Dead right Kev. We did some with Susan in as well so that Artemis can have images with four generations in the frame. I am lucky in that I have one from 1936......

NHS payroll errors have led to thousands of staff being referred to debt collectors, a BBC investigation has found. Referrals to bailiffs to collect overpaid wages have increased from 1,807 in 2020-21 to 2,683 in 2024-25, according to NHS data obtained by Freedom of Information requests. A number of NHS workers have told the BBC these referrals have left them upset, stressed and in some cases in debt. A spokesperson for NHS England said it had "immediately established a payroll improvement programme after hearing about these awful cases and the distress caused". Dr Tom Horne said the first time he found out he had been overpaid by the NHS was when a court summons came through his door. "They're not thinking about the human being on the end of that debt collection letter... trying to pay their bills, live their life and pay the mortgage," he said. The 42-year-old father of two, from Nottingham, said his experience with Sherwood Forest NHS Trust, which runs King's Mill Hospital in Sutton-in-Ashfield, had left him feeling stressed and angry. "By the time I left [the] trust, they'd repeatedly underpaid me. They then paid me a big chunk at once - I assumed it was correct. "Honestly, at that point I had no way of knowing," Horne added. He said he finally discovered there had been an error in his pay six months after he left the trust. "I received a debt collection letter and a county court date. I'd never had a court summons before. "It was scary at first, trying to work out what was going on," he added.

...The next movement of these key assets will be keenly watched, given many analysts regarded their arrival as being one of the final “puzzle pieces” needed for any US attack on Iran. Steffan Watkins, a researcher who tracks ships and aircraft using open source information, previously told BBC Verify: “If things play out the same way as Midnight Hammer [the codename for US attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June 2025] it will show the strike is imminent”.
