No - she wouldn't let them go into the loft (perhaps they didn't have search warrants, or she "convinced" them that there was nothing up there). Anyway, they came back later ...
PS The border posts do not have machine-gun towers. Instead, they are equipped with a good supply of rugby balls, pelting of the English by the guards for (mind you, they can only afford little ones: https://tinyurl.com/y4rw6pph).
I think so: Tower colliery closed in 2008 and Aberpergwyn in 2015, though coal stocks from the latter are still available. However there is open-cast mining at Cwmbargoed and I have actually seen coal trains running through Queen Street station.
However I fear we must revert to the Straight and Narrow otherwise we shall be admomished by Other Dragons aka Hosts.
Took me a while to figure out who did what to whom. But then, I'm old and slow. WaPo heading this morning:
Mother of unarmed man killed by Baltimore County police officer files federal suit
A few years ago I was pulled over by a grumpy cop. I was not packing heat. I was on my way to church to play a New Year's Day service. Reason for pull-over was my license plate sticker was ONE DAY past legal. Expired 12/31/ (I forget the year). I was told to "keep both hands on the steering wheel", and was questioned (he wasn't kidding) about
driving around after an all night party. He thought the church story was a lie and told me he COULD take me to jail. Etc, Etc. I was given a hefty fine & had to make a court appearance.
From BBC website: Ministers striving to avoid blanket rules.
Now this is ridiculous. How do they know that it's Ministers who are trying to avoid the rules - it's an unwarranted slur against Nonconformists. What about Vicars, Bishops, Rabbis and Imams, eh?
Anyway, we don't use blankets in our house, we have a duvet. But, if we did, I'd use those woolly ones with lots of tiny holes (they kept me very cosy as a child) and hang the rules.
And how does impeding a change to the key law help fans returning to the stadium? Does the proposed change to the law allow keys to lock the fans out? And shouldn't the law be directed more to the locksmiths rather than the keys?
Regarding fans in stadia: Are they the hand-held kind? With a Funeral Home ad on one side, and the instruction "Please leave this fan on your seat when you depart" ?
If the Yellowstone hot springs are made of the same stuff as the ones in Iceland, you really wouldn't want to cook anything in them.
As my dear, late Beloved put it, "it smells like a goat that's been eating curried asparagus". I'm not sure on what authority he based that description, but it seems about right.
Reminds me of a headline in the Charlotte, North Carolina, Charlotte Observer.
The occasion was when the utterly despicable late (but not late enough), decidedly un-great senator from North Carolina, Jesse Helms, was slated to receive a heart valve transplant. "Jesse Helms to receive new heart valve," the headline read. Scanning the article, one learned that the heart valve would come from a pig and that Helms could live for an additional ten years after receiving the transplant.
I always thought the headline should read instead: "Pig to be sacrificed so that Jesse Helms can live for another ten years."

It's obvious - the phone emitted some barely detectable waves which interfered with the car's ignition system. Another reason to buy a model with diesel operation.

Ah! I've got it - the police who are authorised to climb ladders were staffing the new border posts, which presumably have machine-gun towers...

ISTM that the border posts would be quite effective, if staffed by Dragons, well-fed on good Welsh steam coal, if such is still to be had...

Wisconsin and Nebraska canceled
Thank God. They both voted for you-know-who in 2016.
(Yes, I know they meant football.)

Apparently they're talking about units of booze. Still weird though.
So, what unit is a policing unit? 750ml? 1 pint?
I imagine someone had great fun dreaming that one up, and getting the chocolate biscuit reference in.
A Dutch train has ended up on a whale sculpture, after going through the barriers. The pictures are quite incredible!
That was a whale of a pun.
Most of the comments here are better than the headlines I have seen. But I am not sure that there is a headline to do full justice to this story.
That's a scream.

RECORDING REVEALS WHO'S ANALYSIS OF PANDEMIC IN PRIVATE
At their age, they have a right to be concerned, but really? A recording?
