I was only using your words Mark, long time since I’ve been called babe mind. You are university educated and blessed with the ability to “get it” as I’m often told. If you can’t work out the rest then 😞🤷‍♂️😂

 

Where does this hangup about universities stem from? It's cropped up a lot recently. I must have missed that little episode on here.

Any of you going to help David Attenborough out with this honourable venture? I think you're all local-ish. I chipped in earlier.

Ok, I thought you hailed from the NW, but no matter, my mistake.

 

Doesn't make much difference though, you could still contribute to a good cause.

You know where Rothbury and Northumberland actually are ?. 
Lining the Percy’s pockets. 
They should be handing it over for free.

No, not much idea at all really. It's all a long way away from the west midlands, and even further away from the south west. 

 

Yes, they should be handing it over for free, but they're not unfortunately. That's why they're so obscenely rich. So dear David needs donations. You could still contribute. It's good to help sometimes, rather than just complain and criticise.

Yup, saw this on TV last night and made a suitable donation.

 

It is a nice part of the world, you should take a trip up there (Kielder on the edge of this plot of land is one of the UKs dark skies areas - great for stars, and the RAF will blast up and down there every now and then to wake you up). For reference just east of the middle of the country, about 25 to 30 miles from Blyth so not too far away from any of us.
