More people need to know about this… the incredible dining cars of @transport_wales. We are cruising along at 90mph – past the peaked hills of the Welsh Borders with an ace three course steak lunch for under £30 and staff who smile & chat. This isn’t a brag: I upgraded my cheap…

Borrow billions, take them as dividends. Dump millions of tonnes of sewage. Get millions of quids in bonuses. It’s the Thames story.
For 150 years, we've believed certain minerals like calcium get "stuck" in plant tissues—unable to move where they're needed most. This iron-clad rule has shaped how we fertilize crops and diagnose nutrient deficiencies. But out of sight networks of beneficial microbes living…

England’s reservoirs at lowest level for a decade, experts call for hosepipe bans. No new reservoirs built since 1989. Over a trillion litres a year lost to leaks. Water companies paid out £85bn in dividends. No regulator/Govt had a national plan. theguardian.com/environment/20…
