https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/draft-legislation-energy-oil-and-gas-profits-levy-bill?fbclid=IwAR3YvJEVjL880lZhCE8ka9KmzkuyV2dN5t3K_uZNJ56QzBFp4x1kplcmKFk It does say "The Government is seeking your views" but they doubt they`ll take any notice! There`s LOADS of reading matter,most of it very repetitive but nothing technical. You reply by email. I basically said the get-out clause ( called investment incentives) needs to be more specific,that they should be less generous and it should be less easily applied because otherwise companies WILL find ways to wriggle out of it and the Gov then won`t raise very much at all,et alone the £5billion they are expecting! And that these investment incentives should only apply to Alternative forms of Energy Generation because otherwise they`ll be using it to explore for more Oil & Gas and that would make keeping COP26 promises impossible.

I know there`s a joke page but I`m never gonna use it.... AWKWARD BRITISH PROBLEMS: 🇬🇧Staring at your phone in silent horror until the unknown number stops ringing 🇬🇧Hearing a recording of your own voice and deciding it’s perhaps best never to speak again 🇬🇧The relief when someone doesn’t answer their phone within three rings and you can hang up 🇬🇧Filming an entire fireworks display on your phone, knowing full well you’ll never, ever watch it again 🇬🇧 Mishearing somebody’s name on the second time of asking, meaning you must now avoid them forever 🇬🇧 Leaving it too late to correct someone, meaning you must live with your new name forever 🇬🇧 Running out of ways to say thanks when a succession of doors are held for you, having already deployed ‘cheers’, ‘ta’ and ‘nice one’ 🇬🇧 Changing from ‘kind regards’ to just ‘regards’, to indicate that you’re rapidly reaching the end of your tether 🇬🇧 Realising you’ve got about fifty grand’s worth of plastic bags under your kitchen sink 🇬🇧"You’ll have to excuse the mess” – Translation: I’ve spent seven hours tidying in preparation for your visit 🇬🇧 Indicating that you want the last roast potato by trying to force everyone else to take it 🇬🇧 "I’m off to bed” – Translation: “I’m off to stare at my phone in another part of the house” 🇬🇧 The overwhelming sorrow of finding a cup of tea you forgot about 🇬🇧 Turning down a cup of tea for no reason and instantly knowing you’ve made a terrible, terrible mistake 🇬🇧 Suddenly remembering your tea and necking it like a massive, lukewarm shot 🇬🇧 Waiting for permission to leave after paying for something with the exact change 🇬🇧 Saying hello to a friend in the supermarket, then creeping around like a burglar to avoid seeing them again 🇬🇧 Watching with quiet sorrow as you receive a different haircut to the one you requested 🇬🇧 Being unable to pay for something with the exact change without saying “I think that’s right” 🇬🇧 Overtaking someone on foot and having to keep up the uncomfortably fast pace until safely over the horizon 🇬🇧 Being unable to turn and walk in the opposite direction without first taking out your phone and frowning at it 🇬🇧 Deeming it necessary to do a little jog over zebra crossings, while throwing in an apologetic mini wave 🇬🇧 Punishing people who don’t say thank you by saying “you’re welcome” as quietly as possible 🇬🇧 Loudly tapping your fingers at the cashpoint, to assure the queue that you’ve asked for money and the wait is out of your hands 🇬🇧 Looking away so violently as someone nearby enters their PIN that you accidentally dislocate your neck 🇬🇧 Being sure to start touching your bag 15 minutes before your station, so the person in the aisle seat is fully prepared for your exit 🇬🇧 Repeatedly pressing the door button on the train before it’s illuminated, to assure your fellow commuters you have the situation in hand 🇬🇧 Having someone sit next to you on the train, meaning you’ll have to eat your crisps at home 🇬🇧 The huge sense of relief after your perfectly valid train ticket is accepted by the inspector 🇬🇧 The horror of someone you only half know saying: “Oh I’m getting that train too” 🇬🇧 “Sorry, is anyone sitting here?” – Translation: Unless this is a person who looks remarkably like a bag, I suggest you move it 🇬🇧 Worrying you’ve accidentally packed 3 kilos of cocaine and a dead goat as you stroll through “Nothing to declare” 🇬🇧 Being unable to stand and leave without first saying “right” 🇬🇧 Not hearing someone for the third time, so just laughing and hoping for the best 🇬🇧 Saying “anywhere here’s fine” when the taxi’s directly outside your front door.

Free Sprout plants! I think there`s about 4-5. You can only buy a tray12! 2-3 for me, 2-3 for Dad and the rest I have to give away-so annoying. But you have to be local to East Barnet which is where I am.

They can`t get Whetstone right-can they? Entirely the wrong picture-that`s Whitestone in the US!!😆 I thought I`d sent them a picture including the Griffin and explained where Whetstone is? Is it my imagination or did we have a suitable photo for a while and then it reverted back to this?

Save The Planet A consultation document for evidence on littering-that means plastic waste!!😁 (Edited)Be prepared it`s quite long.It covers,wipes,sachets,single use bottles & cups and possibly other things I`ve forgotten.I didn`t give `evidence` every time,which is asked for,(!!) though I did try to provide links to either real evidence or at least articles from respected organisations laying out the problems. I suggested biodegradables-easily obtainable materials available and `return-clean and take another full one` systems for bottles-like Milk deliveries. I did that because there are sytems to copy(milkmen) and sytems are already half there in some supermarkets anyway. I`ve also suggested Loyalty points can be consumer incentives! It`s very easy to find links to items that fit the bill on biodegradables and since they are sellers they provide costings too. Worth doing IMHO https://consult.defra.gov.uk/environmental-quality/call-for-evidence-on-commonly-littered-and-problem/consultation/intro/?fbclid=IwAR1lsdV7nIw00Lzd6b5HmobvjOsozyzx7zNRryPYIVFxPfRplHiLjEJlPxo

Save The Planet Why protecting the planet is essential to prevent future pandemics & failing economies.https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/17/perspectives/planet-climate-pandemics/index.html?fbclid=IwAR0uHvPaj_KkG3gDrvybb6YvtZ4tKaaWK8jfnHq2jNS-mjEHD7i_KV26AkM The latest World Economic Forum's annual Global Risks Report reveals that world leaders now rank biodiversity loss as one of the most severe risks facing humanity in the coming decade, alongside climate action failure and extreme weather events. More than half of global GDP coming from industries that rely on nature, such as construction and food, businesses are also calling for action to protect and restore nature, which is essential for a resilient global economy.

Hello 60 users! Now East Barnet is ONE group instead of 2 and has a recognisable photo perhaps we`ll all use it a bit. Let`s hope we get our festival next summer-I`ve kinda missed it-even though it`s less than perfect.

There`s been some talk of the Local Loop and the Business Directory. I`ve got into the habit of NOT going there so I did and found it interesting-there`s enough in my area unlike some. BUT the search is all wrong. If I want to look up a business it`s very common that I have no idea which business,I only know what type- Gas Engineer, Plumber ect. So why isn`t there a search for business type? Seems obvious to me that people don`t always know what the business they are hoping to find might be called.
