wild camping is the best cant get my other half to understand it.
to me theres something good about having fkk all only food light and warmth if needed, if in summer even less,
guess ive only done a tiny bit. like as a drukard ive slept in woods and hedge backs not very good for you my mum used to say apperntly bad for kidneys if they get cold and full of alcohol (she used to be a nurse)
ive slept in a sleeping bag in a field ive got up mega early like middle of night and walked and napped in the corner of a field or near a monument just to see the sun rise and that first warmth on your face , and the dawn chorus
people are missing out if only people understood its really good for you
not to have water out of a tap,
Apperantly im odd i like to rough it tough it, challenge myself be hard on my self but i cant describe it it feels good sometimes to be a little uncomfortable
its just a shame when things become to popular odd on it will bring the litter the fires the noise the traffic and strain on footpaths and land,
who am i to judge i was young once probably noisy on a campsite
however in the hills and mountains i did feel small respectful and calm
I need to do more wild camping
it would make me feel aprreciative of the small things in life we take for granted and the things we miss while were in our boxes with roofs

Yes hes been campaigning on twitter for years but only just being taken seriously by the shit press because the corruption of water companies and government is so in yer face now its hard to ignore or excuse. They should all be in prison not running utility companies or government departments and sitting in cabinet.
We definitely need more crusaders like Feargal Sharkey and Martin Lewis.Theres a few prominent lawyers getting on board with his campaign.
The Edwardians and Victorians recognised the link between human sewage and plagues of illness and death so built massive sewers and treatment plants. Now the companies just pump it neatinto rivers and the sea and pretend it wont affect us or our food supplies and trouser the profits for themselves.

www.opendemocracy.net/en/dredging-whitby-crab-deaths-defra-teesside-freeport/ On a same note This is as bad algial bloms were apperently the cause all the fishermen knew it was a load of bollocks and smelled of a cover up, its what crap is in fish and marine life now for a long time. Also up at saltburn a surfing magnet, the sewerage companies blamed farmers for pollution, it was so obvious it was raw sewrage, ive been ill up there a few times but weirdly i got used to it. was worse after heavy rainfall i cant belevie how stupid the water authority was at the time they also blamed builders for putting bathrooms into street drains that run into the sea. Its so obvious that probably the old combined sewage drains that years ago were piped rainwater goods into the sewrage drains have probably overloaded the sewge beds but that would cost a lot to put right id guess all combined sewage drains ie street rainwater gutterings etc etc would have to be dug up and traced and either a big tank for street and surface run off or straight into the sea. id imagine quite a few old drains will be connected to the sewage pipes, causeing excessive overloading and "strom drains to load it into the sea.

It is true that one of the big problems for the rivers that pass through built up areas is people building extensions on their houses.
The lazy/stupid builders run the waste water and sewage from the new extension into the storm drains because they can't be bothered to dig up and link into the proper sewer.
It can take many hours of investigation to track down the offending house

Nope your wrong
not really lazy stupid builders
thats quite offensive as well
they get the blame
but its old combined sewer drains that were recomended years ago to keep drains clean with run off
it was the done thing and easier
sewage companies know old drains are a fkk up because rainwater still goes to sewage beds overloadung them during heavt rainfall
builders get the blame no builder ive known or worked with has ever put a crapper into the surface water thats utter bollocks and most work especially new builds extensions have to be done through building control
why then is the sewage provblem occuring during a heavy rain period and not during the warmer months
Whats actually tougher is extensions are built on but theres nowwhere to dig soakaways left as most
bits of land in uraban areas have no space left for soakaways for surface rain eg drives , guttering roofs etc etc so a lot continue to be sneaked into the sewer drains and not say street or road gulleys
Its to late and would cost a fortune but there should have been a two pipe drain system even colour coded pipes orange maybe soil/waste.
and green for clean water this could go to a treament plant and used for rainwater harvesting.
instead we have this cock up of old combined sewage sytems in towns new estates re added to this then we have more rain and this overloads the sweage beds during heavy rain,
they know this the water compaines but they blame builders and farmers as its esier to do nothing
the old combined sewage systems should be un combined this would reduce pollution massively during heavy rains

There was a run in February/March when the war began.Hes planning to seize assets to pay for the war and sending out preconscription notices to 16 yr olds
With any luck Putin will end up like Romanias Ceaucescu...machine gunned in a yard and Putins supporters hanging from the lamp posts of Red Square. The Hague is too good for them.

This will have a massive effect because a run on the banks is the perfect firestorm. Money, like the emporers new clothes, doesn't really exist It only works because people believe it is real. Once the spell is broken it is not easy to ever restore the confidence |

A lovely thought but his personal security is almost impenetrable.
I was working in Wawsaw when Ceauchescu was shot and as the news broke the whole of Poland came to a stand still. People stopped what they were doing and just huddled around transistor radios listening to the news broadcasts which said very little.
No way Putin is going to make the same mistake.
