5p charge for plastic bags – Welcome!

I welcome the 5p charge on plastic bags in English supermarkets.  If only it were more than 5p. From today, shops employing over 250 people, a plastic bag will not be given away freely but a charge of 5p will be enforced as The Single Use Carrier Bags Charges Order 2015 comes in.  If only it […]

BBC should keep using the Met Office

I am very disappointed at the BBC’s decision to end its contract with the Met Office.  A middle finger to this decision.   The Met office is the most accurate forecaster, according to the World Meteorological Organisation.  It has made some infamous cock-ups, but generally it is brilliant.  In its 93 year relationship, the BBC […]

As a matter […]

The wing mirror clipped me and flung me into the grass verge.   My glasses were knocked off but luckily I wasn’t knocked out.  My head was painful […]

2012-01-23 – Cameron’s announcement of a referendum

  Today David Cameron pledged to give the British public ‘their say’ on our membership of the European Union.  It was promised that it would be held before 2018. Excellent!  I hear you say.  Well, if you are a Eurosceptic.  No, if you are a Europhile.  What?!  I hear you say.  If we think back […]
