I was sent this by a friend on Reels. I wish I could send the original link but exporting from WhatsApp is a pain so I have transcribed it instead. I feel it's one of these things that really should be considered by every sentient being including those who have a faith but also those who have no faith in other words, everybody. Ed. Query: if you were the devil how would you keep people...

The day I lost my wallet
As it is Sunday and technically a day off I don't feel like writing much but knowing me once I start I carry on so let's see what happens. To the Cheddar car boot market which is a motley collection of people selling unwanted items, children's clothes that have been growing out of, old DVDs, bric a bac items of all descriptions, power tools, pink children's toys, almost anything you can think...

The problem is that the chargeable battery torch is so small that it only lasts about 15 minutes so if you want to go on a ramble at night you'd be well advised not to...
Interview vs Interogation
I am sick of seeing interviewees on television scarcely being allowed to finish a sentence before the person who is doing the interview interrupts them and in many cases contradicts them.

There is no indication of lack of parity....
