Interesting how telly definitions change in the streaming era. It’s not live television, but essential to watch live! It’s great to have programmes the country watch in unison. Well done #BBC #CelebrityTraitors 📺

The triple lock is dead, long live the triple lock?
Government says Labour adjusting, not scrapping, triple lock
Government officials have insisted that Andy Burnham is retaining a triple lock on the state pension, but concede that he is planning to adjust its terms from April 2030 if Labour wins the next election.

At present the triple lock means that the state pension is uprated annually by whichever is highest out of three metrics: CPI inflation, 2.5 per cent or average earnings growth that year.

Under the prime minister’s plans, earnings growth would be tracked over time instead of annually — while the other two metrics would remain unchanged.

Helen Miller, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies think-tank, said on X: “I think the ‘tweak’ he mentioned can only imply that old triple lock is gone. New one is similar but without ratchet.”

If so some eason you do choose to work for free (for example, for a charity, or to support a small local enterprise), consider sending them an invoice for your usual fee, and mark it void. That way, they'll know the value of what you're giving them.

My 1st job was in a WHSmith bookshop in Fife. In the morning I'd collect books from the shop, based on a list produced each day, & pack them in boxes. Then at lunch a lorry would arrive with new books. We'd take the new ones out & put the old ones in. They were the same books. It did affect me, yes.

Frequently amazed at the way people blindly share assets in work settings without actually opening them to see what they're sharing. I've been trying to come up with a phrase for this. The closest I can get is 'communication hygiene'. It only takes a second or two to check

I've just asked Google about it and it's trying to convince me that radishes are a perfect way to represent priests, and asking me if I want more advice about carving the radishes to represent specific hats. #TheArchers

Sprinkler in action for 5 hours. A sprinkler uses c1,000L per hour of water (I think!). Total water usage 5,000 litres = equivalent of what a family would use in five days. Crazy thing is, parched lawns come back to life without irrigation. I doubt they will thank me if I point this out #hosepipeban

A difficult hour (ok, two) trying to fix a dripping tap. Could NOT shift the cartridge hex nut (have bought new cartridge). Gave up in the end and when I put everything back together it turned out it has almost stopped dripping… this is not the result it may at first seem.
