This is a small bag of chocolate coins, the type that appear every Christmas to overcharge the parents and vainly satisfy the kids. These are popular, these are just chocolate wrapped in gold foil, and these were stolen by the mouse!
To combat this menace I have taken obvious action. Food is hidden, bins removed or sealed, nothing left making it easy for him, and holes searched for. This however is not perfect. On my bookcase I
have a cup wrapped in paper which will soon wend its way to the birthday girl on the appropriate date. Inside that mug, just to keep it somewhere, was a bag of gold chocolate coins. On the shelf beneath were coins, fivepences, tenpences etc that I take into work to use in the till. Yesterday morning I came into the east wing and found coins on the floor alongside other detritus, all of which had been knocked from the shelf. Collecting them I noticed the gold coins had gone, the metal ones to hard on the mouses teeth I suspect, and no trace to be found.
Eventually I found the hole where he had taken them, only one item of gold paper to be seen, alongside a scouring pad, backed by foam, that disappeared the other day from the sink. Last night, having moved heavy items of furniture, stacked with books, I shoved the scourer into the hole in a vain effort to seal it, it had been pushed aside this morning, and decided to buy some 'wire wool' as I have heard this deters them as their teeth don't like it. Now I have some of this steel wool I will spend tomorrow morning filling holes with it and see how mouse likes that. I may even find the rest of the golden paper. The cheek of the brute!
The media, run by men, are making a big deal of Carrie Gracie's publicity stunt of the last few days regarding men being paid higher salaries than she was. She has 'stepped down' as the BBC China correspondent to return to a sea on the BBC newsdesk. This she did as a complaint regarding BBC men being paid more than women.
She forgot to mention how much she is paid (just under £150,000 I suspect) and she does not lose any of this by moving to another department. She does however get to spend more time with her family which she claims to have missed though taking a job 5000 miles from home would probably lead to that happening I suspect, and now she is better of than 90% of the population and grumbling about it not being fair.
The phrase 'aye right' goes through my head.
Why is it that the best paid women, doing fewer hours than most, grumble about a 'gender gap?'
I have never had a job where I got paid more than the women! Secretaries simply by being secretaries get paid far more than men who have to work. Office girls are well paid unlike men working on the job and yet grumble about cash. Media stars have an inbuilt right to more money than anyone else but there appears to be no reason for this. If you don't like the conditions, which you signed up to, do what a man has to do and find another job. Then we will see if anyone thinks you are worth what you think you are worth.
Oh and as you are paid a s a 'company' I suspect you pay little tax on this money.

Theresa has done it again. She may it clear a shuffle of her cabinet was under way to prove she was in charge and she would get her personal manifesto put into action. She failed. Her Health Secretary refused to move and added another bit to his kingdom, the Education secretary refused the poisoned chalice of the DWP (where sick and unemployed and put to death) and this was later filled by another hard hearted type much loved by 'Daily Mail' readers and lots of nobody's took positions nobody cares about (including our Boris fan MP). In short it was an abject failure.
The press, especially the ones that hate immigrants, and announcing a 'diverse' cabinet as if they cared while they really want a white, right wing, male cabinet to satisfy their ideas of superiority. All this while pretending to support the women while striving to have her removed.
I begin to feel sorry for the hard hearted bint.

I remember when young ladies working as secretaries were paid more than their dads on the shop floor...but that was when we still had shop floors...
Fly, People would not know what a shop floor was today.
