Colin Milburn on his way to 94 on his Test debut, England v West Indies, 1st Test, Old Trafford, June 4th 1966. Despite scoring 316 runs at 52.66 in the first four Tests the 17 stone Milburn was dropped because of his perceived lack of mobility in the field. "If people want to play for England they've got to think of these things," explained selector Alec Bedser. Milburn responded with 203 in four hours v Essex at Clacton (C)

@Ajaon_of_All @Artemisfornow @sainsburys Brilliant response and for educating us! Very interesting. Now let’s see if @sainsburys have the courage to respond….I suspect they will run away and hide after you exposed their stupidity.

[Jason | 🇬🇧 🇿🇦 🇮🇱🇺🇲 @Ajaon_of_All]

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

Carolyn Davidson was a graphic design student at Portland State University when Phil Knight, who was then teaching accounting part-time, asked her to create a logo for his fledgling shoe company.

She billed the project at $2 per hour and received a total of $35 for her work. The design she produced would eventually become the iconic Nike swoosh.

Twelve years later, in 1983, Knight invited Davidson to a company event and surprised her with a special gift: a gold ring featuring the swoosh logo set with a diamond, along with an envelope containing 500 shares of Nike stock.

Over time, those shares grew in value and are now worth millions of dollars.

A tenant farmer in the Cairngorms says land that sold for £500 an acre a few years ago now goes for £5,000. He is being moved off ground his family has worked for generations, because he cannot outbid the people buying it. The buyers are corporations, and they have no intention of farming a single acre of it.

Here is how the trick works. A company keeps emitting carbon exactly as before. Same factories, same flights, same supply chain, same product. Then it buys a Scottish hillside, plants some trees, and announces to the world that it is now carbon neutral, or, if it is feeling brave, carbon negative. The emissions never fell. It simply bought a landscape to point at.

Take BrewDog. In 2020 it bought a 9,300-acre Highland estate, propped up with public grant money, and promised a million trees and the crown of the world's first carbon negative beer business, removing twice the carbon it emitted, forever. By 2023 roughly half of the 500,000 trees it had managed to plant were dead, killed by drought, with critics noting the planting was drying out the peat and releasing carbon of its own. The advertising regulator ruled its carbon-negative claims misleading. In 2024 it quietly dropped the badge and dismissed the entire carbon credit market as a flood of cheap schemes whose benefit was "questionable, maybe even non-existent." Then it sold the estate to a firm whose actual business is selling carbon offsets.

That is the whole model in one story. Public money in. Dead trees out. A green halo worn for four years and then dropped. The farmer who used to be on that land, gone. The hillside passed to a company that exists purely to sell other people the right to keep polluting.

This is no fringe case. In one recent year, half of every estate sold in Scotland went to investment funds, corporations and charitable trusts rather than anyone who would farm it. A third of the deals for plantable land are now done off-market, in secret, precisely so the local community never gets the chance to bid.

So this is what net zero looks like on the ground. A man who produced food is priced out of his own glen. A corporation that produced emissions buys the glen, calls itself a force for good, and sells the carbon. The land stops feeding anyone. Nobody's emissions actually went down by a gram.

The food was real. The farmer was real. The carbon saving is a line in a slide deck.

And we have somehow decided the villain in all this is the man with the sheep.

Despite Hitler's loathing of cricket, in 1937 an English team — The Gentlemen of Worcestershire — was invited to Nazi Berlin to play a series of matches against a select German XI.

The Germans played on thin, bumpy rolls of matting laid across the centre circle of a state-owned football pitch. Major Maurice Jewell, the 51-year-old captain of the Gents, made 140 in one match; but the grass was so long that he was only able to hit three boundaries.

The German captain, a slight but aggressive blonde-haired Nazi called Gerhard Thamer, was fond of punching fielders who dropped catches off his bowling. At the dinner which marked the end of the tour, Major Jewell complained to the Nazi Minister of Sport, Hans von Tschammer und Osten, about one blow to a junior player. Tschammer und Osten looked nonplussed. “But I understand it was a very simple catch,” he said.

Reporter: Michael, Why don't you commentate in the IPL?
Michael Holding: "I ONLY COMMENTATE ON CRICKET. IPL IS NOT CRICKET.
I don't watch t20 cricket. Not even one ball. T20 will destroy the game I love. It is dumbing down cricket. They should find another name for it."
This statement was made by the legendary Michael Holding 5 years back. 5 years later, he has been proven right. The man is a visionary indeed.
