They're too clever for that Ian. To do so would be to admit liability and possibly lay themselves open to legal proceedings on the grounds they were responsible. That would never do!!

Sorry Cathy I can't remember. But if you go to his evidence in the Lancashire Textile Project the first questions were about his ancestry so if there is anything you'll find it there....

It's a good story and a sad one David. One of the big mistakes of my life. That young bobby had no conception of responsibility.
By the way, as far as I am concerned that isn't copyright, anyone can reproduce it if they so desire....

Just like yesterday (It was remarked on by David as well.) the site has slowed down to unusable levels with the bouncing black dot in the tab label and now a 502 'bad gateway' error. This happened at 03:19. I foresee a miserable rest of the morning!
Later at 04:28. It appears to have healed up......

And it is immoral because it gives the responsibility of deciding the migrant's case to the Rwandans..... HERE'S another example of lack of principle on the part of the government. One of the prime minister's dementia champions has quit in protest over the treatment of disabled people. Johnny Timpso...

I remember when John Northage had stone-painted my mother's house in King Street he said to me "You'll see. It'll spread like a rash!" He was right.....

"It also supports my latest hobby horse that there are too many people supervising work / activities, and too few actually doing stuff. "
Exactly what my old mate Newton Pickles said over 30 years ago. He was right then and you are now. Too many chiefs and not enough indians.....

I'm back up and having a hot drink. I think the next move will be a short walk.

His name is Jim Pollard Gloria and that was his everyday working dress.

Morning Sue! I agree with you, no sign of summer yet apart from the new growth on the trees. It's warmer in Scotland than it is with us.... Still, we won't get their midges!
Have a nice day and keep the faith, it will eventually improve!

Morning Cathy! And I was only thinking yesterday how nice it is to see the fresh new shoots on our trees..... Just coming into leaf ready for the summer.

WHAT’S THE BEEF 01 It’s always nice to find that you are in front of the curve. 15 years ago I wrote an article on mixed farming for ‘The Food Magazine’ and it was very well received. In case you hadn’t noticed, mixed farming has risen from the grave and is now a hot topic in farming circles. The gr...

Photographer of the mountain west, and its peoples. The platinum printing process gives the most beautiful image one can get. It has the longest scale and one can get the greatest degree of contrast. It's not a difficult process; it just takes time.   Laura Gilpin.      The Kodak ‘Brownie’ was a mar...

Thi9s week's cooking X three for breakfast dinner and tea. Settling in nicely.

I think I very nearly got scammed yesterday with what they call the Makita scam. I shame to say it but I was falling for it until Firefox stepped in and slapped my wrist. These frauds are so realistic! I forgot the Golden Rule, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. I admit to being human....

Yesterday afternoon's overcast was marred by the occasional spatter of rain but by 20:00 the cloud was breaking and it wasn't raining. First thing this morning it was calm, partially overcast but dry. The glass has fallen slightly to 1023mb and the forecast is for a brighter day and dry but overall,...

What is this man doing?

I shall be in the shed this morning starting on the next phase of making three crankshafts out of solid steel...... I know.... It's a long drawn out job but the end result, if done right, is beautiful and practical. Time is of no matter to me, indeed, the longer it takes the less my workshop experie...

I saw that report Peter and had the same reaction. I think the root of the problem is that they have no funding to actually make a difference and so in common with a lot of other public services all they can do in the way of action is issue denials and anodyne, weasel-worded statements. As a country...

A clever skit on the song but I don't understand two things, the last line and the mention of 'ramping' further back.

I envy you you#re knowledge of chess David. They once tried to teach me the art at grammar school but failed miserably. It had no attraction for me whatsoever. I am very happy for you!

See THIS BBC reportabout late night sittings..... Rishi Sunak's flagship Rwanda bill is set to become law after five months of Westminster wrangling. It designates Rwanda a safe country and is a key part of the government's plans to send some asylum seekers there. The bill has been fiercely criticis...
