 ;D

They changed ours to sensor lights...  noooo:

The only problem was that the lights went off when they sensed you! doh:

Walking up the road was a nightmare (with no light pollution here)... one minute a brightly lit street and then (when they detected you) completely pitch black....  cussing:

Thankfully they have now put us back on a timer....  cloud9:

From a Cyprus forum...

Quote from: Lynsab
The Daily Mail is, for good reason, widely seen as a sensationalist and largely inaccurate publication with very heavy biases. Very few people in the UK would treat it as a trusted source in regard to any story whatsoever.

The DM likes to run stories which are anti-immigrant, anti-Gypsy, anti-working class and so forth. They dislike a lot of groups of people, and are not afraid to misrepresent stories or just make them up....look up the mailwatch forum...

As for Hopkins shes just awful, she prays on the weak, she’s bigoted, the list goes on and I just think she’s quite sick in the head.....you've heard what she thinks of expats?  :shock: what she says is mocked by millions in the UK...none cares what she thinks...

This is from a Guardian reader who regularly quotes it (and The Independent) as the truth... ::)

For the last few weeks, both branches of Lidl have had none of the blue pull along baskets, as they have done away with
them. This has resulted to more shoppers using the big trolleys, where they would previously have used the baskets, resulting in even more congestion instore. I have asked at both branches why the decision was made to get rid of the branches, and all
I got was a "don't know" and a shrug of the shoulders. Ridiculous thinking on the part of Lidl I think.

Thank goodness there are no other issues in the world eh...?  noooo:
