Bill Would Make Sasquatch Washington’s Official State Cryptid

"Senate Bill 5615 revives a measure first introduced in 2017 by Sen. Ann Rivers (R-Vancouver etc.). That bill, SB 5816, was “reintroduced and retained in present status” a few times, but never made it out of committee. That doesn’t mean it lacked support, necessarily; it was supposed to be taken up at a public hearing on February 2, 2018, but only after diligently scanning more than 40 minutes’ worth of transcript did I learn that the matter was tabled because the primary witness couldn’t make it:

I have sad news[, the committee chair said]. The sighting of a Sasquatch is not true. The young student who is proposing that—Senator Rivers said that person couldn’t make it up here today, so we’re going to try to do that at a later date. So there is no Sasquatch today.

Nor was there any Sasquatch for the rest of that session, so far as I can tell. But Sen. Rivers is trying again this year"
 

The 69-year-old, who lives near the store, then went to get his drink from a coffee machine but it was not working so he tried two other machines, but they were not working either.

Then he said a staff member approached him and accused him of trying to take a free coffee.

Mr Hope said he was furious. He added: "She said to me 'it's Waitrose policy to question customers we believe are abusing the system'.

"At that point the coffee machine behind me started working again.

And what were the black spots? :confused::confused::confused:
 

It's attracted 115 comments, so far!

LOL Makes a mockery of the Brighton's claim to being a 'City', when its main newspaper publishes such a trivial story as 'news'...

Jesus Wept Argus. Get a proper news editor. This isn't news and you've wasted a graduate's time and money writing this nonsense.

I read this thinking there must be something outrageous about Waitrose, but no, just some fool throwing a tantrum over a drink. How this ever made it into the paper beggars belief.

I want to see this turned into a movie.

"In a world torn apart by war and strife, a man vows he will never shop at Waitrose again"

I can't be the only one who has noticed a marked decline in the reporting (and editing) standards in the Argus (which were never that high anyway) since the move from Hollingbury to Central Brighton. Perhaps the proximity of several pubs within walking distance of the new Argus offices have something to do with it.

:D :D
 
Surely the place couldn’t get any crazier, could it?



And on reflection I think Waitrose Man was trying to defraud them out of a cup of coffee.

At that point the coffee machine behind me started working again.

Yes of course it was broken when you tried it before.
