@Wise_Children Bloomin lovely! Presents an interesting insulation challenge! Bennett Centre had the same story 200 yds from you, might be worth seeing what they did next?

[Peter Macfadyen @Peterffloyd]

Great plan @PamBarrettBfl ... I searhed how to join, and there is a nice encouraging lady pictured called Liz Truss.
I think I'd like defence or goalkeeping as a portfolio.

In other words, it's just nonsense that governments are keeping '1.5 alive': they're not even close. Time to chuck that soup at the painting, and wake the hell up. It's not working. #climate #COP27 #FreeAlaa

@DamonHooton @DanielMumby @SomersetCouncil Apologies, I don't remember you at any of the town hall ones - they were open for the public with no agenda and no proposals - just looking at the options. My general grump about people (not you!) failing to attend consultations then coming out of the woodwork later remains!
