Good morning all . Love the conversations about Leigh on Sea , the beach made entirely of cockle shells . Marvellous place . Shame it had to grow up . It’s still the same in my head though .
I was watching the news last night , I don’t normally ever get past the thirty seconds of “headlines” .... thats enough for me , it’s all I need to know , unless there is something really interesting. For some reason last night , I don’t know where my wife had gone , but I sat there and watched it all , what mindless infill they use on every story . On the terrible search search for poor Madeline McCann, they cut to a woman reporter in a field in Hanover who was standing in front of two police vans . She actually said , “ I don’t know what the police are looking for here ,,they haven’t said ! “
“ they are digging at the moment and I’ve seen floodlights being brought in so I can only imagine they will be digging all night “.
Exactly what was the point of sending a reporter , camera crew , sound crew etc to a field in Hanover !
when the news finished , some guy came on and told me what the weather had been doing all day . Why do I need to be told what happened at eight o clock that morning . I was there , I know what happened , I was in it . I was part of it . I’m going back to just listening to the thirty second headlines . No wonder the BBC want to do away with free licensing for me in five years time . They want the money to pay for this crap . The bloke reading the news looked so smart and serious . He doesn’t need to be there ! Makes my blood boil .
This second wave thingy . Why oh why are we surprised . People at airports wearing face masks moaning about going into self isolation. They are actually moaning about it . They are putting every one of us at risk . Again .
money is running the country again . Money experts rather than health experts . Money scientists have taken their place .
you wouldn’t catch me on a roundabout at the moment , let alone a plane.
the weather is lovely again.......... at last .
, Congratulations to Stuart Broad , I’ve followed his career from day one , and his Dads . Shows how old I am .
Harry , if you are having flooring in your loft , are they putting in new insulation between the joists or raising the new boards above the existing insulation? . Just curious as everything changes so fast these days . Just wondering what sort of insulation they use now . I retired early , seven years ago , and I haven’t really kept up with all the new building technology. Hope it all goes well mate .
Hope you are all well , stay safe everyone , play to the whistle , keep out of harms way .
