There's some doofuses out there! No one below semi professional level could get a point from someone like Williams.

YouGov @yougov.co.uk · 4h

While 15-18% of Britons reckon they could score a penalty against an England goalkeeper, and 7% think they could take a point off Serena Williams, just 2% believe they could win a bout against a sumo wrestler, as London plays host to the Grand Sumo Tournament this week

We never got around to watching that series, we heard too much negativity about it to begin.

1/ Just look at these vivid autumn colours at Callow Hollow, one of the beautiful valleys of the Long Mynd. The steep slopes were picked out in the bright sunshine, but I needed some shadows to add depth to the picture. It felt like only a few minutes before ... #Shropshire

The Government deserves credit for seeking expert advice on how the UK can adapt to climate change by 2050. With increasingly frequent and severe weather events driven by climate change, the need for urgent action is undeniable.

Totally, I remember discussing with someone years ago about the traditional fishing industry around Greece was disappearing, they hadn't grasped that it was probably due to the bigger companies and low fish stocks because of it.

Bottom trawling needs to be banned too, awful practice.

#265 Portree Sunset, Skye, Scotland, 03/01/2015

After a long day travelling from Fort William because we had to stop every 5 seconds because there was a photograph to be had we stopped briefly in Portree and caught the last of the sunset over the distant Cuillin.

I gave up fish about 4-5 years ago after seeing the huge trawlers on a TV documentary sucking up everything in the huge nets. It's so sad to see things like this.

"Very idea that humans might become so voracious as to empty the seas of fish seemed absurd only a few short years ago. Today scientific evidence points to a brutal reality -.
In barely a generation, humans have exhausted most prolific creatures on the planet"

📣Good news!
Wicken Fen Nature Reserve has recorded 10,000 species of wildlife making it the first known UK site to do so. Records date back 200 years, in the 20th century 13 species new to science were discovered, and in the last 25 years records have surged as the reserve expanded.
