Moonie, there will be others who have tried to defraud HMRC with the furlough scheme but it's fairly easy for HMRC to catch them out

A herd of wild European bison is to be introduced into some woods near Canterbury:

They are the closest to steppe bison which have been extinct for thousands of years but once roamed this country.

Hmm, I still wouldnβt like to meet one at close quarters though
Just as well I'm no longer with BT. They are replacing the pole nearby today so I wouldn't be able to make or receive phone calls. I assume they notified their customers in advance. Only kbew about it as I saw a workman removing the overhead cable from the side of my house (he had knocked on the door but I didn't open the door as he was standing tight by the door - I spoke to him through the landing window as he was standing on top of a ladder).

I wonder if customers of BT had been informed El

I assume they would have been informed days ago as this would have been planned work.
The phone cable would have been so corroded which is why quite a number of years ago, internet access had ceased to be available here which is why I switched to Virgin

Just been watching this documentary on the BBC News channel - really quite fascinating:

Apparently the very first talkie shown in Cheltenham was the 1929 film "Bulldog Drummond"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6nyHEZaxn4
It's a film I've seen. It's rather stagy other than Ronald Colman who played Bulldog Drummond. He was British but moved to the States where he made the majority of his films. Films such as "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1937), "Lost Horizon", (1937) and "Talk of the Town" (1942).
In later years he made a radio series called "The Halls of Ivy" and then a televison series of the same name which ran from 1954 to 1955. A very gentle comedy series set in a college. Here's an episode of that:
His wife was played by Benita Hume who was his wife in real life. The housekeeper was played by Mary Wickes (years later she was in the Father Dowling Mysteries and the Sister Act films).
I do remember watching some of the episodes on television many years ago. Pleasant though from a different age.
Evening all.
Thank you everyone for your good wishes. Itβs nice to be back.
Glad to see you are all well and staying safe
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros and Moonie.
