Just a little note to ALL councils in England and Wales.
Now is the time to clear the drains in the roads that you haven't cleared for years.
Because, when the rain eventually comes, there WILL be floods and using Climate Change is not going to work!
This especially applies to Gwynnedd Council.

A lane is closed on the #A12 southbound between J30 #Dedham and J29 #Colchester due to a collision

There is around 4 miles of congestion on approach which is adding about half an hour to normal journey times

Morning David Lammy.

Another day, another 75 courtrooms sit completely empty while victims wait.

Will you open them? Will you put judges in them? Can we hold rape trials in them please?

Might it be an idea to do this - rather than restrict jury trial for thousands of people?

Go for gold. Tomorrow is the last day to order an adoption in time for Christmas. A great gift that supports care for 200,000+ objects.

Choose an object and adopt today: https://t.co/DZSwmPMPod

When the cameras rolled for the last time back in July, it was time for some emotional words from the cast and crew. There really wasn't a dry eye in the house 😭

[National Highways: East @HighwaysEAST]

The #M25 is now CLOSED anti-clockwise between J25 (#WalthamCross) and J24 (#PottersBar) due to this ongoing incident.

The clockwise carriageway is also closed between J23 (#A1M) and J25 for Air Ambulance arrival.

Please plan ahead if travelling in the area this afternoon.

@yourcolchester That looks good. It would be lovely to have a Christmas market here perhaps?

It's going to be a difficult few days for racists across the country. No sooner do we discover the attacker was a British man called Anthony Williams, than we discover the rail worker hero who almost gave his life to save passengers on his train is called Samir Zitouni.

IF I GET DEMENTIA…..
I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Dad - it’s Amanda.”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.

• If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.

• If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.

• If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.

• If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.

• If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.

• If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.

• If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.

• If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.

• If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

• If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.

• If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.

• If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.

• If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.

• If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live. With a bus and activities!!

• If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.

• If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places.
Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.

• If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.

• If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.

• If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.

• If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.

• If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”

ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.

@Colchesterviews I heard that he was getting some lawyers involved and it could have taken months and cost us thousands to sort out, so I think £500 is preferable. That's just my opinion obviously.

[Su Harrow @elephantsu]

@NatWest_Help No, but thanks for getting back to me so quickly 😊
