This very old black and white photo captures a street scene featuring two individuals standing in front of a shop with a unique, hand-painted sign detailing its "Business Hours."

The sign humorously describes erratic opening and closing times, stating, "OPEN MOST DAYS ABOUT 11 OR 12 AS EARLY AS 9 BUT SOMETIMES AS LATE AS 2 OR 3. WE CLOSE AT 5:30 OR 6 POSSIBLY AT 4 OR 5 MABEY AS LATE AS 10 OR 11... SOMEDAYS WE ARE NOT HERE AT ALL."

It further adds, "LATELY IVE BEEN HERE JUST ABOUT ALL THE TIME EXEPT WHEN IM SOMEPLACE ELSE BUT WE SHOULD BE HERE THEN TOO."

The two individuals appear to be conversing, with one sporting a long white beard and the other wearing a cap and holding something d7c056d22580e8bb.jpg HOW TO SAVE WATER AT HOME 

Install a rain butt to collect rainwater to use in the garden. 

Fix a leaking toilet – leaky loos can waste 200-400 litres a day. 

Use water from the kitchen to water your plants. 

Avoid watering your lawn – brown grass will grow back healthy.

Turn off the taps when brushing teeth or shaving. 

Take shorter showers. 

Delete old emails and pictures as data centres require vast amounts of water to cool their systems. 79757c4ed1661870.jpg Painting looking slightly down on a UK townscape with terraced houses and gardens under a sky in which swifts-small birds, swoop 24cbaf0c58db1e2c.jpg Palestine Action as a terrorist group

Sir, The home secretary proposed to ban Palestine Action on the ground of "unacceptable criminal damage" after they infiltrated RAF Brize Norton ("Palestine Action's rise from ashes of Corbynism to public enemy No 1", Aug 9). In the 1980s when I was UK commander of the RAF Greenham Common cruise missile base, I had a £250,000 annual budget to repair damage done by peace protesters to the perimeter fence. We had a strong Ministry of Defence police presence to stop intruders, often in a rather Benny Hill fashion. The intruders were left in no doubt that if they tried to infiltrate the secure storage area with its 96 nuclear warheads, they would be shot by US air force military police, who were a mean crowd. There were thousands of such protesters "threatening" the base, but their freedom of speech was always respected and I never heard anyone in Whitehall or the Pentagon suggest that they should be classed as terrorists.
