Posted by Cptn

Connect 2, a project to provide new pedestrian and cycling links that overcome physical barriers such as a river, railway or busy road, is looking for money.

RDA away day

Teardrop explodes

Posted by Cptn

As the USA’s attempt to recognise that ‘the Armenian genocide was conceived and carried out by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923′ and ‘1,500,000 men, women and children were killed’ flounders against a combination of diplomatic pressure and extensive/expensive lobbying, we thought we’d remind you of a stonking story that deals with

The LunchBox #5

Posted by freeluncher @ Talking Liberties

I was bunking off school with a mate of mine many moons ago, when we chanced upon a house with smoke pouring out of an open back door. Being young and stupid, we rushed in to find a chip pan on fire and a bloke asleep in a chair. I

Posted by Cptn

Who knew the county council had a climate change champion? Well it does, and he ain’t happy.

Devon County Councillor Gordon Hook (said climate change champion) is disappointed by the government’s backtracking on the 20 per cent renewable energy target for 2020 (the new goal is 10-15 per cent).

Cllr Hook told the PRSD: ‘Renewables

Albert and Equiano

Posted by Cptn

There’s still some life left in the Exeter Royal Albert Memorial Museum (that’s RAMM to you), and it will be brought to life with the play Albert and the Story of Equiano.

The story of Equiano is the kind of thing that would make Professor James Watson’s toes curl – an 18th century slave
