UK water companies made £340m by pouring billions of litres of industrial/commercial wastewater into sewage treatment works. Treatment works are not designed to remove most chemicals, leaving pollutants to pass into rivers, seas and farmland. Investment neglected. Practices are mostly unregulated.

Yet another example of how wealthy global elite are being allowed to screw ordinary people in this country When CD&R were allowed to take over Morrisons they promised to keep Rathbone's bakery open and not sell off any Morrisons assets Then they sold the petrol forecourts and shut Rathbone's 🤡

Not sure, the best quote I've heard using it in recent years was when Germany were knocked out of the World Cup due to a controversial VAR decision and one of the football pundits posted "Whatever you do, don't mention the VAR" 😂 www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-so...

It's lamb cutlets, which is what I said, not rack We were restaurant inspectors for a food guide for many years but neither of us are trained as chefs Since I retired I've been doing most of the cooking to take some of the domestic duties away from my lovely wife, who is also retired #teamwork

I used lamb cutlets for the lamb lollipops but really it should be done with rack of lamb, cut into lollipops. I did rack of lamb with a pesto and pine nut crust last month.

So a Monterey Jack cheese crust around the edge of the pizza base, cool 😎 They must be using a different type of mozzarella to me because my mozzarella is a soft white ball so it can't be sprinkled, not sure what the (1¾ c) at the end of the description means, sorry, but I can buy grated mozzarella

It's certainly not a return to the corrupt Tories being the nasty party Mainly because they never stopped being the nasty party Half the population might have already forgotten their 14 years of recent hell under Tory rule but I'm sure I'm not the only one who remembers it vividly 🤮

Boris Johnson was a disaster for this country. Not only did he totally screw up the Brexit negotiations but he killed thousands of pensioners in care homes during the Covid pandemic, including my sister.
