Virgin Atlantic just cancelled my flights. Travel plans in disarray.

Interesting piece on the results of Finland's experiment of the effect of Universal Basic Income that showed that it led to a "small increase in employment, significantly boosted multiple measures of the recipients’ well-being, and reinforced positive individual and societal feedback loops."

It's really annoying that so many US companies won't accept orders from overseas even if they are for delivery to US addresses.
The one that MrsG just tried to order stuff for her mother on, first wouldn't let her checkout after geo-locating our IP to the UK.
Using my VPN fixed that until it then refused the order because her PayPal account wasn't created in the USA. And don't even think about trying to use a non USA credit card.
Grrr!
If you are looking to avoid the usual suspects this #BlackFriday and want to support the independents today and for Christmas then take a look at this site.
Businesses that have been set up by students and ex-students of Welsh University.

This is disagraceful.
@openrightsgroup regularly uses FoI to establish what Government is doing. If true, the Government is deliberately ignoring the first basic rule, which is to treat all requests on their merits, and to ignore who made the request.

We can skip the Year In Review stuff this year, thanks.
Is there such a thing as Supermarket Rage?
Every time I visit one I end up wanting to punch someone!

Shopping: Almost one in five shops in #Wales empty
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55000777
Called into Brecon today on the way back from getting some venison for Thanksgiving. As my old man would have said, 'now there's a town dying on its arse.'
So many shops already closed or closing down. Sign in the little independent electrical store - 'Sorry but due to the rising rents we've had to call it a day.'
The only store with a line outside, all the time we were there, was Greggs.

Breaking News: Right to scrap First Past the Post won for Welsh Councils https://e-activist.com/page/email?mid=34d1f4994d014865ae21a591d1f2e99a
Since the beginning of lockdown in March I've, on and off, been building a 1:35 scale Chinook HC MK1 kit. I have a lot of hours invested.
I was just putting the final coat of paint on before applying the transfers and I dropped it.
It immediately reverted to kit form.
Only this time most of the parts are not in the box but under the bloody furniture!
Excuse for a while whilst I stand in a corner and swear very loudly for a very long time!
