Have you had your tyre valve caps stolen
Just noticed most of my tyre valve caps have gone so I'm letting everyone know there is a trend on at the moment with kids stealing metal shiny valve caps off tyres to put on their bikes. Please be aware if your child has new caps on their bike and you have not paid for them they are possibly stolen. The photo shows what they may look like but they do come in different colours. This is an opportunistic theft and can happen anywhere your car is parked. So be aware if you see new caps on your kids bike ask questions because these caps are not cheap to replace.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

Longer prescriptions are here
Some people with stable, long-term health conditions may be able to get prescriptions that last up to 12 months.
