Just found out that there are people earning over £100,000 who still use a state subsidised council house! For example – Bob Crow, the general secretary of the RMT union has a council house and earns £145,000 This is ridiculous! These people should be kicked out or made to pay proper market rents for these [...]

So, yes, I do get away every now and then….. I went off for one night on a cycle ride from Windsor to Bath mainly on the National Cycle Route 4 which in the main part goes along from Reading to Bath along the Kennet and Avon Canal. A wonderful cycle route along a very [...]

Every now and again I hear of something that just gets me a bit mad. Today I heard from a friend who was recently travelling out to Lagos Nigeria who told me that almost everyone he spoke to on the flight who was travelling in First Class with him, was working for one of the [...]

WE had so many friendly people staying – they were all chatting to each other over breakfast – it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves. [...]
