I WANT to pick up on three topical issues. I refer to the forecasted severe weather coming in 50 years time. Weather forecasters can't get it right for the next 24 hours, never mind in 50 years hence.
Once again an inch of snow falls and traffic chaos follows. I see grit wagons pass my house, albeit at 40 mph, and I do not see them emitting much grit on Plodder Lane or any even thrown outwards onto the footpaths. Bury roads don't have our problems as far as I am aware.
Finally, Prince Edward's forthcoming marriage. May I suggest it takes place in the obnoxious Millennium Dome, and we can witness two non-events at the same time.
Although if the Dome can be inverted later and seats put in, it could be used as a barge up and down the Thames to ease the commuter problem in inner London.
