Mad!!

I did a lot of trips but those ones were def for the elite, despite me being head of PTA & class reps in the Junior school!!

Boys did it as part of History lessons. Day trips from London as I recall. I wanted to go as a parent helper but never got picked!!

It's always a stupid number too. Not a million pounds but a billion!!
Surely he'd have to prove that he didn't incite that crowd? Despite the fact a judge ruled he did AND then trump pardoned all of them.
His threats won't come to anything - he's just a pathetic bully.

Trump threatens to sue BBC for $1bn over speech edit The BBC has been engulfed in a crisis, with both its director-general and head of news resigning after it emerged a speech by Donald Trump was edited misleadingly in a Panorama documentary that aired last year.

One of the demands being put forward here is a compensation to the geriatric orange felon.

Are we now seriously in a position where the national broadcaster is being shaken down by the president of the United States?

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Was thinking the same this morning. Back to still dark at 7am!!

All my boys did the battlefields tours by coach pre Brexit. All found it very thought provoking.

Morning. Mild & breezy out there.
More lavender heart sewing & some cartoon character cushions to make ( Thunderbirds/Hector's House etc).
Greenhouse check - seedlings doing well but might need to pot some on.
Have a fab day all❤️❤️

A photo collage of some of my letterbox gift art, original drawings in colour pencil to fit a 4x6" frame: A bee on lavender, a deer in woodlands, a bullfinch with rowan berries, pink cosmos flowers, a ladybird on snowdrops and red poppies.

These tiny artworks which will fit a 4x6" photo frame are all one of a kind originals at the low price of £25. They can be sent as a gift and will fit in a letterbox.

True.

There are some reasonably priced things there - need to hunt around though. Can recommend their tomato ketchup - nicer & much cheaper than Heinz ( around £1.20).

Same here. Although the postman is a bit erratic with deliveries.

Morning. Wet & mild out there.
Was going to go shopping but will make lavender hearts & dried flower wreaths instead.
Waiting for plumber to come & sort leaking overflow pipe ( hopefully simple job with cold water tank!).
Have a fab day all❤️❤️

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

Nor me!!

Had a lovely walk around the lake at Stourhead yesterday. Missed the beautiful tree colours by a few weeks but the scenery still wonderful & the weather was perfect

England facing drastic measures due to extreme drought next year Government and water companies are devising emergency plans for worst water shortage in decades

England facing drastic measures due to extreme drought next year.

Country surrounded by water has water shortages.
2024: 1trn litre of lost to leaks.
Sewage dumped in rivers for 4m hours.
No new reservoirs.
Investment neglected, £85bn paid in dividend.
Record high water bills.

People fleeced.

saw this. had to share.

One of the many benefits of living in the wilds of Somerset - no fireworks ( except in the far distance).

And agree re stupid voice. I find Carr irritating & fake!

Yes I did. I'd never heard of Ed before - he's very good.

ITV in talks to sell television business to Sky The talks focus on ITV's Media and Entertainment division, which include its TV channels as well as its streaming service, ITV X.

ITV in talks to sell television business to Sky.

Sky is owned by US-based Comcast, largest shareholders include Vanguard Group, BlackRock.

CMA must block the takeover. No one must own more than one major media outlet. Need diversity and competition.

They will want to charge us for it too. Foreign owners shouldn't be allowed to take a British TV channel.

America can’t afford Donald Trump.

Agree re the money. I only watched this version because of the celebrities. Didn't like the "normal" Traitors.

Exactly!!

Glad about the charity but Carr has always got on every single one of my nerves!!

❤️❤️

Morning.
Gardening today instead of Xmas shopping.
Have a fab weekend all❤️❤️
