We had 2 camping holidays in the uk - one in Wiltshire in July and one in Yorkshire in August. Both were fine, we spent most of the time visiting English Heritage sites (booked in advance) or walking in the countryside. We went to 2 pubs and 2 cafes both of which were virtually empty. Camping is a f...

I just seriously don’t know why people vote for a party that holds them in such scant regards.

Jeremy Corbin.

The Blackburn Beverley, which was one of 49 built in the 1950s in Brough, near Hull, was bought by a local buyer who has access to a private airfield.

Surely the point is not whether or not we (or anyone) agree with the rules, but in this case that rules across the UK differ so wildly. It's not unreasonable to find it odd at best that Wales, Scotland, NI and England can have very different ideas about what is the best way to keep us safe whilst s...

Whether letting Jemima have five, six or seven friends at a her birthday party affects how quickly we fall off that precipice, I don’t know. I doubt it does.

Why do you doubt it - surely the more people that come into contact with each other the greater the risk of transmission?

So maybe he has not saved your elderly relatives from dying. But maybe he has saved somebodies elderly relatives from dying.

Maybe he has not - lets see who is around next Christmas.

The Scottish and Welsh governments have played a blinder today, by not including children under 12 in the rule of six. This goes straight to the heart of millions of families across the UK who were bemused and upset by Boris’ ruling. Either Boris will now have to perform another embarrassing u-turn...

OMG - I have been wearing one of those dayglow things over my black leather jacket on my motorcycle!

Tonight's expected announcement re Switzerland is going to be interesting in light of 1500 new cases in the UK, I doubt their daily numbers are anywhere near as high as that. Doesn't bode well for the Swiss coming over to Leeming, although that may not be a bad thing. Tell me more about the Swiss v...

I saw one over home in South London for the first time a month ago.

Last year driving down the A34 near Didcot they were bordering on being a menace as there were so many of them - several swooping down very low across the traffic.

Lovely birds and lovely images.

"Not helped by the fact that everyone was using the app to order drinks so there was only one member of staff on actual bar duty. I was the only customer they asked to fill out a T&T form." They have contact details for all of those using the app so don't need to ask them to fill in a form. Also - a...

So how do the Science Museum suggest that someone wanting to borrow an airliner get it out of Wroughton?

I was at the Willows campsite when this came through, lovely to view, thanks for the memories. It also visited Liverpool for more circuits on Saturday around 13:30pm.

Is that the proper name for "Johns Field"?

There have been a few A400M on FR24 in the last few weeks - heard a few - they sound a bit strange - actually saw one yesterday or maybe Friday heading West towards Heathrow from Dartford(ish)

{Edit} Looking at other posts it was probably one circuit bashing at Biggin Hill on Thursday or Friday.

I was at the Tramway Museum at Crich, near Matlock

A great place to visit

Phil had one on a Northolt night shoot some years ago - when was that?

so the UKG plan is staycations?

**** that; I prefer to get away from the British as often as possible. Even more so as we are carrying the virus more than the rest of Europe

I hate the word "staycation" is it even a word?

Please holiday in the UK instead.

Let's not forget Trump lost the popular vote Is this some American voting term? Surely he won the popular vote as he got in? Please explain as I am not really into politics in general and not into US politics at all. Clinton won 48.2% of the votes - 65,853,514 votes, Trump won 46.1% of the vote -62...

If it is the NFL you are referring to It was not quite the same a couple of years ago. The 49’ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick (quickly followed by others) refused to stand for the national anthem which is played at the beginning of every game around the country. He instead chose to take a knee whi...

Serious question though, (it’s “take a knee” btw, not “bend the knee” the later is GoT) has anyone ever called you a racist for not doing it? I wholeheartedly support BLM, and I’ve not had to take a knee for anything, and even in events where I would have been expected to that I didn’t realise, I w...

My point is simple; saying “black lives matter” is not an expression that other lives do not matter

Does saying "white lives matter" indicate that other lives don't matter?

Looks like (weather permitting) they will pass about 1.75m south of me - might have a cycle down to the plotted route tomorrow afternoon.

It wont take long to cycle 1.75 metres!

It’s also right to say that if it gets to a point where a tanker’s paint colours makes it more vulnerable than overall grey ( which, visually, seems to stand out against the clouds anyway ), then things have already gone very badly wrong. Against the clouds maybe, but we've been having more A-400m ...
