@Feargal_Sharkey The sites sampled on the Itchen and Candover are all way above any Southern Water WWTW. I am part of the team so know the locations well. Road runoff and septic tanks are most likely the cause. But investigations continue.

@DCross_psycho9 He was an apprentice at Coventry and lodged with my Nan. Made it to the first team but for some reason Noel Cantwell sold him to Norwich. Went to his wedding!

@Feargal_Sharkey @WATERSHED_i An excellent piece of work. If you then follow the link to the source of data (EA surveys it) shows we have a major problem. Groundwater contaminated by whatever has been thrown on the land over the last 50 years and our rivers a cocktail of pharmaceuticals. Then we drink it.

@shoza11 Richard - Thanks so much for having a chat with my 93 old mother today. She was utterly thrilled. Top Man

@sommecourt @OldFrontLinePod @ApplePodcasts Moving stuff. My grandad volunteered the day WW1 broke out and was in France as a driver in the RHA from Nov 5th 1914. Survived uninjured but never ever spoke about his experiences. Gave his medals to his son to play with and all that remains is his 1914 star. If only.

@Blacky_Himself @TheJimMurray The uncomfortable truth is many chalkstream fisheries are run as commercial enterprises. The punters are sold the promise of catching large trout and at the price they are paying it is what they expect. Hence overstocking with large fish

[Martin Miles @Miles9Miles]

@stuartpengs I fish the southern chalkstreams. Up until the late 70s they would catch more salmon in a week than is now caught all season. The key issue is what happens out at sea. So few smolts make it back.

@CCHQPress It seems every village in Oxfordshire has 20mph speed limits. At times it seems very restrictive but if it saves a child’s life then it is something I support. Adaptive cruise control is really useful!

[Martin Miles @Miles9Miles]

@SkyBluesExtra I was there. Strachan was unbelievable. Justin Edinburgh was talked about as an England international. Strachan ran him ragged and Justin was never the same again. Confidence utterly destroyed.

@jbanningww1 @UkNatArchives My great uncle was KIA that day. Gunner WJ Miles and part of tank crew A13. The tank got stuck on the German front line near St Pierre Devion. He with his tank commander got out of the tank and were killed. Both lie buried together in Mill lane cemetery.

@deanocity3 I was there too. Had a makeshift defence with Terry Yorath playing centre half. I recall for one of the Cyrillic goals Jim Blyth seemed to avoid making a save to avoid getting hurt by the speed of the ball! To cap the day got a parking ticket too.

@joanne_buckley7 @TheSkyBlueHub Just one of the downsides to not owning our own stadium!

@Feargal_Sharkey @Ofwat One of the plans to replace London’s lost water is to pump Birmingham’s treated waste water down the grand union canal to top up London’s reservoirs. Technically perfectly acceptable but oh dear what a shambles.

[Martin Miles @Miles9Miles]

@BBCr4today Good to hear the apologist for the water industry being properly interviewed this morning. Thanks to people like Feargal, the country has woken up to the English people being robbed blind by the mostly foreign owned water companies

[Martin Miles @Miles9Miles]

@Blacky_Himself Lessons for you and all of us Mike.
Nobody is invincible, we are all getting older and don’t be taken ill at night. Get well soon
NHS has been done for by austerity, Covid and Brexit.

@sommecourt @colour_history If not for an accident in training my father would have been one of them, or worse. Missed the Rhine crossing too, then was shipped to India to fight the Japanes. The atomic bomb put paid to that, otherwise I probably would not be here.

[Martin Miles @Miles9Miles]

@SkyBluesExtra Kelly is the back up for Sheaf. I suspect they thought they could keep Gus. By the time he went nothing much left available at a reasonable cost.
Let’s hope there are targets teed up for January.
In the meantime we are going to have to change to playing a more direct game.

[Martin Miles @Miles9Miles]

@michaelrenwick_ @TheSkyBlueHub I meant Huddersfield. I thought Ben was also culpable for at least 1 of the WBA goals. His distribution has always poor but has made up for it with his shot stopping.

[Martin Miles @Miles9Miles]

@michaelrenwick_ @TheSkyBlueHub I forecast that Collins will be in goal for the WBA game.
