The Financial Reporting Council is to investigate the audits of the Post Office carried out by Ernst and Young or EY as it is now known. Quite how damages payable in cash to the public will be identified I have no idea. 

Meanwhile HMG has declared that all the aggrieved postmasters will be paid damages due to them by the end of 2025. I do not believe them. I fear that Sir Alan Bates and company will have to sue HMG and possibly achieve the semblance of a just result by 2027. It's the lawyers who are to blame. They just love their vast fees and any policy which bypasses their fee-grabbing has to be opposed when HMG should accept that a broad brush approach, which pays out everybody quickly and, no doubt, some whose claim is questionable, is the right way to go.

Some readers may have noted that there is an engaging character appearing each morning on ITV's Good Morning Britain. He is Andi Peters, a remarkably handsome and well muscled black man with a flat six pack and chest and arms to match. Further, he likes a joke. This means that he daily putatively seduces thousands of women all over the country. I bet you did not know this.

Finally, I think some readers ought to know that when the Nazi party in Vienna before WWII raided the home of Sigmund Freud he wrote that "I wish I could tell you what a pleasure it has been to be visited by the Nazis". I quite understand his thinking and artistry. One should indeed say what one means. 

As in the comments, prepared by PR people who offer for CEO's the wording "I would like to mention how (say) the cheeseburger department achieved greater sales" but do not declare anything of that department's efforts. Of course had the wording been less circumlocutious it would have been "I praise the cheeseburger department for their efforts."
