According to the renowned Pinko Paper, Liz TRUSS is to relax immigration rules for those sectors which might rather do better with a few Johnny Fs thrown into the mix. As a Johnny F myself, I was delighted to read that such relaxations would include less strict requirements to have mastered the mother tongue of this great nation before being granted stay - but - not for a self-interested motivation, but rather because a good deal of those one meets here do seem to be allergic to the concept of the past participle.


So, of the following options, regarding the policy proposal described, as well as others such as reducing the highest marginal income tax rate, which would you choose?


truss /trʌs/:


1. a framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting a roof, bridge, or other structure.


OR:


2. a surgical appliance worn to support a hernia, typically a padded belt.


OR:


3. tie up the wings and legs of (a chicken or other bird) before cooking. [Other bird presumably being the United Kingdom in this instance]

    • I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards 
    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
