Nearly always “user error”. It is, without any doubt, a fact that cars are far, far safer now as technology has improved. Let’s us not forget the main cause of vehicle “accidents” Very quick example, I live in rural Devon, narrow lanes so regularly have to reverse back for someone, especially...

Oh my goodness, who wants to drive a car that is far safer, with all those “safety techno-gizmos” than 15 year old cars! Simply crazy idiots! I have a 21 year old Pick up truck and a new car with lots of these “safety techno-gizmos” I know which one I would rather drive, and feel safer in...

Don’t mind you asking at all Brock, we are currently with BG, not hugely impressed with them or their service, but having done the “compare” thing, they don’t come out to bad. A PHEV may not be for everyone, but it suits us just fine, I did a 54 miles round trip yesterday, averaged 136mpg, 85p...

Not sure your car is a Mild Hybrid Brock, sounds to me like you have a PHEV. Our EV/off peak rate is 7.9p kWh, a charge, according to my app, costs around 85p and I get around 35 miles in the summer.

BBC National News this morning.

Fair point, I was talking England…….34 years Fisheries Enforcement and Riverine Habitat Improvement.

This would not happen Toddy, you would need to be carrying illegal gear in your car to have it seized, going equipped, snares, gaffs, nets etc. Decent points made in your post.

No you couldn’t, the actual polluter is the one whose is responsible, so road run off is not your responsibility. The EA would be responsible for all watercourses, including your stream, should a pollutant enter it.

Absolutely correct.

Which National Park do you live in? It would appear the US has it all wrong, how silly of them! How many US National Parks have you visited, and have you ever spoken to a Ranger?

Is your stream designated “Main River” by the Environment Agency? Any pollution to a watercourse should be reported to the Environment Agency, they are the regulator and enforcer.

I spent 34 years protecting the environment, never heard of the council having the duty of stopping people polluting water, EA,or polluting it themselves. You would have no obligation to remove a branch that had lodged in your stream, unless it is “main river” As for your upstream neighbour...

They already are. We need a system similar to US National Parks for our National Parks, pay to enter, rules and laws are well publicised and ENFORCED by Rangers who have EXACTLY the same powers as a Police Officer, and have no fear in enforcing. Believe me it works, give a US Ranger lip when...

If you have seen our recent local news regarding the trashing of Dartmoor, you would simply ban ALL public access. As for prosecuting these low life who abuse it and ruin it………Dream on, it will never happen!

Good luck with that if you have an arterial cat bleed from a limb!

I totally agree, it seems a very promising looking Sloe harvest. Normally pick end of September and stick in the freezer, hardly get a frost here nowadays, always used to get first frost in October.
