A watch worth a quarter of a million ...

... what's it made of, the melted down Holy Grail <laugh>

"Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma was robbed of his luxury watch by two assailants on Sunday.

The Mali international, 27, was with his wife outside a hotel in Cannes on the French Riviera when the mugging occurred at around 4am.

Bissouma was returning to his hotel when two hooded men attacked him with tear gas and took his watch worth 300,000 euros (£255,000) before fleeing, his lawyer Bastien Caire confirmed following media reports."

Decided to Google this. Part of the innovation behind the watch is how lightweight it is. Was designed for Nadal and has been credited to good form. Radical idea but don't wear a watch during a tennis match or is he scared he won't be home in time for tea? Isn't there time and everything on scoreboard anyway?
 
Martin Lewis has just been on TV talking about shopping on Amazon. He said there are three Amazon sites that they don't advertise where you can find bargains...Warehouse, Renew and Outlet.

Warehouse is returned items with damaged packaging, Renew is refurbished electronics with a 12 month warranty and Outlet is end of season over stocked goods.

These are the links if anyone is interested

I'm not putting it on the D Day thread because that should be for positive things only.

Remember that old joke about the French being more pleased to see us in 1944 than they are today?

How is it a clown world, that's how things are after Brexit and we'd do the same.

Having said that, the welcome to our veterans from the French has been absolutely heartwarming ...

... they really couldn't have done much more.
 
Any one else can't sleep?
Third night in a row I've woken up a 4 o'clock in the morning
No idea why, can't even blame being exited like a kid at Christmas about the appointment of our new head coach.
Might be the sun coming in, it's well light by then.
Maybe try a blackout roller blind, works for me.
