This is most definitely a gift imo. There is no contract between the two parties Is that the legal definition of a gratuity, that it is between two contracting parties? (Genuine question, btw.) Tbh, I think it's probably the bloke's tenner anyway and he wrote the note himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Genuine question, btw.) I have no idea but I would imagine that something like that must come into it. There's no connection apart from geography between the two parties, they've never even met as far as we know. Surely a tip is a financial thank-you for services provided, no service is provided here (quite the opposite) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the next 10 years of my life sorted. Has it got long opening hours, would be great if they have as you need to get through 1.9 million types of beer a day to squeeze it into the imposed time frame. Is it in walking distance ? That would help a lot to try them all, any time saved is a winner. (Not including the churn of new / old beers or promotions) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Quote River Elan sightings of salmon and brown trout end 40-year-wait Young salmon have been spotted in a section of the River Elan in Powys for the first time in decades. Salmon and brown trout under the age of one were found in the water just downstream of Elan Village. It follows a three-year scheme to restore the ecology of 4.3 miles (7km) of the tributary downstream of the Elan Valley dams. The Wye and Usk Foundation, Welsh Water and Natural Resources Wales have been behind the work. "Finding juvenile salmon there is a sign that we are heading in the right direction. However, the job is only part done. We need to continue adding further amounts of gravel to complete what is already a very successful project and to continue to monitor the results." Completed in 1905, the dams cut off the natural source of riverbed gravels to the lower Elan while the river's existing gravels have steadily been washed away. This left the river lacking the sediments needed for aquatic life to thrive but over the last two years, 2,300 tonnes of new gravel has been introduced to the Elan. Initial surveys in 2017 showed a recovery of invertebrates in the newly gravelled areas and they were followed by sightings of adult salmon spawning in these areas last winter. Now the young fish have been recorded there for the first time since monitoring began in the early 1970s. There has also been a large increase in salmon numbers further downstream. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-45425642 That's right up under the dams where half Brum's water comes from. Go on little fishies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted September 12, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2018 This article on the BBC. It's nothing special, just an article about George Weah appearing in a friendly for Liberia at the age of 51, despite now being the President of Liberia. What cheers me up is at the end there is a picture of the teams lining the tunnel, and the caption underneath reads Quote George Weah is the only serving world leader to have scored in three competitive fixtures against Gillingham 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
