Morning Chris, have a great day 👍🏻

Happy Friday, after some early rain, the sun is out, feels a lot cooler today. Have to put some clothes on, popping into town to get some mouthwash and lightbulbs - crikey isn’t my life exciting? 🤣

By rejoining the EU, UK could expect a 6% growth in GDP. Just imagine for one moment how that could revolutionise our social & public services without the need for tax rises? That’s the madness of Brexit, it’s made us all poorer, while the idiots look the other way and pretend it’s not happening 🤷🏻‍♂️

On this day in 1987 and the morning of the 16th, the most powerful storm to hit the UK in 300 years ripped apart Southern England with peak sustained winds of 100mph & gusts of 120mph, 18 people were killed, millions of trees uprooted, roofs ripped off, roads and rail devastated. I remember it well.

Andy Burnham is finally listening to a growing majority of us Brits that want to rejoin the EU. Brexit has been a total failure, it’s about time someone stood up and admitted it and put into action a way forward to right the mistake. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💙💙🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺 commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

Started off the week with a half hour appointment at the dentist, had to have my chipped front tooth repaired with bonding, filling and restored to level. My neck is killing me, but I can smile now without that awful chipped tooth showing. 😮‍💨😁

Salisbury Cathedral’s spire added around 1320 is still the UK’s tallest spire, it was measured by Sir Christopher Wren in 1668 and he found it had leaned by 75mm. In those 358 years the spire has stayed stable, it speaks volumes of the medieval workmanship that built such a wonder.

A photo I saw on our local town FB group. Andover High Street in June 1953 celebrating the Coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II. What amazes me is the dress, back then no leisure clothes, women in dresses, all men wore suits. It was a different time.

Just when you think Trump’s government can’t sink any lower, they go into the drain. Utterly disgusting, barbaric and shameful, and it’s breaking United Nations laws. This is why I fervently disagree with the death penalty, it does not deter crime and makes the state no better than the criminal
