The snow depth currently is around 500mm. We have power, we have heat, we have food and we can communicate with our clients. We even get the post, well done Royal Mail.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">If we plan ahead rather than rush headlong we get there quicker and safer in all aspects of life!<br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3852800670350540057-324281141753431715?l=ashburn-it.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ashburn it bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01646993753989893750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852800670350540057.post-78389209855431201722009-10-05T14:39:00.005+01:002009-10-05T14:57:08.253+01:00Do you know what your MP has done for you in the last year?<br />In most cases I think not!<br />If MP's are to regain trust from their voters I propose that in addition to publishing their expenses they should also publish a report on what they have done for their constituents during the year so that we have an overall picture of their performance. This would be especially useful prior to a general election and would also give the newspapers something else to delve into!<br />We should know exactly what MP's have and have not done so that we can make an informed choice as to whether we wish them to continue rather than blindly voting for a particular party just because we always have.<br />Perspective candidates should also provide detailed reasons why they should have our votes. In any other job they would have to!<br />The political party that is brave enough to introduce this would get my vote!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3852800670350540057-7838920985543120172?l=ashburn-it.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ashburn it bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01646993753989893750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852800670350540057.post-80496292130660268782009-05-06T09:11:00.004+01:002009-05-06T09:30:02.060+01:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BLHke3XzU0M/SgFKeE4pJ-I/AAAAAAAAAAg/O2e0Zn0PEZY/s1600-h/outside2_RSSize(220x176).jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 220px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 176px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332625314351228898" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BLHke3XzU0M/SgFKeE4pJ-I/AAAAAAAAAAg/O2e0Zn0PEZY/s320/outside2_RSSize(220x176).jpg" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Hazelwood Farm bed and breakfast near York in North Yorkshire have added a green page to their website highlighting their green credentials including the use of solar power to heat the water, a biomass boiler for the central heating, rainwater harvesting for the loos and washing machine, locally grown produce for the table including eggs from their own hens and sausages from their next door neighbour.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">They recycle as much as they can and have three composts for the vegetable waste for use on the garden</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">for more information and how to book please visit their site and let us know how you got on?</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><a href="http://www.hazelwoodfarm.net/">http://www.hazelwoodfarm.net/</a></span></div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3852800670350540057-8049629213066026878?l=ashburn-it.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ashburn it bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01646993753989893750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852800670350540057.post-75471623155666934572009-05-04T08:45:00.002+01:002009-05-04T14:06:53.439+01:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BLHke3XzU0M/Sf6fJJZLhJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/TnDnwb_jVv4/s1600-h/car_body_100.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 279px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 100px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331873988342416530" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BLHke3XzU0M/Sf6fJJZLhJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/TnDnwb_jVv4/s320/car_body_100.jpg" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">If you buy a car would you check that its got an engine?
