Yes, though alas arts has gone, and you get more history now on Channel 5.

Nah.

ha! Those were the days...

Tips for the next DG:

1 - Don't stake your future on impartiality. Perfect impartiality is impossible. Focus on accuracy and accountability. Let journalists and producers do their job. If they get it badly wrong, sack them.

2 - Reverse the deliberate, prolonged cut to arts programming.

We are full of wind turbines here in Southern Scotland, which is totally fine by me. Solar is a whole different issue, because it means eradicating farmland and industrialising landscape to a far greater extent. And that's before you factor in the need to rely more on gas to make it effective, etc.

Yup. And it won't be the last.

I fear you are right dear Chris. V few people here to object to it...

You have hit the nail on the head. The land is cheap and there are very few people to object.

This is a Lidar scan showing the route towards Lauder of Dere Street, the Roman road into Scotland. The proposed Woodhead Energy Park goes directly over the Roman road.

Here is the view to Threepwood Moss, a rare Lowland bog which is a site of special scientific interest. Just to the right is where a battery storage park will be built, comprising 68 container-sized batteries.

Someone set a target, and now it has to be met.

It’s v interesting, if you look at the footage as they step down from the altar, the Pope clearly says to Charles, ‘did you see the tapestries?’, pointing to them.

Not only a great portrait by Gainsborough (of his nephew, Gainsborough Dupont), but in as-new condition. Once upon a time, all Gainsboroughs looked like this, but the delicacy of his technique means many have suffered over the years.

Many thanks Elle ! Glad you like it. B
