I quite agree. Although I do not watch GMB and have a low opinion of Piers Morgan, it is about time that news journalists and interviewers became more insistent that politicians, who are nominated by their party to do the daily media interviews, actually provide answers to fair questions rather than constantly prevaricating by reciting a party mantra, catchphrase or slogan loosely associated with the topic they are being questioned on. They seem to forget they are elected to serve us and giving a straight answer to a straight question would be a start rather than appearing to be playing a game amongst themselves consisting of how many questions they can avoid and how many slogans they can include. That would be a start to building back better. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just been to take the recycling out and check for damage. The only damage is a water feature in the side garden has blown over so David has a job when he gets up, there are no fences damaged or trees down so we seen to have got off lightly this time. We seem to be unscathed this side of the city although I presume more trees on and around the greenway will have fallen, especially those around the ponds that have had their roots in waterlogged ground for some time.

It might go in upright if you take the parcel shelf off. If you let me have the dimensions I can measure my boot for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very windy overnight here in West Sussex with a lot of rain in the last 24 hrs. Very little sleep but thankfully everything seems ok. I hate these storms which seem to occur much more regularly now. Glad all ok at yours Josy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted March 11, 2021 #16958 Share Posted March 11, 2021 High winds overnight I don't think that we had much rain as there aren't any puddles, clear skies sunny and breezy now. Lots of Goldfinches on the feeders this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of little niggles that you'll probably discover in due course, but a good choice. Are you going to tell or leave it to me to discover ?

yorkshirephil Posted March 11, 2021 #16960 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It was windy when we went to bed and windy when we got up so assume it was windy all night, persisting it down with rain with the odd sunny spell. No damage done outside, hope everyone stays safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice and cosy inside so that's where we'll stay. I feel sorry for my poor daffodils. They were late coming up this year, and the minute thet show their faces they're flattened to the ground😏 Oh well, March winds and April showers, make way for sweet May flowers.😉 Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could call them and see how many appear but what about those without names? If yours comes when you call ‘Harry’ you may have ours, or maybe another with the same name. I don’t know whether any have been given the name ‘Presto’. If so, best to keep the baby moorhens under cover. 🥴😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted March 11, 2021 #16966 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Still windy down here with very strong gusts. Woke up to hail battering on the windows first thing. Sunny now but the sky was looking very dark not long ago. No damage, but I think it is only a matter of time before next door's fence comes down in the winds, as it wobbles dangerously. Stay safe.

No light in glovebox - no glovebox No light in roof - no (proper) roof No light in boot - mind you all you could fit in there was the spare wheel and a jack anyway No synchromesh between first and second gears. Which was a bit agricultural even for cars of that era. Heater temperature control was tap on the cylinder head! A fun little car for summer months nonetheless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it was probably only for general interest since I think I will be keeping the Golf sv until it falls apart.

Hi Graham we did a short detour from the eye infirmary on Monday to South Shields to see the Azura and was surprised how big she is. Looked very strange as we could see no crew activity at all on board but really made me want to go onboard as soon as we safely can.Lindy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
