Lincoln Cathedral was consecrated today in 1092. Giving me the chance to trot out THE best piece of history trivia EVER: the Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest building on earth for over 3,500 years until it was overtaken by... Lincoln Cathedral in the early 14th century.

Our web site has crashed once again and we cannot find out the why of it. The ever helpful Greg Hughes of The Virtually There Company is now rebuilding it from scratch.

It has been suggested that Gem and Perera may no longer be regarded as lawn tennis pioneers as the game they were playing was an outdoor version of Rackets. See alternative view: theharrygemproject.co.uk/1297-2/

Truss made deals with the wrong people to get her into position. The same people who forced the catastrophy of Brexit and who wield way too much power in the Tory Party. This needs to be broken and never ever allowed to happen again...because this is not a game.

I saw Rt Hon Chris Skidmore speak at the Net Zero conference I spoke at a few weeks ago and it was clear he was really struggling with the Sunak shift on the environment. This does not come as a surprise. He deserves respect 1, for caring so much about the issue and 2, for showing 1/2
