I may have missed that but would be interested. Shall we start a new thread? What shall we call it?
So I put that into Google Translate. It came back as:
A mix of English and EastEnder. Please contact Steve in Portsmouth for further info.

LEDs are narrowband. They have to be turned up to blinding because they have no substance. They should be banned before people die on the roads.
Mr. Weldon, I really ought to be crawling into my pit right now. But something was nagging me about your recent Boudoir photograph, and you a happily married Man:
You haven't been hanging around with Notorious "The Sun" Astrologer "Mystic Meg" have you? Looks like her gaff. 😕
I tell you, she doesn't suit daylight. 😱

My oldest kid teaches swim lessons for fairly well off families.
Pool maintenance after the pandemic has slacked a bit. Also there has been a chlorine shortage.
His company rents some pool at a hotel for class. He mentioned that they had water quality issues like the filter that clears out the human skin was not working which makes it harder to see in the pool.
He also has had work cancelled because they test the water and find a lack of proper chemicals.
I might wait to go swimming for a bit.

4 foot fluorescent lamp is 2300 lumen new, 2100 or lower after a year.
The equivalent LED lamps barely are in the 1800 to 2000 lumen range, and drop down to 1500 after a year.
So we all were groping in the dark.
Then some people got brighter units, and some simply put two bulbs in place of the tube.
But the bulbs are point source, dazzling in a kitchen.
Oh well...
I use fluorescent, they last years, no surprises with sudden failures.
It seems the power supplies in LED tube fixtures fail a lot more than those in LED bulbs, also a gradual dimming issue.

The cockney speech roughly translates to : Light a match!
Spike Milligan had a conversation in one of his books, about
why Hitler was against the "front wheels"
Front wheel = front wheel skid = Yid (Yiddish speaker, Jew). Footnote said Cockney rhyming slang.
It also involved Preparation H...
I am going way off topic here, and inviting moderation.
My point is Cockney rhyming slang is difficult to understand unless you have been exposed to it.

That goes for other slang too...
We have festive dances here during the Navratri festival, with up to 100,000 people dancing the night away at some places.
It is also an occasion for young people to get together, and a mating display of sorts.
I know at least two couples who met, got to like each other at those venues and got married later.
I was new to this, and one relative saw me looking at a girl, and said 'staff'
Me - ?
He said we are responsible, she has come with us, we have to get her home safe, she is part of our group, don't try to attract her...I don't do that, but that long sentence was distilled to a single word.

Well in fairness to myself it was more like an 'inadvertent dyeing event' involving a few of my favorite T-shirts. That'll teach me to mix colors.
But hope springs eternal, and your keen understanding of the subject has inspired me to expand my knowledge, broaden my horizons, and... you get it. After much poring o'er the ancient scrolls I believe I've been able to translate some of the more obscure symbols:
