Met Office launches search for new storm names
Is your grandma a force of nature? Does your best friend cause an impact wherever they go? Now you can give them the recognition they deserve, by naming a storm after them.

The Met Office are letting us submit our own storm name suggestions:
www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...
There's space for five names in the submission boxes.
Let's go with:
Exxon Mobil
BP
Shell
Equinor
Chevron
At last, those companies will get the recognition they deserve.
Pls retweet!

Happy Star Wars Day!
Here is UK Supreme Court in 2011 saying incorrectly "The Star Wars films are set in an imaginary, science-fiction world of the future".

Here in Clacton, a lot of kids are so poor that our nursery has a small help-yourself-if-in-need food bank, collects clothes for kids and parents, offers parents help getting access to white goods, and gives our children breakfast, snacks, toothbrushes and toothpaste for free.
