It gets worse, they are turning in the Blackpool Illuninations today!
Mrs Steveās sister (my sister in law) has done the weekly shop today and sent this through this photo to the Family Whatsapp group!
Christmas has very much āarrivedā in Sainsburyās stores
Annoyingly, whilst doing this I noticed someone has hit and scraped the front of my car, leaving an absolute mess of the front bumper. Carās so dirty I didnāt notice until now. Must have happened in the last week though as I gave it a good once over post-festival on Monday, and it wasnāt there then!
Time to go through a weeks worth of dashcam parking footage and see if I can find the culpritā¦
I think it might be my bossā truck 
Tomorrow morning might be interestingā¦
Well, bosses truck had matching marks. But the whole truck is covered in marks/ dents etc. So hard to tell.
Our yard is so tight it would make sense though.
Thatās what he typed 
Have you had the conversation yet?
Yes, heās not entirely convinced it was his truck. And tbh, Iām not sure if I am now.
Itās just bizarre. It could only have happened at work or within a few hours when I was parked outside my house on Sunday. Every other time Iāve parked, itās been nose in with no way to hit the front of my car.
Flew norwegian.
Firstly, landed so hard that it actually physically hurt, like my back aches.
Secondly, Someone in baggage handling has gone through my bag and stole my Vans.
So I now have to spend the evening buying new shoes.

Shoes covered by the airline?
Sadly, if you donāt notice until you are outside the baggage hall (which is generally the case with a case - pardon the pun), the airlines wonāt look at any claim.
I had a couple of events with a zipped cases (Travel Pro, so good brand), where the zip had been popped at the bottom & items removed. The zip had been almost āput backā so no easily visible signs of disturbance.
After the second one, I went to a hard sided, lockable, case.
Spoke to Norwegian, need to submit a receipt and theyll refund
Looking through Amazon for travel stuff, I saw that you can now easily buy the keys which open the āTSAā type combi locks. This will make it easier for the scrotes to enter our cases.
Yeah Iāve never really trusted those locks.
I just have a webbing style strap that wraps and ties around the case.
Easy to cut off/untie if anyone who should needs to open and inspect but would take long enough or be obvious enough to deter anyone who shouldnāt.
Also means should the zip fail while itās thrown about thereās something else to hold it closed

Thankfully, we have no obligation to use such locks! You can use a normal padlock if you like. But be prepared for it to be cut off if they really want to check your bagā¦
The easiest solution is a bunch of cable ties. Itās enough of a deterrent for someone whoās just snooping. Reduces the risk of the bag coming undone on its own. And if security need to check your bag, they can easily cut them off, and then put new ones on once theyāre done!
This probably doesnāt help in Alexās situation though, as it was likely someone who had free access to all the bags anyway 
Gov alert testing happening when we got a training camp planned for 100+ pers
On the way back from Peru I used 3 locks; 2 padlocks with keys and a TSA code lock that had been left behind by a former manager.
Iām not sure whether it happened in Huanchaco, Lima or Bogota, but the TSA lock had been opened using the code whilst the key-based locks were left alone. Luckily, nothing was missing as they had only been able to access the pocket where I stored my wash kit.
Donāt k ow what youāre worried about, theyād an Airshow at Duxford that day
