That is a great idea.....6 months of hard military training and some front line action. Although I do think there is too much alcohol and drugs in the army these days too.

Anyway I think military service should be bought back but changed to the peace core and everyone has to do a year of travelling to a part of the world that needs support, learning and exchanging skills and community building. That would really make a difference to people's lives

D'you know what Jamie - I think that an updated 'Peace Corps' idea would be brilliant! Although the Peace Corps has a bit of a 'drippy' image that could do with a bit of tweaking! (I remember them from when I was a kid, and they were almost embarrassingly earnest!).

Thanks Spymum,

As you have been so kind in your compliments I have had to take some time to read your blog and I must say that "manny's" would also be a great thing for young boys to be trained into. That would make them a bit more prepared for fatherhood and reduce gun crime, because they would be far to busy with chores and being adored by loving mothers than to be concerned with ego driven fueds!

LOL! Thanks Jamie - and so as not to get off point, England is a great country, a safe country and we musn't ghetto-ise it. Get out there, reclaim the streets, the local parks, mingle, talk and don't isolate yourself. The incident at West Dulwich train station adds to the scariness, but we are not living 'apart' American style yet, thank heaven.

    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
    • I'm very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that Carl has never been forgotten in our community.
    • Thank you, it seems to be a few mins from Albrighton Community Fridge so I'll split the load. 
    • To be candid I know that the matter is still very upsetting and traumatic for my family so I haven't really looked into this at all. However, thank you for sharing the information regarding the coroner's inquest its a route I will definitely explore.
