I'm a buyer for a wholesaler and import a lot of food. I'm having to discontinue most of my imported dairy products now as this additional charge makes it no longer worth it.
Tories, the anti-business party.
Montezuma's, Radek's Chocolate.
It was announced in Jan that she had surgery and was in hospital for a couple of weeks, and all of her public engagements were cancelled after that. She's likely just recovering but the Royal's silence on it is generating a lot of conspiracy theory fuel.
It has been photoshopped more than these agencies allow, and the reason people are interested is because there is a lot of speculation right now about where Kate Middleton actually is.
And trouble using a controller due to arthritis.

I mean, is it? It's pretty much just boomers using it regularly now.
Yeah I moved to bing a year ago, it genuinely is.
Painkillers are sold in supermarkets, what are you on about?
They had psychedelics in medieval times. Mushrooms, ergot, etc.
We're talking about why people like working with people face-to-face, so how is that not important? 😆 It's pretty much the only factor that matters to me in terms of wanting to work in the physical office or not.
Yeah we all are mate, neither of us have much choice in that 😆 Doesn't mean it doesn't attract wonderful people.
BBC News - Restrictions on new Bristol bars and clubs to be kept
The rules mean that a new licensing application within the designated area is presumed to be refused.
Obviously I do, some of them are close friends now. But being around 100 people I really like for 27 hours a week is really good for me. During the pandemic I only went into the physical office once a week and it made me realise how much I appreciate that kind of socialisation.
You shouldn't have pain just from sitting. Doing yoga or pilates or other strength exercises can stop this from happening.
Seriously, wtf is up with that subreddit. I got banned for saying maybe it's not ok to shoot people in hospitals.
Not far off, it's a worker co-op 😆
Depends on where you work. My colleagues are brilliant, I've made lifelong friends at my work place but then it's quite a radical work environment so attracts interesting people. I'd be gutted if I couldn't see them every week.
I have some sea salt flakes I use in whatever I'm cooking, if it's needed. Most things taste nicer with a bit of salt in.
Lots of gum (in the UK anyway) doesn't contain plastic now.
Nadia El-Nakla's parents are stuck in Gaza and her mother warns the family is running out of food.
The Fire Brigades Union have called the plans by the Avon Fire Authority "dangerous and irresponsible".

Who still has a rift in their family due to differing opinions over Covid?
My parents have always been left-wing hippies and entertained the odd conspiracy theory, but during the pandemic they got lost down YouTube rabbit holes and bought into Q-Anon and anti-vax ideas. They still don't believe Covid is real (even though they blatantly had it...).
We've just kind of agreed not to talk about it anymore, but they've steadily become more and more batshit and I think they believe I have been brainwashed.
Anyone else's familial relationships changed forever?
