When you are an asshole and an idiot at the same time and get treated like one - don't be that surprised, Liz. The Lettuce was your boss level monster, and you lost. And now it made you run away from reality again.
On the other hand, whenever you hear or see a headline of "(dog) attacked and maimed (someone)", the (dog) usually comes from a small select group of dog races. Or did you ever hear "Poodle killed baby"?
Yes, the main problem is the owners. But certain owners attract certain kinds of dog races, and it is not always a smart or healthy match.
We have a company like that here somewhere. When they have one job a year, they have to reduce hours, if they have two, they are doing OK, and if they have three, they have to work overtime like mad. Don't ask me what they are selling, though. It is big, runs on tracks, and fixes roads.
While it is a waste, it is necessary not to let things like that slip. They built something they did not have a permission for, as simple as that. Just like when you decide to expand your home with an annex without a permit.
They got permission to build a house based on plans A, and actually built a house based on plans B. And by the looks of it, we are not talking about the building being 5cm to wide in one direction (which had led to a tear down order here in one case), but quite a number of massive violations.
Nice try. I'll reserve this for after the meeting, or at least when I got a good (or more precisely bad) enough impression of them :-)
Seriously though, mayors and councillors aren’t really high enough in the pecking order to have special terms in the UK
Ah, OK. That could be the reason why I found nothing so far. I was just cautious, as British officials seem to be peculiar when it comes to ranks and titles. Better safe than sorry.
Be happy that your public TV is not only way above international standards, but also much cheaper. I actually would not mind to pay that in order to watch BBC.
As a tourist, I don't want to spend a few hours in the morning and evening just to get in and out of London. Getting in and out from Ealing already was a pain in the ..., getting even farther out has really no appeal. There are other places to visit in the UK.

All I can say is Go, Lettuce Go!
