Don't know that one.
In the first 'Jaws' film, the mayor was talking to Brody in front of a advertising bill board of a girl surfing. A local had felt penned her screaming 'help, shark', & added a sharks fin on the poster.
The Mayor saw that & said, 'Brody, find out whose responsible & hang them up by their buster browns!.'
 
Pretty brutal typhoon here. First big one since 2018 (plenty of small ones). 150kmh winds and still at least 3 hours before it’s at its nearest (about 40km away). I’m reasonably sheltered but taking nothing for granted. Some low lying areas already under water, couldn’t be worse timing with a spring tide. Going to be an interesting night for me.
 
Fake Homeless beggar gangs. Seems to be hitting all the big Cities now. They turn up in the gang leaders smart cars, Mercedes etc. They have a rucksack, a costa coffee type cup for collections. They put a rug or sheet over their bodies. And have a cardboard sign saying, I'm hungry, God Bless You. Or I'm Homeless and hungry. Etc. Most are Romanian, Albanian or Pakistani. They target tourists and locals. The signs are a giveaway as they are the same for that gang in that City. They are not homeless, they are not hungry. With this fake begging, they are doing very well, thank you. One was observed by a secret camera above a shop, and got over 200 people donating into the cup, that was emptied every now and again with money going into the rucksack pockets. So in 6 hours, the average donation is £1, that's £200 a day, tax free, and almost definitely on housing and unemployment benefits. It also deprives the genuine homeless of money.

Didn’t end up as bad as the 2018 one. I’d rate it top 5 in the 12 years I’ve been here. We average 3 per year. Still not to be underestimated especially with non stop rain for 19 hours so far and counting.
 
The price of Nestle Coffee Mate. Less than a year ago it was on sale in kilogram drums for £4.50. Then the 'large' size was changed from 1 kilo to 800g and the price rose to £5 and then £5.50. Recently the 800g size has been discontinued and now the largest size available is 550g, and guess what - the price for that is £4.85 at Iceland, 35p more than a 1kilo drum was less than a year ago. Nice work if you can get it!
