@irina I'm not sure, but as a Brit I would tend to use sledge.

I live in quite a cute part of the world. This SSSI is only 7 miles out of Louth: http://www.loutheye.co.uk/red-hill-nature-reserve.php

@shonalika Thank you. That's really accessible and well explained.

@OldBrushNewPaper Sending good thoughts your way.

There's a long way to go with making the internet more environmentally friendly. So it's good to know my host is actually acting on these issues, according to their report: https://www.ionos.co.uk/environment

@derek Having once lived in the village of N Cockerington, I'm immune to the hilarity. The curse of Britishness.

I recently read Edward Struzik's Future Arctic. Although out for a few years now, it's worryingly accurate in its predictions:

"There is no consent under capitalism" is quite the zeitgeist-y tagline for a sf novel. https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781250216151

Given the timetable for the EU presidency and commission, and the need for new MEPs to have some orientation, I wonder how much regular parliamentary business UK MEPs will manage before the UK leaves on October 31st? http://www.europarl.europa.eu/resources/library/images/20190430PHT43602/20190430PHT43602_original.jpg

@theoutrider Increasingly they want to squash them in sardine-style, with tiny gardens and little space between neighbours.

@theoutrider It's to do with the right to privacy. The guideline the planning authority where I live is a 20m window-to-window distance between an existing property and a new build. But it doesn't apply to to walls where there are no windows or negligible/shaded ones like your tiny bathroom ones. It's planning for future building, rather than prioritising the look of the homes.

RIP Glen Mehn. He was a thoroughly decent bloke, taken too soon.

It's polling day for the Euros, and I've just voted. Beautiful voting weather where I am, but the turnout is probably going to be very low.

I just did the Friends Against Scams e-learning. If you haven't done the training before, it's 20 minutes well spent - it could save you or someone you know thousands. https://www.friendsagainstscams.org.uk/training/friends-elearning
