That article is doing the rounds, they just change the location.

Went to town this morning for a few things {as it had stopped raining} we got as far as Penmore and the heavens opened so went home. Tried again and got there at 10:58 stayed for an hour, by then it very warm and the sun was out, got back to the car at 11:00 and had to pay £3:70 for the privilege.

So it looks like Ukraine is fighting Putin on his own turf.

The cost of the lost bombers runs into the millions yet European countries are still paying millions to Russia for gas, there's no wonder he can keep his war machine going it's because were paying for it.
We are paying towards Russian gas supplies yet in our own country our government is paying billions to wind farms NOT to produce electricity it's madness.

Sorry to say but bad language is the norm, and has been for some quite considerable time. You just can't get away from it, it's on the media on public transport and even in the street.

Even when my kids were growing up I always told them " I can't stop you hearing it but I'll certainly stop you using it"

Even when we hear it when out most people will just say nothing but the more you ignore it the worse it gets, so what's the answer??

Bring back the birch.....that will do for starters

Back on the merry go round of car insurance sites.

Still waiting for my insurers renewal quote, been looking on other sites for quotes, only trouble is when you get one that gives you a list of companies and their quotes if you leave it for a day and then go back the majority have increased their prices. Having put in my details each of these sites has a quote from the company I'm with, the price ranges from £25 more than last year to £50 more.

Martin Lewis says premiums have dropped by 16% this year compared to last so no one should be paying more for like to like policies, yeah try telling that to the companies, I found one the other day went back the next day it had increased by £25, went back today and another £10 had been added, this is where these companies have you if you don't sign up as soon as you see it they just put up the price.
Even tried Direct Line their cheapest quote was £100 more than I paid last year with only half the benefits, their top quote with all the benefits  was £250 more than last year, followed very closely by Admiral then Saga.

So Trump is planning to re open Alcatraz! To house the most dangerous criminals.

Never thought I'd say this but good for him, now he's using his noddle.

As bad as the roads are round here {and it's not in dispute} today we visited Matalan at Sutton in Ashfield, and as soon as you turn right to Huthwaite just past the Woodend pub the pot holes are like bomb craters, all the way into Sutton and it's been like that forever.
I personally can't see anything being done, I don't even see any pot hole repairs.
