Useless train arrangements, high petrol and other motoring taxes, poor road maintenance and winter gritting and snow clearance - yes that's Britain !

Welsh Place Names - history rubbed out !

Several Welsh counties had their historical names 'reconstructed' into Welsh. My mother was proud of be born in Monmouthshire. Gwent meaningless. That's the Welsh for you 'making' Welsh out of a language regardless of the origins of place names.

BBC NEWS | World | Americas | US electoral system explained Hello fans - This backs up my numerous comments on Twitter (@colin1949) in support of the US Primary electoral system that, if we had it in the UK, would enable MPs seeking election to be chosen before an election. This would stop nutters serving when another better candidate of the same Party could be chosen.
