The Roman name for Braintree must surely have been Cerebellum Arboris or something.

Tom Lehrer is one of those people I assumed died years ago, so fair play to the man. I saw Victor Borge at the Barbican 10 years after I thought he'd died.

PLEASE don't litter your cigarettes. Yesterday a member of staff found cigarettes discarded on one of our nature reserves.

During the summer months, our reserves can become very dry, and a discarded cigarette could easily start a wildfire, causing devastating damage to wildlife and habitats.

Thank you for your attention to... I mean thanksxxx
