 Moorhouse Inn

Clive Ponting, the General Belgrano mole, has been acquitted at the Old Bailey of offences under section two of the Official Secrets Act. What a mess this nation of ours is in. The man will not even lose his job and will receive back-pay to August. 

On a lighter note this morning at 9am I began driving lessons again under the tutelage of one Karen Hudson (very Greenham Common/Lib-Lab looking if you ask me). I took to the open road like a duck to water. After some research I can say I last took a driving test on November 20, 1974 in the days when Harold Wilson and Lord Lucan dominated the news and when petrol was 43p a gallon. I did quite well and have some confidence. Dad is very pleased at this.
