The Ukraine situation may remind us of Berlin and the wall that used to divide the city between the East and the West. But did you know that it's not, however, the only one of its kind. The small village of Mödlareuth was situated on the border of West and East Germany and was divided by a wall until 1989. It earned the nickname "Little Berlin". The effect can be seen by visiting it on Google Maps or Googling images of the town.

Just caught up and watched this. It really brings home how bad some people were hit by covid and how very lucky most of us were. I feel lucky just to have minor lung scarring after watching this programme. My best wishes go out to all of the families who are going through the long term impact of it xx

My contract with Talk Talk for broadband and home phone ends soon and I have been trying to arrange a new deal with them or switch to another supplier.
After yards of technical stuff I don't really understand it seems i cannot get the 'normal' landline anymore.
Got to have something called an eero and an engineer come down to drill through the wall to set it up.

Just done battle with my supplier [EDF] over their proposed new DD price.
In the last 6 months I have used £420 so in my mind [perhaps I'm wrong] a year should be £840, Even with the 54% increase predicted this would be £129.36 per year so £107.80 per month.
But they want the new DD to be £136
I have agreed at £110,
Have I got this all wrong ?

Incredible. It appears she cannot even construct a sentence!

I see our dear mayor was in the north of England, attending sporting jollies, with his wife, while London was being battered by storm Eunice!!. It also transpires that he has received at least £17,000 of tickets for sporting events!!

Tomorrow, you can read the date from left to right, from right to left and upside-down. A palindrome and an ambigram.

There weren't any experts actively supporting this change at the press briefing on today's announcement, I understand. Had the chief medical officer and chief scientific officer supported the change of policy, surely they'd have been speaking up for it.
A number of others have spoken up - but against the change, not for it - in the form of an open letter, which members of the public are invited to sign too. I haven't spotted anyone else posting this yet, so here's the link.

First the charity run by his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore tried to pay her a salary of £150,000. That is over 10% of the charity's assets. Basically she award herself that salary. The watchdog stopped her.
The latest is that an extension built onto her house was paid for out of the charity's funds. She made the excuse that her house is also the head office of the charity. The watchdog said the extension is personal living space and should've been paid for with personal funds.

National Rail and South Eastern are recommending you do not travel tomorrow due to the weather.

Here's another, very topical and invaluable petition - trying to stop the idiot government from ending free public testing for Covid-19.
Do please sign and share it as widely as possible, ideally before there's any official announcement of the ending of such testing.

Have a lovely day

This tree on the corner of Havant Park was lost today. At least it fell away from the road. I have just taken delivery of 500 tree whips from the Tree Council. They are for hedges rather than individual trees.

We knew this was happening. This report attempts to put a number to it.

My son in law and 2 grandkids have covid. My daughter text me yesterday to say she had a knock on the door from Havering Council. They were checking to see if her husband was at home and not out spreading covid. I know some of you have had covid, did you get a house call to make sure you were at home. They didn't ask about the kids.

Can someone please explain why the UK NATIONAL Lottery seems to be owned by the ONTARIO teachers pension fund??

It was told by Graham Norton on his tv show.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited Ukraine this week, or if you are watching on Catch Up, he visited South West Russia.

For once the BBC have backed their presenter and not seen reason to apologise.
