Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-8-2022 — Missouri

10th August, 2022.

You know, there’s an on-going Cost-of-Living Crisis.

You know it, I know it, and Captain Archer’s beagle knows it.

And frankly?   Radio 4’s Today program’s not shut up about it!

They have had at least one passionate speaker on.   Making the very good point that leadership contender, Liz Truss, is planning on tax cuts if she wins: which would be useless to pensioners and Universal Credit claimants, who don’t pay tax.

The one earlier piece that caught my eye?

Was someone from Ofgem, the energy regulator: who suggested a social tariff — a cheaper price place for those of us on low incomes — would be a bloody useful idea.

My words, there … but you get the point.

Personally, I like the idea.

I hope the regulator introduces and enforces one.   Or that Parliament introduces a law to make it compulsory.

Because I don’t see the energy industry introducing it: not as things stand.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th February, 2018.

26th February, 2018.

Hmmm … 

Did anyone else see this piece go past, on the news?

Four people have been in an explosion above a shop: in Hinkley Road in Leicester.

Quite why that explosion happened?

I don’t know.

But, just before watching another episode of Mr Robot, it was something that grabbed my attention.

I can only hope the cause is found, and found quickly.

That might well be the only consolation for the families of those killed.

The Brentwood Gazette’s Weekly Teaser — 13-1-2016: Cash And Other Albums

Right: I’m vaguely rushing, at the mo: I’ve only a while before I head back to work, after a few days off.

Can’t say I’m THAT unhappy.

It means I can be doing SOMETHING with my day, apart from sitting around.

Although whether I’ll be saying that at The end of a long shift … ?

Is something I couldn’t tell you.

The Daily Teaser — 4-12-2014

Well, THAT boosted my confidence … !

You know, I’ve been working, don’t you … ?   At my local KFC restaurant.

And last night … ?   Last night was a nice, busy evening: with a damn fine bunch of workers, and plenty of incoming customers.

One of whom quietly asked me if I could drive.

I could only politely say that I didn’t.

To which SHE replied, “That’s a shame, I’d’ve given you a job,” … !

OK, I didn’t get a job that needed me to drive.   OK, I didn’t get the chance to ask what sort of job she was offering, and shed tottered off with her bargain bucket, before I got the chance to give her my number and say “Phone me, if you’ve got anything else.”

But, LORDY, that did my confidence some good!
