I've been poor - I was divorced & a single Mum in the 1970s & at times I felt as though I was on the bones of my arse - but I would never have stooped so low as to steal from charity. Lowest of the low in my opinion. -
I just couldn't believe what I was seeing - even one bag would have been bad enough - especially from a charity shop - but she had at least 5! She seemed very practised & professional about it too so probably made a good living out of it. I was so angry!😠

I would be first in the queue with my bag of squashed tomatoes at the ready! It was in The heart Foundation charity shop - it would have served her right if she'd had a heart attack as she legged it down the road - instant karma!
-
I know these things happen - even in charity shops, but this was the first time I've actually seen it & she was so bloody blatant about it! Staff didn't spot her but I did cos she was next to me. It wasn't as though she looked poor - tarty but expensive clothes - caked in orange make-up & slug eyebrows.....you get the picture......

I witnessed something today & it's REALLY REALLY bugging me! 🤬I was having a mooch around a charity shop in Brighouse when I noticed a very well-dressed woman standing next to me, looking at a shelf neatly filled with handbags etc. She'd picked up a few rucksack-type bags - 2 in each hand - & then casually strolled around the shop. She came back to the shelves with all the bags on, very quickly picked up another rucksack & hurriedly left the shop without paying for any of them!. She nicked at LEAST 5 bags - she certainly didn't look as though she needed the money, so without even thinking about it I quickly grassed her up to one of the staff. The shop assistant ran to the door, but the woman was well away. We could see her in the distance - not exactly running, but she was legging it down the road like she'd been at the marching powder. Bet these bags are all priced up & on Ebay or Vinted by now! If it had been a little old lady looking as though she didn't have 2 pennies to rub together I might have looked the other way, but this woman certainly didn't look poor by any means! How can anyone stoop so low as to steal from charity? Lowest of the low in my opinion! Sorry about the rant but I just HAD to let off some steam!😠

The Inspection on BBCIplayer is a film well worth watching - 90 mins long & true story, based on the experiences of a young, gay black guy who joins the US Marines after being homeless & estranged from his mother. You certainly need to be tough to make it through boot camp!

I binged-watched The Secret Agent on ITVX last night. It's an unusual 4 part period drama with an excellent cast & well worth watching, 👍
-
The Ritz is a total mess inside - beyond belief! I was in there a couple of years ago & it was bad enough then - overpowering smell of damp & mould - the floor would need ripping up too. It had been burgled - boiler/copper piping/wiring/lighting & anything else of value all ripped out. No lights at all - pitch dark - trip hazards everywhere & we were shown around by torchlight. Sadly I think the whole building is only fit for demolition - I posted a few photos on here & it will be in a much worse condition by now.😥 I live nearby & feel sad every time I pass The Ritz - had some good times there.
-
Think I have to agree with Mick on this one
-
The Intruder is worth a watch. It's an award-winning 4 part psychological drama, available on BBCIplayer - all about the au-pair from Hell. In French with easy-to-read subtitles - another 👍from me!
-
It certainly is - it's now on my ever-growing watch list! Thanks for that one👍
-
Thanks for this - sounds right up my street! Just added it to my ever-growing list to watch.....

You're right Jaco - it was about Emmett Till. Such a sad story - why can't we all just live & let live peacefully? I always say that when we were teenagers watching all the soul bands back in the 1960s, none of us realised just how badly they were treated in the States. We looked upon them as our heroes! No surprise that some decided to settle here in the UK.
-
I've just watched a film called Till on BBCIplayer. It's a harrowing true story about a young black boy in 1950s America who was beaten to death for paying a compliment to a white woman & his mother's ensuing fight for justice for her son. It's a very sad story - hard to watch - but well worth it.

"Binged watched it last week, first impressions were so so as I thought the supermarket scene was well overplayed ." You're right - the supermarket scene really was very overplayed! If it had been a serious drama then I would have been critical too, but I just watched it all in the spirit I think it was intended - a light-hearted drama - slightly tongue-in-cheek but with a point to make as well. If the programme had been a serious documentary about the menopause how many people would have watched it? I doubt I would...........

I'm halfway through binge watching BBC1's Riot Women - I absolutely love it! Is anyone else watching it? It gets a massive 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍from me!

Everyone seemed to have a great time at The Harold Club last night! The Soul Brew DJs - plus guest DJ Julian Bentley - played some storming tunes that kept the dance floor busy all night. Thanks & well done guys! I've heard some really nice feedback, both last night & also today.👍 Here's just one of the compliments with regard to last night from one of our Harold regulars............"Just had the pleasure of witnessing probably the best set ever at the Harold club , Julian Bentley DJ extraordinaire played Torch set which transported me back to the Torch as a 16 year old , thank you sir 👏🏻" Thanks for that Chris - always good to get nice feedback! Thanks too to all who came to support us at The Harold - as always - you are all very much appreciated! Hope you will be able to join us next month on Friday 21st Nov, when ex-Bradford lad Chris Wormald will be making the trip over from Cleethorpes to join us for a guest spot on the Soul Brew decks.🙂
