June 2005

To Eshaness this morning, which was NOT as stormy as this winter picture indicates. Still, one of the great European cliff walks, right along to the legendary Grind o’da Navir, a kind of Giant’s Causeway ripped and crushed by wave action. Fascinating website about Eshaness, waves and indeed the Grind itself, here.

So, here we go again…unions decide BBC’s “offer” ain’t good enough, and are demanding more talks. Doubtless there will be more semantic wrangling over the difference between “negotiation” and “consultation”. Meanwhile, Jeremy Clarkson has (and I never thought I’d say this) some pertinent and very funny points to make.
