Back on the Bus

Back on the bus earlier today on my way home. Two elderly ladies boarded and one was obviously very lame. I was heartened to see that two young people who were occupying seats at the front of the bus , gave up their seats so that these ladies could get seated close to the door. (Isn't it nice not be be constantly slagging off the kids of today).

Take a look at this link to the Bownessy Monster, spotted by some people out  in a Kayake on lake Windermere.

Any  ideas what you think it is ?
Apparently it was the "size of three cars"
All i can think is -- it must have once been one heck of a big tree --lol

The Politics of Fear

Riding the bus, as i often do now , i tend to chat to those around me, just to pass the time of day.
Talking to an elderly lady the other morning , she remarked on the changes the current government are making to so many different areas of our lives . As she commented on the many things that would affect her, i noticed as she spoke about the changes to the benefit and pensions systems , that her voice became filled with fear, regarding the ongoing changes.
How proud our government ministers must be to be frightening the elderly and the infirm , with their ongoing rhetoric about the savings they are going to make in the welfare system.
It makes you proud to be British.
