how fast is fast enough

Traveled down the A14 from Cambridge to Woodbridge yesterday morning , and the question  of how fast is fast enough was being answered by the Police in Suffolk very definately. Its 70 mph folks on dual carriageways and if that's not enough go hire a race track.

Within 25 miles I saw four traffic cars, none the same, and three stopped cars, one the car a big grey BMW estate stopped right in front of me after steaming past closely followed by the police car that had obviously been tailing it.

Why do folk do it, bored, no idea what speed they are doing or what.

green government!

So this week we have the statement from the Govt's secretary of state for the environment that developers should be allowed to build of ancient woodland as long as they plant replacement trees elsewhere.

What is it with them I have a clear memory of the pledge they would be the greenest government.

Are we going back to the 60's and 70's where we had trees planted in Scotland and the whole thing a tax fiddle or what.

Trees are only one part of a woodland, there are birds, mammals, insects, bacteria, fungi and the list goes on and on. Ancient woodland cannot be moved, translocated, recreated full stop.

oooohhh what a word

They have a page in the local paper every night as most do these days with a sudoku, and various other things including a niner, a nine letter word that you get from various odd clues.

What was a recent word? that delightful bit of what 1950's chastisement, Scoundrel, does anyone use the word now if they do I bet ragamuffin is hot on their lips as well.

On't railway lad you never need

So its official Cambridge might get a new railway station and folk are happy as little kids in sweet shops used to be before they banned sugar, oh no they hav'nt dont that yet, that's next year.

The local Cambridge news is full of the good news with the councils very happy claiming it will be  a game changer and a catalyst for growth and then there was this other story on the 19th December.

"Workers covered in lavatory waste"

We are in the 21st century with all this fantastic technology and yet still trains just drop toilet waste onto the tracks and line staff have to work in it. The article claims that less than half of Greater Anglia's trains that operate in the Cambridge area have retention tanks which keep all the toilet waste in the train until it can be pumped out. And guess why all trains dont have retention tanks. A Greater Anglia spokeswoman said, " upgrades take time to implement as they rely on collaboration with rail industry partners, including the companies who lease the trains to them".

Well that's all right then eh, or it's a load of ****.

All in it together I dont think so but lets face it anything to keep costs down and the economy growing regardless of anyone else so it must be okay!

That religion thing

Just before Christmas, 21st December in fact, the Cambridge News carried a full page interview with Anne Edward the Pagan Federations West Anglia coordinator. Although the reporter put forward although in a mild fashion all the usual preconceptions about devil worship etc, Heathers answers were relaxed and explanatory. Well done Heather a good read.
