It might be premature, but since this lockdown was announced, I’ve actually been quite optimistic. The most optimistic I’ve been for many many months. Things are going in the right direction. Same, the figures on vaccinations make very good reading, unless you live on Wales, where things are happen...

Tens of thousands of small businesses are set to receive insurance payouts covering losses in the first national lockdown, following a court ruling. The Supreme Court found in favour of small firms receiving payments from business interruption insurance policies. For some, it could provide the life...

I didn't think that it would ever be possible for Johnson to achieve a dirty trick lower then I thought him capable of. Yet he's just stood there and told people to avoid theatres and bars, but has refused to close them. Because if he did they could claim on their insurance. This way, they'll just ...

It's nearly Mid January, by now I'd have my accommodation booked, tickets bought for Arrivals days and be looking forward to updates on what's due to be there, but I haven't done any of it. Apart from the fact that my business has been hugely affected (try operating a Guesthouse in a Global Pandemic...

The point is he wont stop he will cause havoc the next 14 days and I think some republicans have just woken up to this. This. I would remind everyone, if it's needed or not, that he also has control of the nuclear codes. We'll wait to see what happens today, but a letter has already been sent to Th...

Pence urged to invoke 25th amendment, basically remove the Orange One from Office.

Problem is, you can scrap the xmas rules, but it wont stop people seeing family at xmas and it will be hard to police It's a real problem this. Gov makes rules, to try and stop NHS becoming overwhelmed. People are tired of the rules and so break them. NHS becomes overwhelmed and people blame The Go...

Well Christmas was going to be a pretty quiet occasion this year, but even our scaled down one looks under threat now. Wales has increasing numbers, albeit mostly in South Wales and London, areas of Hertfordshire and Essex are also entering Tier3 restrictions. The worrying development of a "New Vari...

Fantastic stuff, love Mull, a beautiful place. Where did you catch the Otters? Me and Mrs M had a wonderful 20 minutes at Croggan with one and another siting by the Golf Course at Craignure. Have to get back up there again next year......

Lovely stuff Andy. Was the Yellow Eyed Penguin at Curio Bay? Spent about 7 hours over 2 days there, waiting for a 5 minute glimpse :grin: . Had a better view of them taking The Elm Wildlife tour on the Otago Peninsula, from Dunedin a couple of years back, 7 in about an hour, running the gauntlet of ...

The point of the circuit-break is to halt the exponential rise in cases. Regional lockdowns already helped slow the acceleration, but was not slowed enough by them. There lockdown has only been for one week so far, it’ll take 10-14 days to see any material slowdown, I guess. This is what I can't ge...

The government will try to brand this as “Tier 4” so they can spin it, but it’s ostensibly lockdown. We should not let the Government off the hook for this.

THIS

Possibly I didn't phrase it right. I know no-one wants a lockdown, but some are more 'keen' than others. So, let's say we've had our 'circuit breaker', would it of worked? Personally, I doubt it. Again, look at March, cases took 6 weeks to drop ( and actually initially continued to rise). The main ...

Johnson has to go, surely. Last week it was "political opportunism" from Starmer, even yesterday Raab was towing the regional line. YESTERDAY! Making my blood boil. Utter incompetence from the top down. Yes, he HAS to go. Step forward the next for the poison Chalice......Gove?? Oh great..... The wo...

No holidays for me this year, had to cancel two earlier trips to Europe during the lockdown. Local Lockdowns appear to be the new way of shutting things down, without flushing the entire economy down the toilet. Thankfully, North Wales appears to be fully open for anyone fancying a short break in a ...

What a show that was Nige, remembered long by my family....not for the show mind. My Mum left her favourite frying pan behind under our camper

Seriously, that flypast was incredible....we had an Air Force in those days

Its not the most exciting scheme in the world, but at least its something different. Agreed - when was the last time you saw a black all over fighter of any type? Err....... <cough> https://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/Black-Mike590.jpg Err cough cough :grin: https://www.air...

Arse. Oh well. Back in 2021 folks.......

Do you really think so? I very much doubt it... Ah well, that's more money for Shuttleworth then.

Well for all our sakes lets try and be positive and hope we will be eh?

Arse. Oh well. Back in 2021 folks.......

Two days running, new Covid infections at around 3000 per day. Wondering if anyone is reconsidering going?

Hard to see anything positive from this announcement, both for Duxford as a venue and Historic Aviation generally. Obviously, the regulars will know more and see changes day to day but as a regular attendee over many years, the rot had already begun when the traditional end of season Autumn show, hi...

I know it’s completely irrelevant, but the YF-23 really is an arse-ugly plane, isn’t it. Very cool of course, I’d love to see it, but Christ alive it’s got looks only a mother could love. 🤮🤮🤮 Absolutely. It’s no Hawk 200... I see your Hawk 200 and YF23 and raise you with a face even it's Mother wou...

The problem with the current cabinet is their inexperience, and the fact they are only in position due to their Pro Brexit views. Added to that a prime minister who is only there for the glory of the job and disappears anytime anything difficult needs addressing, just leaves me with no confidence t...
