The Stay Safe Board / Re: Diary summary week ending 21st April 2024
« on: Yesterday at 16:41 »
It's all getting weirder here in England.  Today the weather started wet and windy, then calm and sunny, then we've just had a spell of strong winds and hailstones, and now brilliant sunshine.

AND tomorrow I'm having the second cataract removed - just hoping that all goes as well as the first removal a few weeks ago.  :-\  8)

AND - 16.49 we have hail again !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear, I'm getting a little sad, aren't I?  :-X

Oh, yes.  We have stickers for each year and have to attach them to the bin.

Very strange weather again.  We had lots of rain and high winds overnight, but this morning it looks quite nice - we'll see what happens.

£80 seems a very high charge for your compost bin collections.  We pay £36 per year - collections every fortnight except for 3 times over December/January.

Luckily have renewed my compost bin charge at £36.00 for the year.  No idea what the council tax will be!

As I understand it, the weather has had a lot to do with decreased production!

From Yahoo:

Climate change-related drought, heat, and wildfires across much of Mediterranean Europe, combined with war-related harvesting problems in northern and southern Israel, are behind rocketing prices and shortages of olive oil in Israeli stores, with an influx of fake products filling the vacuum.12 Mar 2024

England / Re: Explanation of BMD entry.
« on: Sunday 14 April 24 12:40 BST (UK)  »
Not sure whether this has been noticed on the "Entry Information" related to this particular 1929 query -

Possible late entry
Normally GRO Index page numbers are numeric, optionally followed by a letter. As this page number ('See D45') does not follow this format it is possible that it is a Late Entry. Late Entries mean that the registration of the event was delayed, e.g. parents did not attend the Register Office to record a birth but the birth was registered much later when the child was about to begin work, or an Inquest after a death prevented the immediate issuing of a death certificate. A Late Entry attempts to show a searcher where to look for the actual GRO reference. Unfortunately the format of such Late Entries is not standardised, but the usual pattern is a letter showing the Quarter of the Registration [March (M), June (J), September (S) or December (D)] followed by the last two digits of the year, thus giving the quarter and year when the Registration was entered into the GRO records. A reference that reads 'see J/75' would therefore indicate that the GRO registration and reference is probably to be found in the June Quarter of either 1875 or 1975 (depending on context).

As a FreeBMD transcriber - our instructions are to enter what we see.  We are not asked to interpret entries.
