This is an interesting article on the ONS and data quality

ONS may have ‘lost’ a million workers from job figures since pandemic | Office for National Statistics | The Guardian

Figures on unemployment and economic inactivity might be inaccurate due to sampling issues.

Good morning, wishing everyone on here, Regulars and Occasionals, a peaceful Christmas. However you celebrate it, whether it’s a time of joy, faith or contemplation, or just something to get through, good wishes to all 🎄

The same to you too @Saucery and to everyone else

Thank you @Saucery. Hope everyone has a wonderful (non political) Christmas. 🎅🎄

Happy Christmas & Hanukkah Eves!

Best wishes to you too @Saucery

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas 🎄

Seasons greetings to all 🙏

Merry Christmas to you all 🎄

I hope however you're spending the next few days it's peaceful and happy. 🍹

Merry Christmas all! Bit of a weird one here. My (adult) DD is away at her dad’s and I have an old university friend coming tomorrow. Sadly her mum went into a term8nal decline a few days ago, so she’s sort of waiting for the call now. I’m aiming for quietly festive and nurturing. There’s always the possibility she won’t feel up to coming at the last so I may be cooking and eating the lunch all by myself.

That's sad @cardibach :(

Happy and peaceful Christmas 🎄 to all. Mine is just me and the DC, keeping it low key as DS is changing meds and that always takes a toll. He's not weaning off, he's doing crossover and hoping the new ones will help his intractable depression.

That is sad@cardibach. I hope your friend does turn up for some nurturing.

Happy Christmas everyone, I hope you all have a lovely, peaceful day.

We are visiting MIL but DS stayed home as he is working. First time without him which feels strange. He has a full fridge and freezer at his disposal and is meeting up with friends in the pub.

Somehow our own Christmas shop was a lot smaller this year.

I've just finished work this morning and now I'm off until January. Christmas is a time for ... binge watching Inspector Ricciardi.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone. This thread keeps me sane in troubling times so thank you all

For quite a few reasons, I find Christmas time quite tough but I soldier on through .
No alcohol this year. Just post gallbladder anxiety!

TV is looking a bit crap this year , annoyingly!

But will do Home Alone and The Snowman today. Gavin and Stacey tomorrow.

I hope you all have a peaceful Christmas. 🎄🎅

Nadolig Llawen to you all.

Just me and DH and probably next door's cat.

Very best wishes I hope you all have a happy & peaceful Christmas 🎄
i do hope those who are facing some challenges don’t find it to tough & find some solace 💐

Some Christmas flowers for all much love

Thanks. Same to you and everyone else. DH has broken his ankle and is in hospital. Christmas is cancelled. We still have to cook the giant turkey in the fridge

Oh no derxa sorry to hear that.

Do you have enough help on the farm whilst he's out of action?

Sorry to hear that @derxa , how long is he in for? Guess you will bring him some turkey.

Take care @Piggywaspushed , hope you find something to watch

I am so sorry, @Derxa, I hope he makes a good recovery and that you can have some cheer over New Year's.
