    That’s a great shame. If it is built on, I hope they preserve at least some of the airfield.

    With regard to Nigel – as we have said on many occasions; no-one including your good self actually knows what he stands for. That makes him dangerous in my eyes. Several million people all voting for their version of UKIP doctrine, without actually knowing chapter and verse what it stands for. He is a fool in that he underestimates that, and I ascribe my remarks only to him.

    Isn’t that also true of the other parties. How often do they deliver what they promise in their manifestos ?

    I still say that Labour would have won the last election if they had ditched Gordon Brown.

    I shall think of Bruce the next time I’m in a public place, feel like a whizzer, and get Percy out, rather than going behind a convenient tree and then get my collar felt.

    Why not ?, it’s a perfectly natural function. I’m sure nobody would complain 🙂

    As far as what they do or don’t do in Scandinavia, I fail to see the relevance.

    Anyway, they drive on the left

    Alan, there is no doubt that breast is best. .

    I don’t wish to labour the point, but ……………..

    It would seem that not everyone agrees with you :http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1022083/No-breast-ISNT-best-baby–extremists-tell-you.html

    ………..If we are to encourage more breastfeeding, which is by far and away the best solution for every child, we must get over this ridiculous embarrassment, which is not, incidentally shared in every country………….

    You cannot tell people not to be embarrassed.
    I think there are those with more knowledge on this subject, who will tell you that breastfeeding is not the best thing
    for every child, or mother.

    Farage and Brand on next week’s Question Time programme. I can think of few events more predictable!! I wonder what those who watch it will learn from the encounter……:(

    I predict that the whole show will be aimed at trying to bring Farage down. In much the same vein as when they
    had Nick Griffin on there.
    That backfired on the BBC. As the only thing it achieved, was in making David Dimbleby look a complete idiot.

    I hope I am wrong

    “…..UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said women should not breastfeed in public in an “openly ostentatious” way because
    “some people feel very embarrassed by it”…….”

    I completely agree with him on this one, and going by those who phoned LBC on the subject yesterday, so do a lot of
    other people. Including a number of women.

    I’ve seen women breastfeeding in cafes and restaurants, and for the most part, they have done it in a discreet way.
    Trouble is, you also get the attention seeking “earth mothers” who want to make a big show of it.
    Then when they politely asked to cover up, go bleating to the newspapers.

    Still what the heck, it’s another chance to have a go at Farage. 🙂

    Is ‘Nige’ getting desperate? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-30326628

    I just love that couple. They certainly dont mince their words.

    I hope you are right. What is needed is another river crossing, as traffic is only going to increase year on year.

    This is a handy website to look at, and see what roadworks are in the pipeline. http://www.londontraffic.org/dartford/

    I couldn’t find a working camera showing the bridge.

    We don’t travel into Kent much now, not more than a couple of times a year. We used to make regular trips down
    to Canterbury when my wife’s nephew was a chorister at the Cathedral, but those days are long gone.

    Glass half empty, Alan……?;)

    You could say that 🙂

    It’s not unusual for the bridge to be shut, or for one of the tunnels to be closed.

    We got caught coming back from the Eastbourne Airshow, when the bridge was shut for maintenance.
    When crossing into kent, the tool booths had the effect of slowing the traffic down which made it easier to
    get into the correct lane once through.

    I’ll have to look to see if there’s a webcam.

    It will be interesting to see how they are handling the lane filtering.
    Have they lowered the speed limits where the toll booths used to be ?

    It should still be fun when the bridge is shut, or one of the tunnels is closed.

    In the coming months I am sure figures will be published
    showing how much has been levied im fines.

    Whoever gets it.

    I heard somewhere that they plan on making a great deal of money, where people fail to pay in the allotted time.
