Apparently Britains Got Talent got 90 complaints last night about some of the judges dress sense.
Thats 90 out of over 13 million viewers.
Now I think they look a cracking pair, nothing to complain about 

Just seen these shots on the internet of the new QPLC baths. Still not sure if the whole venture is/was a good idea TBH 

Do you pay for prescriptions ?
Do you have 2 or more items on prescription each month ?
Then sign up for a PPC (Prescription prepayment certificate) card. http://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/1127.aspx
Basically pay £104 and all your prescription charges for a year are sorted, a saving of around £92.80 on the year. Based on today's current prescription charge.
Can't believe I didn't do this 6 months ago. I'd have saved £45 already 

Yes I know her. Yes she was in the wrong. I'm not sticking up for her

Does it prove CBC's points system for taxi drivers is 'right' are wrong though?
Should a local council have the right to add an 'extension ' to a punishment served by a court ?
So now she can't continue her job that she's done for the last 15 years due to the council revoking her badge.
How is she supposed to pay back the money ?
Chances are, no other employer will set her on in another role due to her criminal record saying she is a thief or such.
The firm she worked for didn't sack her, she didn't rob them, they were quite willing to let her go about her daily job.
If I ran my own taxi firm, I'd set her on, but I couldn't. CBC have made sure of that!

So that's it, let her claim benefits and let the tax payer pay it back for her 

Come on CBC, give her the badge back. At least let 'her' pay for the crime !!

You have been warned !!

I called at the Spire this morning to take a few shots of the new 'Bee'.



I was lucky enough to meet, and have a chat with the wooden sculptures artist Andrew Frost, and Peter Corke, sustainability officer at Chesterfield Borough Council. I asked what was to become of the sculpture when it was finally finished.
Peter explained that the sculpture was to stay in it's present location for the entire span of it's life.
The chance that it may get vandalised will hopefully not be the outcome. They both hope the people and visitors of Chesterfield will welcome and cherish the new addition to the grounds of the town's iconic Church.
So do I, it's a great little piece of work, I love it 





I didn't ask how much it had cost, but the borough council and various other organisations funded the sculpture.
People would still complain if it was done for a pittance mind 
Andrew also removed the board under the Bee's proboscis whilst I was there. These may be some of the first photo's online without it in place 

Saw this post by a friend on FB. Scuse his spelling 

You want b ceing this much longer williamthorpe ponds now they've stopped pumping water in 2 them such a shame

With it was a picture of Williamthorpe Pond. I asked him what was happening, he told me DCC would no longer pay for the water to be pumped into the ponds.

I posted a question on the Derbyshire Countryside FB page
Is it true that DCC will be closing Williamthorpe Ponds later this year ?
and got this response.

Hello Barry. The ponds at Williamthorpe were fed by mine water pumping. With the imminent closure of the colliery, the pumps have already been disconnected. This will gradually affect water quality and we anticipate that fishing on Williamthorpe Ponds will need to stop this winter, but we will continue to monitor water levels and quality. Only the ponds are directly affected, the woodlands, grasslands and trail around the Nature Reserve will continue to be there for visitors to use and enjoy’

The colliery has been closed for years. Do they mean that DCC can no longer, or are not going to, continue paying for the running and upkeep of the pumps ?
I await their reply.
