Edit - imagine the damage their claws would do to the teak decking. And the stench of piss. [from the foxes, not the Poretti swill.]2 -

Greenwich council,they have done their best with their proposed parking restrictions to make things very difficult for CAFC,although they backed down.Now the womens team have had some success,they invite them to the town hall,so it looks like they are right behind the club.I would have told them to piss off.0

Currently enjoying a week away in a nice hotel. In addition to the absolute joy of international travel these days the hotel is badly failing to enforce it's own "no sunbed reserving" rule. I watched a woman before breakfast yesterday reserve not only one of those fancy cabana bed things, but the two other beds in front of it.
Bad enough, selfish behaviour, but she then walks around the pool to the other side and reserves another two sunbeds and a brolly facing the opposite direction. So 6 spaces taken up for 2 people. So she and her other half are covered for all eventualites.
My gripe is not necessarily with her, if you're selfish enough to play that game you're probably beyond redemption, but why bother as a hotel stating you have a policy that you'd like guests to respect if you don't challenge guests when they ignore it?
I'd have gone full Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence on them and had them in stocks in full sun for the rest of the day.
...and yes, she was German.4 -

Operation Brock.
With the news that Kent resilience Forum proposes to put Operation Brock in place just before the schools break up in July and keep it there until the end of August, I think the results of the Freedom of Information request I sent to National Highways should be shared with everyone. I asked how long HGVs were stored in Brock with active control and how many incidents occurred in the Brock footprint from M20 J7 to M20 J9, these were the results:
Operation Brock was deployed from 20:00 on 19 May 2026 and was taken off at 20:00 on 26 May 2026. The total costs for this deployment were: circa £469,660
Operation Brock was under active control on the following dates: 22 May 2026: Total: 9 hours 40 minutes 23 May 2026: Total: 12 hours 10 minutes Overall total: 21 hours 50 minutes
During the period requested, the following incidents were recorded within the Brock footprint, defined as M20 junctions 7 to 9: Breakdowns: 61 Road Traffic Collisions: 8 Obstructions / Debris: 16 Cone Strikes: 5 Tacho Breaks: 4 Animals Alive: 1 Total incidents recorded: 95
I think that 95 incidents in 7 days is far too many and that the chaos this causes is unacceptable. Just imagine how many incidents there are likely to be and the chaos this will cause for a period of 6 weeks. Something better MUST be put in place asap to stop this waste of taxpayer money and the chaos it causes to a far wider area of Kent than just the ports.
