Never can there have been more of an unsuitable place to play football than in this scorching desert country that has never played in a world cup. Playing football in June and…

Heated Roads is the Answer to Snow Chaos
December 2009 and January 2010 were bad winter months for snow and ice here in the UK. This country can’t cope with transport chaos that snow causes. Our roads are over crowded so that when we do get snow cars grind to a halt. Even our trains don’t seem to like snow and our airports…

How About This For An Idea!
It’s official. The UK is now in recession, as if we didn’t already know! Everyday, I hear of shops closing and established businesses being denied credit from their bank.
