Why are people reluctant to adopt black cats?

Hi

I volunteer at a couple of cat shelters. At the moment they have an abundance of black kittens & cats waiting to be adopted. My family have nearly always had black or black and white cats so I really can't understand why it is that the black cats get overlooked so often. Can anyone properly explain why this happens?

Any one else suffering with transfer jealousy?

Seeing all the announcements of players joining other teams is definitely causing me a little frustration and feeling a little left out. Obviously Bunny signing was the big high, Beth at the time seemed a little superfluous, but now great business if we are getting the reported money for Kerolin. Niamh was the necessary signing. Currently hoping that Tara O'Hanlon stays fit and provides some additional cover. Not sure what will happen with Risa Shimizu, whether she will be added to the squad or another loan. Anyone else suffering?

Slate roof, no felt

Hello, am in the process of getting some quotes for panels plus battery. My house is a 1930s semi detached. Other than maintenance, I'm sure nothing major has been done to the roof since built. One installer wouldn't provide a quote as the roof has no roof felt with the tiles direct on the battons / joists. A second has said I will need to sign a waiver before they would attempt to install. Has anyone else with the same lack of roof felt and slate tiles had solar installed and did it cause any issues? Thanks

Where to keep shares which is fee free

Hi, I have a small number of shares (350 HSBC, 100 SSE and 510 BT) which I just keep for the odd dividend payment. These are in a Hargreaves Landsdown account which used to be fee free but have now started charging me each month to hold the shares for me. I've already maxed out my ISA allowance this year. Can anyone recommend a company to transfer these shares to which won't charge any on going monthly fees for them to just sit there and get the odd dividend? Thank you

Old Norwich Union With Profits life insurance policy : Any idea of final bonus amount being paid.

Hi, I have the above mentioned policy due to mature in a few years. When I first took out the policy way back in 1989 they used to provide details of the additional final bonus they were paying out on maturing policies. Something along the lines of £x bonus for each £1000 of life insurance value. They stopped doing that sometime in the 1990s if I remember correctly. I only pay £20 a month so not got loads of money in it, but am curious to see if anyone knows the value of the final bonuses they've been paying out in recent years and have been unsuccessful with my Google searches. Does anyone have any details? Thanks

£500k for Niamh Charles, good value or not?

Just seen a story quoting £500k as the cost for City to sign her from Chelsea. No idea how accurate it is, but seems a little steep considering she only has a year left on her contract. Am I just behind the times for women's transfer fees now a days?

Unhappy with FA cup final after 2 super league matches on pitch today.

I may be wrong, but fear that the match tomorrow will show evidence of the sponsor logos and pitch markings from today's super league matches. 100% would not have happened before the men's cup final. I accept the cup final had to be this weekend with the European final last weekend, but don't understand the scheduling of it being after the rugby games.

Not sure if their defeat today helps or hinders us with their games in hands. Their next match against Brighton was always the one I was hoping there would be a slip up. I fear the defeat today may add extra fight to that game for Arsenal.
