Shall we have another Justsmudge fascinating fact? 🌹🌱 Roses 🌱🌹 We've all seen them, stories tell tales of them, even the Bible blames Eve on rose thorns!💃 But did you know that rose fossils have been found in the USA confirming that they existed 35 million years ago? That's even older than me ☕

Many sharp-tipped petals, white with heavy magenta picotee

Many sharp petals, white with deep magenta throats that peter out into speckles

Mostly white, many fat petals, an ethereal scattering of magenta freckles

When someone says we are going to build Nuclear to 'protect our energy supply' and you find out it will take 20-25 years and cost 10x as much per Watt as Renewable. Do you not realize it is a scam?

Stupid Idea. King’s Cross to remove trains from departure board three minutes before they leave. So people make a mad dash, go to wrong platforms, to find train cancelled/delayed. Want to reduce rush - need to run more trains, affordable prices, punctual, better infrastructure.

In their 2024 manifesto Labour promised to 'champion Scotland,' now they're scaling back community investments. Labour's manifesto wasn't about 'Change' - it was about short-changing Scotland. As Burns said, 'An honest man's word is his bond' - if only Labour knew the meaning.
