We went on Holiday around 1963 or so to a place called Lifton in Devon (maybe earlier … though I can remember quite a lot of it) I am pretty sure Ambrosia were based nearby … this is the car we went in … I think it took about 12 hours to get there !!
As many followers will know … I still have the car
Huge week for the government treasury team
The people responsible for how the budget lands
1. John Healey: Chancellor
2. Emma Reynolds: Chief Secretary to the Treasury
3. Lucy Rigby: Economic Secretary to the Treasury
The son of one of the other tenants is knocking on doors asking if people want anything from the shops 😃
Unfreezing Local Housing Allowance would be a huge help to many
Exclusive: Over a dozen charities have written to Chancellor John Healey demanding an end to the housing benefit freeze at next week's Budget.
They say: "Unfreezing LHA would also give millions of low-income private renters some much needed breathing space."
Some of the charities that signed the letter are set to attend a pre-Budget homelessness summit in No10 in coming days.
Andy Burnham called for an end to the freeze while mayor of Greater Manchester.

Opened the door to the garden and it is tipping down and blowing a gale
And there was Ed the Robin perched on his brick waiting
Jumped into the food dish, ate a lot and flew off into the storm
Do not get candles. Get a torch
Candles can and do cause fires which are more likely when you are moving around in dimly/poorly lit areas
Seeing a lot of “surely everyone has full cupboards or freezers and more than three days of food” posts
In away this os a good thing if only because it shows the lack of understanding of how many people live for reasons that are often not their choice
Saturday tea time
Ham, Egg, Baked Beans & (oven) Chips with Branston Pickle
I still struggle with chips but these add great texture to the meal - crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside - and are easier to swallow
Stepping back a year to Top Trumps 2007
Gordon Brown: MacCavity the Cat or Joseph Stalin
Boris Johnson: Hasn’t offended any Cockneys. Yet.
Hilary Benn: Vegetarian Minister for farming
Sitting with a couple of friends having a coffee and one mentioned I had this sign (or one from further down the street) on the wall of my bedsit circa 1979

When Tony Blair did “Little Ant and Dec” just before the 2005 General Election I was really worried it might go wrong (as we he!) Well done to the teams working with @andyburnham & @KensingtonRoyal for having the courage to put their principals where people watch.
