Might not go to this quiz again

The wife and I were made to sit apart again in the Famous Ship Quiz, no-one else gets this treatment, wonder what's going on? We don't win every week, but ironically Clare has won each time we've been made to play apart...

"FUN" quiz, every Tuesday at the Famous Ship Inn. No current affairs, brush up on your military history, geography, and religion. A bottle of wine for the winner.

The quiz at the ship is GREAT, surprise question master this week was the wife's cousin, but I SWEAR this is not how we won. It all came down to a tie breaker in the end, set by the landlord (who is not a relation) on how much the bus fare was from Barcelona airport to the town...

It's a friendly quiz, but I'm not sure how friendly it's going to stay if we win again next week. Might have to put more effort into a funny team name and less into the questions, as some of the players there seem to do. Man, they do not like Dave the Dolphin for some reason...

Trent developments are bypassing the council

They're going direct to the government for their building certificate, so the council have missed their chance to approve or reject Trent and Godden's plans...

RE: Trent developments are bypassing the council

WHAT? Sneaky buggers! How can we stop it? Is physical protest the only thing left to protect our town from these vandals?

Write to the secretary of state

That's who it is with now. Here is the town planning act, in case that is of any interest:

Secretary of State's powers concerning plans

Direction to reconsider proposals.

17.—(1) After a copy of a unitary development plan has been sent to the Secretary of State under section 13(3) and before it is adopted by the local planning authority, the Secretary of State may, if it appears to him that the plan is unsatisfactory, direct the authority to consider modifying the proposals in such respects as are indicated in the direction.

(2) An authority to whom a direction is given shall not adopt the plan unless they satisfy the Secretary of State that they have made the modifications necessary to conform with the direction or the direction is withdrawn.
