Shall we have another Justsmudge fascinating fact?
🌹🌱 Roses 🌱🌹
We've all seen them, stories tell tales of them, even the Bible blames Eve on rose thorns!💃
But did you know that rose fossils have been found in the USA confirming that they existed 35 million years ago?
That's even older than me ☕

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.
H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

When someone says we are going to build Nuclear to 'protect our energy supply' and you find out it will take 20-25 years and cost 10x as much per Watt as Renewable.
Do you not realize it is a scam?

The End Game?
Thames Water restructuring deal would provide £1.5bn now, potentially rising to £3bn. Already has £19bn debt.
Customer bills will rocket.
New money would pay adviser fees, existing interest charges, leaving £500m in usable cash.

Stupid Idea.
King’s Cross to remove trains from departure board three minutes before they leave.
So people make a mad dash, go to wrong platforms, to find train cancelled/delayed.
Want to reduce rush - need to run more trains, affordable prices, punctual, better infrastructure.
