94% in Emlyn. The complete silence was compelling. Birds stood on the paths looking bemused. For the techies, 1 8,000th of a second, F32 at ISO. A Nikkor 200 F1:4 I bought 37 years ago.

Dismayed to see the TivySide Advertiser @tivyside covered with four pages of #ReformUK propaganda. I doubt that I will buy a copy again. All their @SeneddWales candidates were selected by a team of white English men. How representative!

Confusing canvassers since 2005, this is the final survey of roadside election posters before the Senedd elections. Sir Gar – Emlyn to Y Polyn Plaid 23 Labour 0 Conservatives 0 Lib Dems 0 Reform 0 Again, by some way the highest number of Plaid posters ever recorded.

I appreciate that this #water burst might be a difficult task, but we do need to have an idea about how much water we need to buy in. Loos might need to be flushed, things might need to be washed and wide-eyed pets need a brimming tray. @dwrcymru

Cynicism redefined at @Tesco this afternoon [4]. Mislabeled, misled. Do their staff honestly expect to fob people with a no-returns policy for missold and untouched goods? I left it there, because I could not stand being associated with such behaviour. Recipt is ready to post.

Cynicism redefined at @Tesco this afternoon [3]. I was then told that I could not have a refund on the Oral-b Pro 3 toothbrush because Tesco has a no returns policy. There I was inside the store with an untouched package. A return? I left it behind.

Cynicism redefined at @Tesco this afternoon [2]. I asked why the discount not apply. On that model. It was the only version where it did not. It can't be helped, even though the labelling was so unclear and the poromotion so upfront.

Cynicism redefined at @Tesco this afternoon [1]. I bought a Oral-b Pro 3 toothbrush because it was (Clubcard price) reduced from £100 to £45. I was made to pay in full, because the one I selected was hidden away as the only one without a discount.
