I'm not entirely convinced about the DNA results from Ancestry, or associate much value to them. Maybe more of a novelty than anything else? Myself, my wife and son in law have references to Iceland which cannot be correct (in my opinion). The only reason I can think is that the Norwegian link...

Names and their spelling are always a problem. I've seen some in later 1800s censuses incorrectly translated by maybe not that interested census recorders. Or the fact that the people on the census didn't know how to spell their names, so couldn't correct them. I wonder at times if thy were...

Correct! We won't go there now, even though we're on the border. Driving all day at 20mph isn't my idea of a day out. I just don't know why 25mph wasn't selected, that works perfectly well in France. But as you say, that is Wales for you. But I do have to say that Mark Drakeford always looked...

Sorry, misunderstood

I find this interesting and only just seen the post. As with everyone else, I have written my own program. The difficulty with biological, step, adopted etc of different fathers has not occurred in my trees. To me only the biological father is of interest, as they are the ones that take the...

I wonder if Ukraine is too fearful of Putin's response even if it indicated it might join NATO. But I do think that the Starmer visit is a part of his attempt to brand himself as more an international politician. It may be more helpful to him if XI didn't ignore him as he did at Davos.

In Britain they are referred to in the press, on TV news and Parliament almost universally as Pakistani Grooming Gangs and many, many times on GBNews as Pakistani R*p* Gangs. Is it not time to call a spade a spade? Anyway the Home Secretary, that damn Cooper woman is to start five enquires to...

When will this pointless posting be shut down?

We see 2Tier Starmer has skuttled off to Ukraine to offer them lord knows what. Ukraine, the country run by a comedian who thought it was a good idea to take Russia on and then spent most of his time flying here and there begging money for his disastrous adventure. Little doubt that as some...

That's a good name for Crazy Sturgeon. The last remaining Scottish fishwife. She's' often been likened to the little one in the Krankies. She's not unlike the terrible Calman woman, maybe her cousin? Murrell was married to the fish lady for 20 years apparently, what a delight that must have...

Same. The BBC is mainly run by a bunch of Loony Labour Liberal socialist luvvies. It will restrict certain aspects of the news and is evangelical when it comes to global warming, or whatever they call it. With little regard to the truth, science, or balanced opinion.

I'm guessing this will be much longer. The cases you mentioned would probably only need to reconnect to the existing infrastructure. Any substations damaged will need replacing along with all of the wiring. Plus all underground cables for broadband and telephones. The drains, which will be...

Where will all the people live in the interim, possibly many years? The whole infrastructure will need to be replaced before building houses can start. From what I read there appears to be hardly anyone in authority who could manage the operation. The impression I get from the criticism in the...

This Stalinist government in Britain now wants to nationalise the BBC. There have been discussions over the years about a replacement to the licence fee, which is basically a tax, or fee to be paid if you want to watch terrestrial TV. The proposal is that the licence fee will be abolished and...

The Russians can create a Carrington apparently. This is right if true and propaganda and fear mongering if it isn't. You decide. If propaganda it reminds us of the Covid years when World wide message from the WHO etc was "retain control by maintaining the fear" After all there is another DAVOS...

Hopefully not Access blaster...........just a minute, I'll have to get back to you. There's a knock at the door.:)

Was there not a Skol larger a few years ago? It was sold inferring it was Danish, or Scandinavian larger. I think brewed in Scotland and as we all know, the Scots have never made a decent beer. They do whiskey and claim it is unique but just about every country now makes the stuff now. Some...

Cheers for that GPGeorge, I'll take a look & investigate.

I have to admit that I haven't looked at any GPGeorge. Not a single one. What would be your starter for ten?

Which is just what, I said! Why reiterate? Jon answered my question in #24.
