Perhaps think more defensively and choose your words more carefully (dumb down)... People don't listen closely to the words you speak. It's their problem rather than yours but it leads to a lot of rows.

(I have the same problem - people don't hear what I say and they don't read what I write.)

We have to remember, those brave men and women who gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today....

Google adverse posession...

Any undesirable effects..? They're not classed as an NNIS are they?

😀 Is there a name for an aggregation of Egrets..?

Back alley

Their win last time was a fluke. Look at the figures.

Proportional Respresentation would be a good first step, wouldn't it? Labour must realise they stand no chance in the next election so use the current majority to neutralise the extremists.

It's happening.... 🌼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❌

I checked my secret local box trees a couple of weeks ago. Some leaves affected but many not touched and trees doing ok.

Hi Phil, it’s madness isn’t it 🙄 It is likely that a gully pot in Richmond goes to sewer anyway, so the coffee is irrelevant 🤷🏼‍♀️ But the untreated highway runoff is toxic and is the responsibility of the Council, so perhaps they’d like to put their own house in order before they pick on other people 👍🏻

😀 Can you post that in reply to my first post, so that it appears in DAG's thread..?

@stormwater-jo.bsky.social Have you seen this..?!

Hopefully @stormwater-jo.bsky.social will be along soon to explain: (1) the really nasty pollution that goes down road gulleys without many people realising; (2) the unlawful deal done between EA and Highways authorities so that such pollution is unregulated; (3) her take on the coffee nonsense...

Often these "law is an ass " stories are misleading and incomplete, but this one indeed looks ridiculous.

And urging pouring hot liquids into bins instead?

In Wales, we’re one more flood away from another disaster like Aberfan | Aaron Thierry It is only a matter of time before a mountainside is brought down. We need climate adaptation help – and we need it now, says climate expert Aaron Thierry

Absolute insanity that these dangers still persist in Wales. More often than not these tips are perched precariously, looming over our most deprived communities, just biding time before slipping through the streets.

They were very lucky this wasn’t a lot worse. Next time they may not be so lucky.

I thought just this last night watching the news. I know better checks on coal tips were put in place after the tragedy at #Aberfan but are they stringent enough for our changing #climate, somehow I doubt it! #Wales #landslides

"Buried alive by the NCB"... #Aberfan

Check, clean, dry..!

Starmer always seems to me to be avoiding a straight answer.

Our local NRW staff tell us they find our (AT WQMN) sampling results useful. We sample monthly. They sample every 3 years.

Depressing reading...

You say "river groups and citizen scientists are regularly finding evidence of failure, evidence that the regulator and Government continue push to one side". Can you give an example?

Had this on my windscreen this morning. I don't recall you sharing one with us from your trap. It is a moth, isn't it..?!

Still a few caddis on the wing: Limnephilus lunatus (with the 🌙 mark) and the anglers’ Grey Sedge: Hydropsyche sp.
