I think you are also missing something salient, the head of the specialist unit said that they had searched a little upstream of the bench and down to the weir. I didn't hear or read that they went any further downstream. A body could have washed up and down with the tide too.

This is what he said; "...someone coming off a plane..." So that implies they have a legal right to live and work in Ireland or that they have come through established channels to claim asylum. As said above if you don't want people to come from eu countries then have a referendum. In Ireland?

Of course, but as Millrace said they are coming off a plane and as they are part of Europe, duty bound to allow this. If the people of Ireland don't want this then they need a referendum.

Not a game, it's a question. Ireland?

So are these people migrants or asylum seekers?

Why is this scary?

It's also old news (2018) going around again, I wonder why?

Fleetwood has a large tidal range but the wyre is a small river so I would expect it is mainly just a river flow for most of the time but the tide will come in fast and depart fast too. This is a graphic of the tides at Perth, which is about 15 miles inland from the sea proper. As for the St Michael's area I can't say for sure.

The problem is no one knows where she went into the water, the assumption is next to the bench where dog , lead, and phone were found but the weir is just 100m or so away across the field. Yes these are just assumptions and I only know about the weir due to google mapping but it is interesting to note that you can see water gushing over it. The weir is probably towards the upper reach of the tide similar to the weir at Wylam on the Tyne, so the flow would be stronger on an ebb and less or upstream on a flow.

I think that the guys who said Alder are correct, not a lot of heat even though it was under 7% moisture but I will split it down and add to the fire with Ash or birch.

I'm sure that those who are struggling with life don't go and look at the best or most used ways of killing themselves. I've seen many, only two were well thought out, one with helium as they had terminal illness, the other had a stomach full of sleeping pills, drove into a large pillar but didn't get injured, so walked to a local bridge and jumped off after covering themselves with petrol from the can they brought and setting fire to themselves. If people are serious about killing themselves then they will just do it and common sense may not come into it.

No smell and not much sign of bark so a bit of a mystery 🤔 I will try one later and keep an eye on it for smoke or excessive heat. I suppose 7 pieces of this in a half tipper load ain’t bad.

I had a load delivered and among the normal logs were these. Is the colour natural, as I have not seen any like this before, or might it be some kind of preservative applied to it and best not to burn?

Mhairi Black rather than Blackford, but probably Swinney.

Strangely enough a friend had one a couple of years ago off the Tyne and there was a report of a Gilt iirc off Torness power station. Yes, there are some good catches from both sides apparently but patchy ATM. Rock salmon I have seen recently in Portsmouth but I went for the plaice!

Not tried the dogs yet but will do at some stage. I don't remember having them in the past but I suppose skinning them will be tough like a squirrel is. I took 3 whiting, we had 2 last night in a Parsley sauce with potatoes and vegetables but no photos, sorry. Granddaughter is getting one of the whiting made into cakes with the remaining potatoes and Parsley for tea tonight.

Selective reading Dave? Have another browse...

Regarding Dave-G, have taxi drivers across the UK ever had the same experience from white British people? OK, let's go through the rest. It was their preferred or primary language in a work environment where the majority (85% ish) spoke in their primary language. Do you think that they would do the same if the numbers were reversed? Of course not, languages and even dialects are nuanced so it will be easier to talk in a language that the 85% understands fully rather than get it wrong on occasion. What other instances do you want me to tell you about? My BIL's wife, Polish, worked in the UK for 20 years, speaks English and a couple of other languages, my Romanian neighbours in Scotland, he was a local bus driver, she had two small children to look after but worked part time in the local school as a support for learning assistant but was a veterinary nurse in Romania and needs to retrain for the uk. Both speak English and other languages. The Puga's from Portugal (friends from Scotland) Jo works for the council and she was a carer for their younger daughter who is on the autistic spectrum, all five speak English, Portuguese and Spanish very well. Now we live in tyneside and the local estate has one family, as far as I can tell as we've only been here 18 months, who are again Portuguese and speak English well and the adults work at the local parcel distribution centre and the young girl attends the local primary, their dog is called coco. Lastly a Romanian fisherman, speaks English swear words fluently and others not so, but we respected each other when fishing just about shoulder to shoulder catching mackerel and herring, allowing each other to cast or give the nod, or point out where our lines were so we don't get tangled and at the time I was in the minority of white British compared to Romanian on South Shields pier, to me it wasn't a biggy. I would suggest that if you engage faithfully with people they will respect and respond positively to you and just because someone speaks a different language it doesn't mean that they don't want to integrate.

Some facts for you So are they the 20 that aren't successful?

OK then, the floor is yours.

Bit of a generalisation Simon, my cousin's husband (Iraqi) and their children all work and pay taxes, so contributing to the UK. As a senior educationalist in his own country he was in a highly paid UK job and he has now partially retired, his son is high up in food supply with a major supermarket chain. I'm not sure about the other son at this precise time but last year was employed and there daughter lives in Europe.

Pay for my travel?

You said it, just look at how well educated the upper echelons of the tory government are!

You better argue your point with this professor of law then... https://fullfact.org/immigration/refugees-first-safe-country/
