Shaking the money tree…

I’ve never had any involvement with Bailiffs, however I have recently read that they frequently break the law but the Police aren’t interested, calling it a Civil matter.

Then Bradford Council tried to swindle Dr. Richard North (from the EUReferendum blog…)

Thieves-charter

To-kill a bailiff

Attacking the money tree

The siege of bradford

Fighting back

Good advice

Siege-of-Bradford day two

Shaking the money tree

Siege of bradford day three

Rule of law

Suicide note from the centre

Result!

I have picked out the pertinent posts in order. I like this observation from a commenter-

“It is very simple; they baited you, they got hit by an exocet, they did not even feel the impact and now they are sinking. “

I’ve already asked LCC via FOI his question about numbers and costs to see if Leeds are playing the same game.

It is an interesting statistic that so many people don’t pay their Council Tax until the summons stage, and that the mainstream media don’t report it…

Life goes on…

This touching thought arrived in my inbox from a friend who is facing the imminent loss of a loved one.

People are wicked, wonderful and everything in between.
In the end, it’s all just a question of finding the right ones to be with, isn’t it?
And remembering to enjoy them while you’ve got them (which is the hard part).

My thoughts are with him and his family at this time.

The Victorian Internet

This is apparently the last remaining cable hut anywhere- where undersea cables come ashore from foreign climes. (Although not trans-atlantic, being south of Lands End, these ones go to places like Portugal, Gibraltar & Bilbao). It is a unique relic of the Cable Museum at Porthcurno.

Despite both Karen and myself being steeped in Telecommunications heritage, the museum wasn’t quite as interesting as we were expecting it to be. It does have some interesting wartime tunnels though.

Back from the west country

We have just spent a very pleasant week down in Cornwall, staying on a small, quiet caravan site.

Reviewing my photos, I was bemused to see that visitors to St. Michael’s Mount were happy to paddle across the still covered causeway rather than queue up for the little boats.

(We caught the boat going, walked across a dry causeway returning).
