Take a tip from the French

A carpenter has been told not to sweep his floor with a broom anymore because of health and safety.  He, quite sensibly, has refused to take any notice.  The health and safety regulations have hit the level of ludicrous.  In Europe they sit round a table thinking up the most pathetic reasons why people can't do anything.  The French are leading lights in this process but I have yet to see a French person or business actually adhere to them.  The disciplined British look at a new regulation and immediately implement it, the French look at it, decide it is stupid and ignore it.  Soon British children will be completely wrapped in so much cotton wool that we will be raising a generation of wimps, if we haven't done it already.

Will our Brexit suffering be over soon?  I am beginning to not care whether we stay in the EU or not, even though the outcome could change my situation quite dramatically, especially if we leave with no deal.   Will anything change with a new Prime Minister? 

The spat between Sadiq Khan and Trump continues.  They are both as bad as each other but why on earth did Jeremy Hunt weigh in and take sides?  My 3 year old grandson answered questions for Father's Day.  One was 'what does Daddy tell you?' and he replied 'don't do naughty stuff'.  Change the 'do' to 'say' and we could clear out a few politicians at a stroke.

French railway workers are striking 2 days in 5 for the next few months in protest against Macron's reforms.  To launch these strikes huge protests were organised in Paris but oh dear the strikers couldn't get there because the trains weren't running due to strike action.

stormy weather

Last evening there was a huge storm, lightning,  wind and torrential rain in Agra. This morning the devastation was clear. No power, 50 dead and hundreds of trees down. On the way to the taj mahal  I could see crushed cars, flooded streets  and so many trees.   Then out of all this destruction I arrived at the taj mahal. It doesn't matter how many pictures you see  they cannot compare to seeing this exquisite building rising up above you.  I have waited so long to see it and  it  is far better than I could have imagined.
