After last evening's bombshell by the Prime Minister we are informed that we must stay at home and only go out for exceptional reasons.  It is a question how the British public will respond to this.  First of all, we don't have nearly enough police to enforce everything.  Tomorrow, I'm going to pick up a replacement Volvo car (2001 vintage)  from Trowbridge, which is 15 miles away from where I...

I pride myself on having a number of different aspects of my life on the go at any one time. However,  I have come to the conclusion that this is not always a good idea or indeed not necessary.
