Raab reckons regarding Brexit everything will be fine in 10 years time! He also suggests the EU are making life difficult for our exporters, not sure what he expected, when you leave a club the other members are hardly going to make life easy for you are they? Raab shrugs off Brexit troubles...

This is an interesting piece that details some of the problems British companies are having since Brexit. I am hoping that a lot of the difficulties are simple teething problems that can be ironed out over the next couple of months. There does however seem to be more and more stories...

Good piece here from David Spiegelhalter comparing Covid and seasonal flu. Is Covid more deadly and contagious than seasonal flu? | Coronavirus | The Guardian

I was thinking more along the lines that if they like Welsh stone so much I've got loads here in my garden in North Wales that I could sell them ;)

I've just been reading that there are now more Covid variants causing concern, one in Bristol and one in Liverpool. From what I have heard we are extremely good at doing the science required to find these new variants, possibly the best or one of the best in the world. This suggests to me that...

My wife had notification today, she is getting her second jab (Pfizer) next week. She had her first jab the end of December, so it will be about 6 weeks between each jab.

A quick search on line to see where the IEA get their money from shows just why they have it in for the NHS.

Can you imagine what trouble we would be in if it was say the 9th of September or October instead of the 9th of February, I know its really cold at the moment but at least the nights are getting shorter and we are getting more sun light. If you remember last year the summer seemed to kill off...

I think we only check 1 out of every 30 positive samples to see which of the various types of virus it is. That would suggest instead of 147 examples of the SA virus we have found so far we in reality have 30 times that number. This is assuming that those 147 examples were found from the...

A question for those of you that saw todays Covid briefing. Is the SA variant as infectious as the Kent variant or is it as infectious as the original Covid virus? It was not totally clear to me what JVT was saying about the SA variant, he said it did not appear to be any more infectious than...

Extremely disappointed with this comment, not the content but the fact it's been made at all. I much preferred the enigmatic POLLY that made the smiley symbol to many posts, and one or two posts had the like symbol. Now by actually making a comment POLLY is just like the rest of us:)

I asked my wife today if she knew of anyone in her area that had been given the vaccine and had died sometime later. She said yes she knew of two people. Both of them were in their 80s but a few weeks after getting the vaccine they both died. Cause of death was said to be Covid, I don't think...

Trump was a populist, he give nice simple answers to complex questions. These answers are usually lies, but the problem is, as James Comey the sacked head of the FBI said, Trump showed that lying works. I watch a lot of historical documentaries, many of them on the second world war. I don't...

LBC were reporting something strange this morning, they did not know if it was true or possibly a hoax. They had been told of instances were people going in to get the vaccine and refusing to accept it if it was the Pfizer one and demanding they want the British AZ one or else they did not want...

One of my brothers in law had the vaccine a couple of days ago and it was the Pfizer jab, he went to one of those large vaccination centers in Llandudno North Wales. Everyone at that time was getting the Pfizer vaccine, so I don't know if more supply has come into the country or if they are...

I have two Bosch bikes each with the 500wh battery, however I have not tried swapping the battery packs over. I mentioned to the bike shop that it would be handy for long rides up in the mountains I would be able to take a spare battery pack with me. They told me to be careful, they had heard...
