This country has a great deal to offer (except in the field of leadership at the top). Our ruling elite have become rotten (which is why they allow our foreign competitors to govern us). No wonder Britain is not working. What a distinguished surname too! This country has a great deal to offer (except in the field of leadership at the top).

Perhaps his former tutors meant: "Won't amount to anything in the UK"? In which case they could have had a point - this is hardly the land of opportunity for young people at the moment- even graduates are being sent to Poundland to work for free. Still I hope his parents don't harbour any resentment towards Wyvern ;) Well done that young man!

The more we develop gren firld sites that once bore crops, the more difficult it will become not to rely upon imported foodstuffs. The Highbridge scheme is a very good one indeed that produces some fine crops... I know through a couple of friends who have a plot there who grew some of the biggest parsnips I have ever seen. We still have to await the response from EBC to see where the story takes us all next. Good points Greg about growing our own food.

Someone made a comment: "We know there's going to be a time when this world just can't grow enough food through farms". As our oil starts to run out, we need to be more resilient - grow our own food, and rely less on food being transported to shops and supermarkets - a big carbon footprint. This is a great achievement for Alex and Eastleigh and District Allotments! Allotments should be incentives for growing your own food, and by reducing this price, it'll mean more people will be able to want them. Eastleigh Transition Network has Highbridge Community Farm project - a community space to grow your own. Anyone waiting for allotments can join this for just £10 a year - as long as you put in 10 hours a month towards the work. Email highbridgefarmcp@gmail.com if you are interested.

I would have to agree with that assessment. In the case of parking problems outside people's homes, certainly something had to be done to stop commuters using the roads as a free car park. But surely the cheapest and most efficient answer would have been to limit parking to 2 hours except for cars displaying a valid permit. How much would a permit cost...perhaps £5 to issue. The policing of the scheme goes on anyway, so there would be no difference in policing costs. The current scheme costs residents dearly but I'm not sure how much.
