Lorries block the roads in the snow.

All these "jack knifed" lorries. I'm sure I saw on "Tomorrows World" years ago a device to stop lorries "Jack knifing" apparently they don't use it? What about making it the LAW they use these devices. Wouldn't that save all the frustration and lost time on the roads.

What about fining the firms owning these lorries that block the roads? The chaos they cause. They'd soon do something about it then. Perhaps the rest of us could get on with our lives - think of the millions saved.
Think about it David (Cameron) another source of income for your beleaguered Government.

May be you could give the money to the Councils to spend on more snow ploughs and gritters.

Superfast Broadband

Sutton on Sea is in the top 10

Come on my neighbours get voting

We want faster than 256kbps

Yes that's the speed some of us in SOS can expect from BT on their Total Broadband, criminal isn't it.

Advertised at "upto 20mbs" yet all you get is 256kbps

The Gas Man cometh

What a day, remember Flanders and Swann? I do.

Gas went off 10ish - freezing temperatures, just what you need. Anyway 'cos we have a woodburner (gone out) we had to evacuate to a neighbours. THey all have no gas too.
About 2pm back on - no guarantees though.
This is a first - never hadd the Gas off before. Water, Electricity but never Gas.

Freezing Weather - Monty's Tip

Monty's Tip of the day - in this freezing weather - if you have a Condensing Boiler make sure the condesate pipe is insulated outside. Don't let it freeze.

Breeding layabouts?

Tory maverick Howard Flight was right and wrong.

We are in danger of creating a 2 tier society, a nightmare scenario where the ruling classes become impotent and sterile. The "breeding classes" will outnumber us soon!
We encourage it.

Howard is wrong when he says the middle classes cannot afford children, I don't think anyone on over £25k thinks of the cost when they have a child its of little consequence in the big scheme of things. I think Howard does not understand quite how much benefits pay the scrounging classes for each child relatively speaking. He should try and live on average benefits.
For the middle and above classes its a lifestyle choice like moving home, a new car, foreign holidays etc. another child?
But he is right to say the system is wrong.
We should not reward non-earning people to have endless children. I say 3 is enough.

Save the Tigers

Remember I posted about the dreadful fate of these mognificent creatures.

The biggest threat is the far east (mainly Chinese) who still use them for Medicine - BAH!!

Anyway have you noticed how much stuff we buy from China. Maybe if we stopped they would listen. Maybe too we'd encourage our own manufacturing industry as well and get us out of this mess?

Anyway a good summit was had.

All non Digital Radios obsolete in 2015!!

Did you know that come 2015 all traditional radios will not work anymore. Just static and maybe some foreign stations is all you will hear.
Crazy isn't it.

The Government is switching off the old signals. No AM, no Long Wave no FM - just digital - if you've got one.

In your car - NO RADIO!! I don't know any new cars yet that have DAB radios - do you? SO when its 4 years old (still new - we've a 8 yr old car) the radio is useless. I don't know about you but I always listen to the radio in the car, rarely play CDs etc.

Its a scandal. Yes changing TV to Digital is OK as the picture etc. can be improved and more services. HD about time. But NO RADIO - I think it shouldn't be allowed.

Write to your MP.
