Friday morning and another sunny day in Totnes. I am about to start writing my paper for UWE. Exploring through the evidence l have found for an interest in the fate of the ss Great Britain in Bristol prior to her Falklands 'rescue' in 1970. Also evidence of other Bristol-built vessels that at least some people wanted to save. As usual l have gone off on a tangent - but that's the journalist in me. Interesting to note a stamp featuring the ship published in 1952! Looking at the rubbish on the path coming back from the gym l wondered whether the town might like to hold a 'Tut tut day'. T-U-T standing for Tidy Up Totnes! Australia has a national day making people aware of their immediate neighbourhood and how they should be responsible for it. Cannot see why we should not do similar. Starting on a local level. Hey. Just going out and picking up the rubbish outside your own front door would help! It is no different than BP polluting the Florida Coast. Just man-made pollution in miniature. On that score - BP - we don't hear about the American companies in the partnership nor do we discuss the oil-hungry greed of America to drill, drill and drill. l hear there is plenty of pollution around the oil wells in Nigeria also!
