LazyDaisy Jul 2022 6:53am, 19 Jul 2022 36,328 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy Agree, Sigh. The couple next door to us have four kids ranging from 7 down to about 2 years old. Three boys and a girl. The younger boys do a lot of screaming at each other and the parents don't do anything to stop it. Summer hols are going to be fun! We've had exactly that for the last three years except they're all girls for us. I keep hoping they'll grow out of it but no joy so far. Bloody trampolines don't help. Things should be banned IMO

Eynsham Red Jul 2022 6:30pm, 20 Jul 2022 8,876 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red Poor imaging by the BBC on the news that approval for Sizewell C power station has been granted. They broadcast an aerial view of some random power station on the coast which wasn’t the existing Sizewell A & B power stations.
Surrey Phil Jul 2022 6:34pm, 20 Jul 2022 8,374 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I'm off there in a couple of weeks. Sizewell C is going to be much bigger than the other two reactors and will affect so much countryside, wildlife, National Trust and the nearby RSPB Minsmere. Really bad news!
