flood-risk-maps.naturalresources.wales?locale=en Flood risk maps from NRW have been up for several years - I worked on the project to deliver them.

Ah yes, the 1970s, when we literally has acid falling out of the sky

Saves water though, and you can use the same brush.

Sludge from wastewater treatment works is regularly used as fertiliser. But mainly - "Caught Short in the Monkey House" has got to be the title of your autobiography.

I think this is a brilliant idea - but you're missing some essential toolbox items: single rusted jubilee clip; dried up tubes of Araldite (possibly inherited); sparkplug for vehicle you no longer possess; Ikea pencils (x12); assorted fuses (mostly blown). Happy to supply these on permanent loan.

[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS] 1 NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: Hello there 2 [A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk]. DAD: Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids? 3 NT EMPLOYEE: Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail! 4 MUM: That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids? 5 NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]: Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot! 6 NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]: Listen - that's their call [Calls emanating from the landscape]: tut-tut woke-woke 7 NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]: They are extremely sensitive and fragile... But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery. 8 KIDS [pointing]: There they are! [Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure]. [Little people noises]: woke-woke tut-tut woke-woke 9 [Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]: Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house. [Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]: tut-tut woke-woke 10 MUM [pointing]: What's that one doing there? NT EMPLOYEE: Oh, that's so sweet… 11 [We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away]. NT EMPLOYEE: I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph… 12 [We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]: Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE? [ends]

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Beautiful - the grey cargo pants complement the navy fleece; there's a subtle difference in shade of the open neck shirt. Practical and stylish, it's a look for any season and occasion.

Years ago I looked at doing a similar thing with recorded river flows - and found no climate signal. Not because there isn't one, it's just that the number of records broken isn't a very sensitive statistic in this case.

Far superior the the hokey Silence of the Lambs. Really very chilling.

"52 years an imbecile" is the putative title of my autobiography

This Land is Your Land - Restoring Public Paths Through Nature In the UK, access to public paths is shrinking. Thousands of miles of disused railway lines, canal towpaths and green spaces sit unused or blocked off. Our new policy will transform these forgotten…

Every person should have fair access to Britain’s green spaces, coastlines, and waterways.

Read our plan to unlock them:

Which was Austrian star Peregrine Falco

We should give those seats to the 20 premier league managers

I think there's also an element of historically (maybe?) low inflation from early 90s to early 20s, where we kind of got used to prices not changing much.

But he says "in this strange house" - so he was staying as a guest? This is someone else's chimney. Don't know if this makes it better (excuse for not finding the privvy) or worse (well obviously).

This is brilliant - just ordered one.

This has got "Labour's poll tax" written all over it.

Actually most Elizabethan sonnets were written in the ABABABABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ rhyming scheme

Those Village People already performed at Trump's inauguration - so yep

This has pretty much solved my ultra marathon hydration issues

Gee, that's disgusting! Sorry - Ghee, that's disgusting!
