The longest fence in the world is in Australia. It is slightly longer than the distance between N.Y. & London. Called the "Dingo Fence" for keeping the wild dogs out of places where they shouldn't be.

It's been renamed Yr Wyddfa and the National Park formerly Snowdonia is now Eryri. No-one outside Wales will ever use those names though.

I wonder if any future Democrat government will change it back, or will that be seen as unpatriotic.

Very few inside Wales will use it. The Welsh nationalist campaign, which is basically an anti English campaign is a sick joke. It only really exists in North Wales and when you consider that the English have taken over north Wales they are a mere lunatic fringe. The south Welsh can’t stand these toytown patriots and think they give the Welsh a bad name. The Welsh language only survives in north Wales as children are made to learn it at a very early age and some schools will only use that language. I’m all for the preservation of the Welsh language but it should be taught like a second language, as in other schools which teach French and German. Welsh nationalists can be quite fanatical and have proven to be like terrorists in the past, burning second homes of English owners but the fanaticism is receding as North Wales becomes more and more Anglicised.

Before alarm clocks people put nails in strategic places in candles. As the wax melted the nail would fall out & "clink" on the metal candle holder. This "clinking" sound would hopefully wake up the sleepy head.

Turning civilians into soldiers for WWII picked up speed as units prepared to head overseas. Pocket guidebooks were issued to help G.I.'s learn about the locals they would encounter being the Ambassadors of Good Will they were. For those headed to England. The British, don't know how to make a good cup of coffee. You don't know how to make a good cup of tea. It's an even swap. A special glossary explained that in England: Dust bin = trash can Lift = elevator First floor = second floor Flicks = movies Dickey = rumble seat

What is a service user? Give up? Will it’s the word the government uses to describe illegal immigrants. I love a good euphemism but when you think about it, that’s exactly what they are, I would add none contributing service user. Because of a lack of cosy hotels the government were forced to put them in ex forces accommodation and frankly they’re not happy about it, I mean would you when everybody else is in cosyhotels? Some four star London hotels £300 a night min and get your arse wiped for you? No need to use your fingers. Moving on. Naturally they’ve smashed up the administration offices and equipment for starters. That will teach them. Fortunately they are supplied with free buses to carry them into the local town where they can share their multiculturalism with the locals and I don’t think they’re happy, the ungrateful bastards. Maybe it’s taking all the stolen goods the camp security find on them when they return going missing from villager’s houses. Only one of them has been arrested for sexual assault and shipped out, word of advice security, keep a few more seats available. The threat is diminishing though as what looks like about 70 names on the gone missing sheet including some with communicable diseases such as tuberculosis won’t be bothering them until they’re caught and returned, not home of course, even though they are being offered handsome sums of money to do so, the camp I mean.

Starmer is looking to take old members of the SAS from the Irish trouble days to court. His human rights friends are looking for a new government payout
