From Google maps scrolling it seems to be more likely to be a solar irrigation water pumping station associated with an off grid farm of some sort (alfalfa appears to be an important crop in Nevada).

Makes sense given the location, but wondered what the central feature was. Looked almost like a gas flare....but not.

Essential clarification, as I was thinking 🍟......

We always get crappy signal strength/quality when the weather comes directly from the south. We're on the east side of the Pennines though. I note from the weather maps that Lancashire has a north north east wind at the moment. Maybe that's the thing affecting your signal?

"When he was prime minister, Johnson issued his version of the ministerial code. It included the very rules he has now been found to have repeatedly breached."

Says it all.

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax?

The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

The 'mesmerising' Scottish museum that is one of Europe's quirkiest and oddest

The Scottish attraction, which is also one of the oldest museums in the UK, has been praised as a fantastic place to learn about medicine.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

5 kilos of apple purée prepped from windfalls today. I love to eat it with breakfast cereals/ porridge but hate the tedium of peeling, coring, cutting off manky bits in equal and opposite measure. The bottling is so much easier though since I bought a jam funnel.

I've read three I think, but as library books and a long time ago. So I can't recall which the other two were!

That's too sensible.
