I thought the water was meant to go DOWN the drain, not OVER the drain?

Actually, thinking about it, I am not sure it's meant to have plants growing out of it either.

It's almost as if it hasn't been cleared out for years. Like many in Brghtlingsea.

🗳️ I was looking forward to walking down to the polling station at the church today to vote for who I thought would best represent Brightlingsea at Essex County Council.

How the heck did he run up a £170 bill with EE for the month, too?

45 minutes well spent.

The old sign at Thorrington Cross needs doing but I didn't want to use the fairy liquid mix I had on me in case I damaged it.

I need to stretch my arms by about five foot to do some of the higher ones.

Had a couple of nice chats with people walking past which was lovely.

Government: were going to make the UK into an A.I. powerhouse.

Me: 👇

Government promises to use AI to spot potholes, but in Brightlingsea, and potentially across the county, Essex County Council ignores free tools like Stan AI. They know of 1k+ faults in Brightlingsea alone yet fail to act. Reporting isn't the issue—it is the lack of fixing that is the problem.

Me: "Siri, define 'irony.'"

Siri: "For me, it's the ECC Democracy channel on YouTube that streams all council meetings live and on-demand—yet somehow the extraordinary meeting on cancelling elections vanished into a private black hole."

They missed one: Dr. Emmet Brown's dog Einstein, without whose bravery we'd never have known the DeLorean was safe for humans.

No Einstein = we'd be in a world where an egotistimaniacal billionaire calls the shots for the President & runs the world.

Oh...

Princess Anne obviously knows her way round the Essex Highways website as the bollards missing from outside the Museum, where she's visiting, have finally been replaced.

Five years and multiple vehicles damaged, now fixed.

Well done, Ma'am 👑
