In reply to Robert Morgan. Yes. But wasn't his name Cartlidge? I seem to think he lived in Pleasant Street, opposite the BBC.

Better still – “we shall fight them in their homes when we find them and they will live to regret intruding our tranquility”.

Our people own much of this land but that only represents part of the longer term, maybe eternal bond between a people and the land of which they have custody while they live on it.

In reply to Ioan ap Trefor ab Enoch. Da iawn! Excellent Ioan, what a Welsh bard! As Churchill said: ' We shall fight them on our fields; and hills. We shall never surrender!

Hi Jac,

I emailed Stella and I have emailed you with my huge list of questions for Galileo, it needs proof reading but feel free to post if you think its appropriate.

It is so sad that in all of Wales
only half a dozen are protesting
about these awful proposals to
desecrate iconic scenery north of
Rhandirmwyn. I’ve just scribbled this.
Sacred Mountains
Many nations have Sacred Mountains
they spill up like holy dry fountains.
They belong to First Nation people.
Spiritual a beacon steeple.
Uluru is Ayers Alice Springs
Adam’s Peak Sri Lanka hosts pilgrims
Ararat the harbour of the Ark
Olympus Zeus’ mythical spark.
Kailash of Tibetan purity
Sinai’s ten commands of Deity
Agung has its high Temple Bali
Fuji home of sacred Samuri.
Cymru has no sacred hill top rite
Just an annual canvas tent site.
This eases the path for flash ‘green’ men
to destroy our land without ‘amen’ .
Ioan ap Trefor ab Enoch.

Swans aren’t playing. It’s the Champions League tonight. I shall probably watch AC v PSG.

I’m an old North Banker from the 60s. (No, that is not rhyming slang.) I was there at Anfield when we beat Liverpool in the FA Cup sixth round. Went everywhere. I even remember going to a pre-season friendly in Cheltenham. Got caught up in a big fight in an Irish pub. Nothing to do with us and we managed to escape unharmed. I think we won 4 – 0.

Then I tended to drift to rugby. Spent a lot of time down St Helens watching the Whites. Then I moved, my son started following the Swans and he re-awakened my interest in the early ’90s.

Who are the Swans playing tonight Jac?
Back in the eighties, I used to go to the Vetch and watch the Swans play. They were awsome then because it was the ‘Tosh’ years. The ‘Double Decker’ was more fun being in than on a rollercoaster!

In reply to Stella.

At the moment I’m pushing on to get the next piece ready for the morning. Popping out this afternoon and football tonight means that time is short.

However, there will definitely be a follow-up after the drop-ins. So send anything you have to editor@jacothenorth.net.

Have passed your e-mail address on to Jason.

If it helps, Shropshire County council just refused a solar park proposed by Vattenfall for a 22 MW array to the south of Hall Lane, Kemberton, near Telford. They said it would force the closure of an organic dairy farm and had received 133 objections. Its gone to appeal.
It is part of the green belt west of Wolverhampton so different circumstances but all ammo we can use I guess.
