This is already happening. My mother was sent to a private nursing home with an estimated 3 months to death, she lived for two weeks. The care at the nursing home and the staff were wonderful.

Pleasing to hear that Goodwin’s awful opinions cut through to the electorate and they could work out who to support to stop him.

I’ve been going round the bereavement teams at many banks and until I got to HSBC they were all great. They made me bring a pile of documents into the branch, kept me eating for an hour and a half, then got the wrong reference number for the death certificate and made me do it all again.

It is a culverted river and a pretty significant channel so yes, I imagine the structure of the culvert and opening it is the issue. I’m going to try and get back to Sheffield for a look.

Wessex have done an excellent job at the castle. I bet most of that cost is the engineering for the river. I was working on the castle over 20 years ago with ARCUS.

I’d left Durham earlier that year. When I was in gradsoc I lived in one of the Georgian houses on Old Elvet, on Mountjoy Crescent and finally in Fonteyn court

I was living in the middle of the countryside near Flint and travelling back to Durham. A couple if times I did not get the train, late on in the outbreak, driving through Westmoreland past empty fields and army checkpoints.
