Odd minds
A reporter briefly describing the Remembrance Day service in London today said that it took place at time when troops were still dying for the country. Dying for the government more like.
Went to visit my mother in the care home and took a boxful of old pots and pans for the metal recycling skip in the household waste site en route. My luck was in as the queue was short; it didn't extend to the main road.
My mother was much the same as usual. She said that she was glad she was there because my father sometimes said 'Thank God you are here.'
One of the residents often remarked that she would have liked to have had a baby. My mother thought how sad till one day the woman's daughter turned up. 'She must have been a baby once,' said my mother. 'No, she wasn't,' the woman replied.
Quote for today
I firmly believe that a time is coming when many of the problems we are discussing today are going to solve themselves automatically with quickened reaction, with inherited caution, when an ingrained sense of safety is going to take the place of many of these restrictions and regulations which we now have to impose.
Oliver Stanley, Minister of Transport, in charge of the 1934 Bill
