I was once detained because of a similar address and name to a suspect. Despite being a teenager and not 'in his late 50s'. The cop who what we'd now call 'dearrested*' me was scathing about the IQ of the constable making the detention
*wasn't called arresting back then, you were detained till officially told 'you are under arrest', this distinction is important to make for future travel plans
I remember reading about this in the 80s, at school. The fly ash from some forms of coal burning is so radioactive it would set off alarms at nuclear power stations. it was at this time I stopped listening to 'nuclear power==bad' stories. Things like this feckup don't help the rest of the public trust nuclear.
Icon: how most of the great unwashed see nuclear power, still :(
There seems to be a nest of scammers in that town, maybe just one who is prolific, but bournemouth seems to be the source of a hugely disproportionate number of phone scams. some piece of crap took my 90 year old mother for 165 quid for (get this) a device to prevent scam phonecalls... a device that turned up with RJ11 connectors, thus utterly unusable in the UK. Had to threaten to drive down there and break the door in to get a refund. (yes really).
I bet this turns out to be the same scamming bastage
A lot of NHS community type stuff (such as a diabetes group I am signed up for on behalf of my mother) is now done on a voluntary or semi voluntary basis. About 2 or 3 times a year i get one where the lady running it has used CC instead of BCC, and she has to report herself each time. You may be inclined to blame the user, but she's an elderly volunteer. I blame the organization that hasn't provided her with foolproof tools to do the job.
