What a relief to know that the Whitehouse have the same difficulties dealing with tradespeople as we all do.

A former Olympian has had charges dropped against him having being accused of ‘vandalising’ the Reflecting Pool having stopped while riding by on his bicycle and noticing bits of blue plasticised paint protruding from the green water. Mistakenly, he was accused of pulling at some of the liner and was immediately arrested.

However, Court documents that are now filed say that the information “strongly suggests that a rushed and botched installation” job overseen by the US Department of the Interior led to the damage.

David Hearn, the champion canoeist wants an apology from the President and is upset at the trauma he has suffered at having a potential jail sentence of ten years hanging over his head for the last few months. It’s not clear what has happened to the other people who were charged with vandalism.

Amusing to find out that Trump himself chose the contractor and also he did not let anyone else bid for the job , so the DOI were working with their hands tied and also being forced to get the job done quickly to beautify Washington prior to the 4th July 250th Anniversary Celebrations.

I wonder how the ballroom is doing?

Really good news that Oxfordshire County Council has won it’s legal case against a small group of people who persisted in putting the George Cross Flag up in public areas, particularly lamp posts. The costs involved and the threats that were made to Council employees were despicable and had nothing to do with “patriotism”. They were indeed a safety risk on public roads, being a distraction for drivers and also endangered people who had to trespass and cause an obstruction to put them up.

The injunction now in place means any person breaching the order could face prison, a fine or having their assets seized.

People can still fly flags on their own property which is fine, self-expression is fine as long as it’s not offensive which the George Cross Flag certainly isn’t , either is the Union Jack which apparently Oxfordshire County Council display on their Civic Buildings.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

This article made me laugh. I remember when I had my flat and my mum used to come down from Scotland to visit me that she would tidy my flat and take the rubbish into town and drop it in a public bin. I never thought anything about it, but now I wonder how many other people do it.

Cullompton Council are not happy that they are having to service the bins in their parks more frequently than necessary because people are using them to drop household waste and it is not waste generated by the park goers who presumably have waste that isn’t classified as “Household Waste”.

No empty cereal packet boxes, no empty toilet cleaner plastic bottles,no plastic hair shampoo bottles, no used toothbrushes….well I suppose when you think of it , it would be pretty obvious that these are not things that you need for a walk in the park.

I can feel an authoritative signage moment coming on …..

NO HOUSEHOLD WASTE IN PARK BINS
