Just read the council concerned has quashed the fine.

Hands up all those who thought it was bl**dy stupid.

I believe it was a couple of weeks ago in the letters page of the D.T. someone was berating C.C. on the extortionate car parking charges in the town.

Last week's D.T. contained a response from C.C. obviously in answer to this letter, their response can be summed up in a few words:-

"Sod what you lot think we'll do it our way"

Trumps obviously miffed at not getting the Nobel peace prize, well I could have told him that wasn't going to happen...to win such an award you have to work damn hard at what you do and more importantly be recognised for it.

So he might help stop the war in Gaza {I say might} but not because of his negotiating skills, all he's done is threaten the two sides.

He's just like a playground bully, he acts all tough because he has other kids backing him up, the weaker kids hate him but they know if they cling to his shirt tails no body will touch them {I didn't mention Starmer at all there} with friends like Trump who needs enemies.

Why he just doesn't say what he's thinking.....Stop the war or America will bomb the sh*t out of the pair of you....If you want to get anywhere near a peace prize Donald sort Putin out.

On top of the boat people we are apparently starting to get an influx of people from the Chagos islands. Since the U.K. has decided to give up the sovereignty of the islands those British dependants living in Chagos who want to remain under British rule are making their way here.

Whether this is right or wrong is perhaps a discussion for another time, it's just adding to the ever increasing numbers entering Britain. The one in one out policy really needs to step up a gear as at the moment the ratio of the in's far outways the ratio of the out's.

I have been worried about the state of the nations decline in manufacturing.

The loss of the coal industry the decimation of the steel industry and the rapid decline in our car industry, but fear not help is at hand.

Galloping over the hill to save the day are Content creators....Influencers...Podcasters....Reality t.v. stars, there's nothing these people won't do {for money}.

With those people guiding us we have nothing to fear!!

Remember a while ago I told you of the slogan "It's only a promise till it's delivered"?

Saturday I ordered something to be delivered and the owners claim on the advert was "If you don't receive it within two days you get it free", it was ordered Saturday morning and it was delivered today, after a brief phone call with them my money is being refunded.

This is someone who obviously doesn't know fully how parcel delivery companies are run, either that or the parcel company reimburses them for late deliveries either way it's no way to run a company.
If I ran that company and my manager made a bold claim like that they would be looking for another job.

Parcel delivery firms have shot themselves in the foot over the years to the point they ARE making promises they can't deliver.

Since the cyber attack on Jaguar Land rover a few weeks ago they have had to close production. This in turn has had a knock on effect on those companies that supply spares to JLR and they in turn have been laying people off.
I'm all for the Government stepping in to help pay wages whilst it is sorted {it was done during covid on a much bigger scale} but one thing I don't agree with is the idea going round Parliament at the moment is for the Government to keep these spares companies going by BUYING all the JLR spares using our money and hanging on to them till JLR are back up and running and selling to JLR, this is a recipe for disaster.

If I were JLR and this happened I would turn round to the government and say we don't want what you've got. we would then start again with our suppliers on a new, more favourable contract to us, we will only buy the government's stock at a VASTLY reduced price. 

Since they've closed part of the road near the crooked spire whose brilliant idea was it to divert the traffic through Church way.

I caught the bus back home a couple of days ago and it was no exaggeration to say it took the bus 5 minutes just to get onto Cavendish street.
I also notice they've re surfaced under Storforth lane bridge, I bet it won't stop it flooding though.
