You fail to appreciate that all the visiting Brazilians will stay in
tents in Cassiobury Park next to Watford Met station and will all
expect to be taken to Wembley behind a Deltic.

This noisy Burke could set back the campaign for the Croxley rail link
by years!

The SAS man was Tom McClean who was sent by Maggie to live in a box for 40
days on Rockall. I wonder why the box had a "Barrett" sticker on the side?
I also wonder why he was allowed to illegally use Amatuer Radio frequencies
to chat to his brother back in Scotland? At least Helen Sharman was given an
Amateur Callsign to use when she went into Space.

I think you'll find that Starbucks are opening an outlet on Rockall in
the next few weeks, as it's the only place in the country that doesn't
have one yet!

Mostly because people are uninterested in expensive talking shops. At
least Scotland gets a Parliament (and Wales is on the way to it) --
but, frankly, I'd be surprised if regional assemblies ever get
anywhere, as the vast majority of people in England, I suspect, feel
no identity with their "region".
