"Southern Water apologises after Winchester milestone removed."

So there's a mile stone on the Andover Road just outside Winchester, it's been there for 100s of years, guess who digs it up and then dumps it along with a load of other building waste in the local landfill?

Yep, step forward Southern Water.

In 2004, the BBC warned the Maldives were "soon to be uninhabitable," claiming sea levels were rising 0.9 cm per year and that 80% of the islands could vanish within a century.

More than two decades later though, reality says otherwise.

The Maldives haven't sunk, they've exploded with growth: 12 new airports, expanded international terminals, record tourism of over 2 million visitors a year, and more than 170 resorts, with 7 added in 2024.

Instead of disappearing under the waves, this so-called "paradise in peril" has shown no statistically significant sea level rise since the 1980s, according to satellite data.

Here we have another 'climate catastrophe' headline completely undone by time.

Great kit, but not in the same league as the Pontoon Bridge.

Had a great time at Colours '25 today. Andy and Doug's 28mm collection is both amazing and beautiful! This is the centre of Waterloo between Hougemont and La Haie Sainte at about 5pm - the waves of French heavy cavalry attack the Allied squares.

The Amwell Magna Fishery is home to the last remaining breeding population wild brown trout in the River Lee between Hertford and the Thames.

Trout who's ancestors almost 10,000 years ago swan down the river Rhine in Germany, across Doggerland and into the Thames and the Lee.

And guess who's trying to destroy them. Yes, our old friends @EnvAgency You really can't make this stuff up.
