That indeed is another argument, to which Kev alludes when he writes ” the deprivation of liberty, of rights and freedoms…” Yes, prison has to be a punishment in every sense of the word and you imply that it is not. I have no personal knowledge of prison but have read as much as we all have on the subject.

Lovely stuff, Blue – a sweet sound.:D And thanks for bowing to public demand!! As if I doubted you……;)

Just back from a pleasant amble though Hangars 2,3,4 and 5 at Duxford to see how the Winter is progressing and as luck would have it the combination of grey cool weather and the inability of parents to get their children out of bed meant that it was very quiet for the first couple of hours.:)

Kev – #68. The last paragraph of your thoughtful piece sums it up neatly. Thank you.

No advice, BB, as I’ve never been, but just thoughts of lucky old you and to wish you a really wonderful trip. We will need to see the photo album, of course!!;)

Sorry, I am well aware the lovely Harry is a boy and I didn’t mean Anna, either – but we have a terrific Border Terrier bitch in the family, so they all get tarred with the same brush – sorry, Anna!:) But it sounds as though Harry needs the heavy hand!

Just seeing the latest picture of Flygirl’s baby beagle!!:):)

All together…aaaaaahhhhhh! But she’s cute, isn’t she?:)
