should be free of any orange toddler tantrums.
