I’m so sad to hear the news of Jersey Reds,though all top2tier clubs have had very small margins in the past couple of seasons. I feel so sorry for the club’s players,Harvey and his management team who have achieved more than the Island could have ever realistically expected.

Springtime doesn’t begin this week despite what some forecasters are saying it’s still too cold! Starts officially night of 19th into 20 March so still 3 weeks of winter left.Traditional seasons are more realistic than Meteorological ones and more “logical” too-it’s a wet winter!

Would be interesting to see the French electoral system paralleled with the recent UK Election. How many seats in parliament would be already in place &which political parties would need to contest a 2nd UK election for each constituency?Which media can provide these stats first?

With travel weather disruptions today the opportunity to use the upstairs Airport seated lounge is a blessing to travellers—The FREE facility IS SOMETHING JERSEY should cherish & NOT commercialize! Please keep it as it is to benefit ALL!!

St Ouen win the Jersey FA Premiership 2 League with a 1-0 victory over St John who would’ve been champions with a draw today. Crowd was around the 300 mark creating a very highly charged atmosphere throughout this key game.

Channel4 programme this week called “Britain under the Nazis” sadly can’t even get the title of the programme correct!Channel Islands of course are NOT part of Britain or UK,they are part of the GEOGRAPHICAL REGION which is called the British Isles & not governed by Westminster!

Upstairs viewing area at Jersey airport being turned into a “ premium to be paid for viewing area” despite so many people against that initial idea—- clearly not listened to as usual. Money again the deciding factor over a plus factor for Jersey… Oh dear!
