Local Boy on Britain’s Got Talent

Dylan, age 12, is at Saint Cecilia’s and is ex-Hotham, so I am informed. Well, what an amazing performance and fantastic voice!

Hammersmith Br

An alternative solution. Not quite sure which group has produced this but might be a better option than arguing about funding for another decade?http://www.hammersmithbridge.solutions/

Make Putney Bloom

first of all I would like to applaud Putney Society's Garden Award scheme 'encourage wildlife', 'reduce risk of flash flooding' & 'improve our health and wellbeing'.What bothers me is the flash flooding element, I have emailed the council numerous times over the last 9 or 10 years asking them to clear blocked drains in Disraeli Road. My last attempt was March 2022 via Councillor John Locker who kindly & quickly escalated my request to Paul Chadwick as a "priority" - needless to say over 1 year later the drains are still blocked. The good news is the blocked drains have weeds and grass growing between the bars every summer, good for the environment I guess.

ULEZ

It's on the news criminals, have been copying other people's number plates to avoid paying the ULEZ charges. Apart from that, if they do something wrong, the police could think it was you did the Bank Robbery etc. this happened to my son a few years ago. Danny who used to be in Danemere St, was working on it for my son. But Danny was now under the arches at Kew Bridge. I got rang by the Police something had happened  in Windsor and they had my sons number plate. Well my son had to let them know it was still being worked in in Kew.

Boris Johnson has called for resignations at The Guardian!

"Boris Johnson has called for resignations at The Guardian following criticism of a cartoon it published featuring the former BBC chair Richard Sharp. The newspaper took down the controversial image on Saturday after critics said it included a series of antisemitic tropes.The former Tory prime minister, who was also depicted in the cartoon – sitting naked atop a pile of excrement and holding two large sacks of money – told The Mail on Sunday: “Frankly, whoever commissioned and printed this has made a far worse mistake than Richard Sharp. They should take his lead.”"https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-richard-sharp-cartoon-guardian-b2329734.htmlIs it just me or does anybody else think that everything is getting even crazier?
