The glorious first few weeks in September. Only retired teachers know the meaning of true happiness as they watch the children go to school through the front window. Nearly time to stop mowing the lawn. Nothing in the Telegraph worth reading before page 17. Now is the time to start blogging rather than just posting and help to bring down the government. I started out as "goderich" but took umbrage and changed to f.r. after having a posting inexplicably deleted by iain dale.

I begin with a posting arising out of amazement at the BBC's News24 news at 2pm today. The reaction it got on Guido encouraged me to start the blog.
