I've been round our village and although there are some potholes there's nothing as bad as some I've seen.
I've been following the Langer lane saga. On Saturday i went that way to miss road works which were peppered along the route I needed to drive.
The work had been started  --- and left - leaving a long stretch of road with raised iron works. Cars were zigzagging to miss them. My other concern was that at night there apparently isn't much lighting in place terrible!

Most of this countries woes can be attributed to the fact we no longer have our own manufacturing base.

The troubles with cargo ships in the Suez canal...the troubles with Russia are just part of why we are struggling. We no longer manufacture goods here for our own internal market, we have to rely too much on imports and that isn't good.
Once upon a time we and our products were the envy of the world, we exported far more than we imported safe in the knowledge it was top class merchandise, and what we did import was vital, when was the last time you shopped and picked a product with the British kite mark on?
We are now relying on cheap Eastern imports, most of which {especially electrical goods} are turning out to be cheaply made and dangerous the vast percentage of our gas and electric comes from abroad especially with electric we are pumping millions into a French electric company to build nuclear power stations here and very little building work is being done, one site I believe is 15 years in the making and is still far from complete, even the solar panel farms we erect in our fields are made abroad.
Even our national bus company {Stagecoach} is German owned, same with the water companies owned by foreign companies.

We need to go back to manufacturing our own goods and start showing the world we can still be a force to be reckoned with. The British brand has been diluted so many times over the past sixty odd years it's no longer recognisable.

Start producing BRITISH cars, white goods other electrical goods etc. stop relying on foreign imports, if it could be produced here don't import it.


Hopefully one day ----------

I don't care about tabloid news just as long as  the work carries on in the background  to get the compensation and clear their  names.

It's highlighted it hifimad, putting it into the drama gained peoples attention far more than newspapers would. As you say it was a fine production and certainly got me cross.
I signed the petition against Vennels, and hope that these innocent people are given the compensation they are owed!!
Of course the cost of stamps may well go up  :P ;D

We are promised a very cold ARTIC few days, which will notch the heating up.
personally I can't with cold weather because of Asthma so walk round outside with a mask on.
My recovered hedgehogs in the shed are sleeping but I still need to go in there each day to put fresh water out etc in case any wake up.
Roll on summer - lets have a heat wave - oh noo maybe not a good idea as we will then be short of water  :))

New Tupton s a decent place to live, there's quite a lot going on in the community and there's a nature reserve which hosts a wealth of wildlife.
