It seems to be the government policy to build high density housing .
Blocks of flats going up let right and centre .
It's sad that people have to live like this especially families with children .
Where do they play and even at home they mustn't make too much noise .
Children should have a garden to play in .

Also other people may be annoyed by people above below and to the side of them .
A bad neighbour is bad everywhere but must be worse in a flat .

Yet it would seem inevitable that at some point I will end up in a flat as so many old people do especially when they are left alone .
Would rather live in a little house with some outdoor space .
Although a pent house flat with a terrace for pots  sounds OK
But AFAIK flats in the U.K. seem to have tiny balconies if any and no storage for people so they stuff everything on the balconies .
Why don't they build nice ones?

At the moment live in a bungalow with large garden ( by the standards of today not by mine )
But at least quiet and away from the maddin crowd .

Love 'em! 

Interesting fact 

What an awful thing to happen .
I think its quite difficult to stop those big ships if they are going full steam .

I had terrible chilblains when I was a child .
I can only imagine it was from inadequate footwear and waiting at bus stops 
I was always cold .
I don't think anyone gets chilblains nowadays ?  

Queen Mary and her sister ship Queen Elizabeth were the largest fastest troopships of the war, able to carry 15,000 troops per voyage. She was involved on 2nd October 1942 in an accidental collision wth one of escorts, the light cruiser HMS Curaçao which was cut in half with the loss of 338 men of her crew of 437. The Queen was under strict orders not to stop under any circumstances, the rescues were performed by her escorts

Lovely outside today, time for a coffee in the garden before the weekly trip to Mc Donalds later.

Quote from: Raven on Yesterday at 02:22:16 PMI don't understand why this is even happening 🤷 war is a terrible thing and people from all sides lose their lives in it. IMO, if anyone should get the blame for it and carry the can, it's the one/s who started the war, not the soldiers who were ordered to go and fight in it.

Spot on Raven
