I'm on a contract for working in an office. I was employed to do that, signed up to it. I am offered some remote working capacity, during Covid it was 100%! But whatever I get is not my primary working condition. If you intend to do

It's weird. The hosepipe ban has literally only just happened, and for a while they used to be almost yearly. I've definitely seen the park grass go this colour before - it certainly isn't the first time. I'm not disag
