DID YOU KNOW THAT CONSUMER RIGHTS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED DURING THE EMERGENCY?

Big business once again looks et to clobber ordinary people, in response to our claims against Hays Travel and British Airways we were told that consumer rights no longer apply, I never heard that mentioned on any daily briefing. I think it is what we expect they want your money up front and then hang on to it when it doesn't happen. It looks as if we'll have to eat humble pie and accept vouchers in the hope we can use them but what if they go bust. For relatively small claims insurance isn't an obvious choice as with excess and premium increases you may end up losing more money. So far I add Nat West black card to Hays Travel and British Airways as working against the interests of ordinary people, I bet we don't manage to get our own back though, being 'in it together' will mean the super rich can scoop up cheap shares and the whole exercise becomes another bonanza for the rich. Anyway in frustration I've written to Esther McVey our mp aka Dracula's mother.

We had a very busy day, DVD orders completed and posted after we went on the old codgers hour at Waitrose, only a few people in at a time and hardly anything on the shelves. Called at a small butchers they had any meat you wanted like Lawrence has toilet rolls and baked beans at our village shop. Perhaps best avoid supermarkets and stick to small outlets and farm shops. When we got back I got more DVDs on as download options, everything that has recently gone on the shop is now in download version as well as DVD. I'll try and get caught up with covers for latest films I've done. I've now scanned all the Winter family films of Aberdeenshire etc ready to go to Scottish National Library Moving Image Collection at Kelvin Hall. I've also completed all of our friend George's London bus films which were a nightmare to scan with lots of bad joins. That then leaves me with some much better quality sources to go through. Hopefully I can dip into enough material to offer a few more Spot On productions and get cracking with more Bus Spot Ultras, Llandudno and Birkenhead are in the pipeline.

I managed to get a couple of bags of super strength cement so another project I can get on with is putting a base down for the new garden seat we are getting so we can make the most of those rare Cheshire moments of sun and warmth with a G&T etc. Northwich was very quiet, I never saw more than two people other than with children and everyone seems to be handling it well so far but I guess the youngsters are really peed off as it doesn't seem to infect them. Still not heard of anyone actually getting Corona or anyone who knows someone who knows someone but rumour that a posh party recently resulted in four Real Cheshire Housewives getting it.

Here are some more photos of the trucks at Goole. There is a footpath I could use for legitimate exercise by the M6 might take the video with me, never ever seen anybody else there!
