My missus is always asking me what I want for Birthdays and Christmas and I never know so she surprised me with a stocking filler. (Well it was after!)

I did go fairly easy in the end, they werent very nice, I got them from work so they probably didn't pay much for them, can't go giving shareholders profits to the minions now can they 😂

It's nice to be out Ive even heard a few boshing and the last one sounded near to my pub chucked solid bag, there is slight hope anyway

We've got them all around Birmingham, everywhere within the Inner Ring Road. £8-00 a day for my Mitsubishi Shogun, £8-00 a day for my Transit Jumbo. So £16-00 a day before I've even begun work. They're calling it a Clean Air Zone.

It's commercial vehicles only to start with but if you have a van converted to a camper like a vw for example it's included. Greater Manchester areas.

I did have my hat on and the navitas onesie, didn't stop me blanking, I think my car felt sorry for me as that wanted me to stay at the lake longer, I had to get a jump start on the way home too, but I got home eventually, 2022 hasn't started that well, and my new bedchair is bent, 😭😭😭😭

2021 with a 99p disguise kit on so far

Yeah I think so, solar Bankmaster, well disappointed with it, will see what angling direct say have emailed them About it

My fears of rising petty crime were realized today. 😭

My garage on the other side of town was broken in to. All my mates fishing gear(10 years WORTH) , some of mine (luckily I had most of my gear in the van) several power tools and anything they could sell for a few quid! 

I'm talking a big van load of gear, not just a few crackheads! They haven't damaged the standard lock, so must of picked it! 

I avoided doubling the locks as a few others have, so as not to attract attention Do I go and put locks on now? If they think I have replaced any gear, they are likely to return & will get in anyway.

Scumbags.... Happened in Summer to a mate, he put an advert on Facebook and offered a reward, but other anglers also looked out for it, 1 guy even found out who had most of his gear and broke into (well smashed his door in) flat for it all back.

Parasites mate. 

We've got a few pikey camps around, it's likely to be them. 

I do know a few people who know a few elders, but I'm not holding my breath. 

Good for your mate, I hope he gave him a good talking to?

Be interesting to know what was "said".

my mate has had a few break ins on his window cleaning van no idea what they hope to find bar a few manky scrims, he put a load of cameras up on the van just films them breaking in.

With the cost of living literally going through the roof and the wages still the same as 20 years ago, I'm afraid that crime will increase as people can't afford anything. 

The police haven't got the resources to cope, either. They are just like the tax man, looking for easy fines to dish out. 

Sorry if I'm being a bit negative, guys.

You are right and I agree with you,and you have every right to be negative, I'm sorry for your loss pal, 

I saw something yesterday that was interesting the police don't prevent crime they turn up after it has happened, crime prevention needs to be tackled and that means stopping people living in poverty and giving them better choices, 

Until we get rid of this goverment, it's not going to get any better

Affordable housing, job creation, mental health supports, addiction treatment all work to reduce crime, and those things are enabled by all levels of government.  Who you vote in as mayor or city counselor counts just like Crown ministers or party leaders.  Having a say in who represents you is the beautiful thing about democracy (just like carp.com 😉).  A quick scan of the world news drives the point home.
