8	How much does fuel cost for an airline flight? When I spend hundreds of pounds on a transatlantic air fare, and hear the airlines complain on high fuel costs, I wonder how much of the money I pay is for fuel. British Airways have just raised their fuel surcharge to 6 pounds per long haul flight, stating that the surcharge is to cover the 12.5% rise ...	2011-12-17
100	Life is frail On October 16th, we said our farewells to our fellow passengers on the Perl Whirl / Linux Lunacy cruise - a group of less that 150 people. I have just learnt that Markku Verkkoniemi, a member of that group, passed away on October 19th as a result of a motoring accident. I didn't know Markku personally, ...	2010-10-08
2807	Canal through Melksham - the options and issues The old Wilts and Berks canal ran from the Kennet and Avon Canal (pictured) at Semington through Melksham, between Chippenham and Calne, past Wootton Bassett, through Swindon and on along the Vale of the White Horse passing close to Wantage before connecting to the river Thames at Abingdon. It was ...	2010-06-28 (longest)
2113	Answering a question with a question I have a target of giving a good answer to 90% of questions that I am asked in email within 48 hours of receiveing the question, and on a first response ... but just occasionally, we have to accept that we have to ask supplimentary questions. Here are two that have pulled my average down so far this ...	2009-04-01
905	Not proud to be British I'm proud to be British. Correction - I'm usually proud to be British, but there are times that I squirm with embarrassment at what we do to visitors to our country. Last night (or, rather, early this morning) I was up at Chippenham Station meeting 3 people off the train due in at 00:56 - they had flown ...	2009-01-01
106	Far from the sea, but close to the heart The town of Weedon in Northamptonshire was the home of a great fort built by one of the Kings George about 200 years ago as a last retreat against the invading French, and that location was chosen because it's further from the sea than any other place in England. I wasn't too many miles from Weedon ...	2008-05-11
97	What makes a professional photographer? Earlier this month, we travelled on the "Costa Mediterranean" on a one week cruise, and we snapped hundreds of pictures. Some good, some dubious in their quality to say the least. And during the cruise we attended a most interesting talk by Kevin Gilbert, professional photographer formerly of the White ...	2008-05-11
60	Birth Notice To Graham and Lisa a son, Virtual Person Ellis. Virtual is a Designer child, conceived with the assistance of P and O Irish Ferries' web site support team to assist his father in the booking of a cabin on a sickly web site. At the tender age of 4 days, he's booked to accompany his father on a crossing ...	2008-05-10
14	London - Most expensive city?? Is London the "most expensive city in the world"? I've seen this written, but I doubted whether it's true. The Guardian and others in June placed it second, based on a report from Mercer Human Resources(table). The BBC on 12th August placed it 6th. Why the difference? The widely-reported June statistics ...	2008-05-10
810	A bad place for security firms Tongue in cheek, our local locksmith describes Melksham as one of the worst possible places he could have chosen to set up his security business ... it's such a safe, low crime area that all the clever stuff that might be mandatory elsewhere just isn't needed here. I was chatting with Harry, my son's ...	2006-07-24
678	Why are maps rarely to scale? Few maps are ever drawn, truly, to scale - if they were, then features such as roads and railways would be hairline-thin and the may would be of little use to anyone! Image produced from the Ordnance Survey Get-a-map service. Image reproduced with kind permission of Ordnance Survey and Ordnance Survey ...	2006-06-05 (short)
700	As I walked in to Oxford I walked along the tree-lined Banbury Road into Oxford this morning, wide pavements, walkers, cyclists, blossoms and budding trees, sun shining. A truly beautiful morning. Even the traffic was flowing quite well for Oxford. A flash, and two small birds darted out playfully from the trees - ah - the ...	2006-06-05 (short)
