Grenfell Tower. A blog predicted a fire would happen in November 2016
It is horrifying what has happened in Grenfell Tower. Words cannot explain how it must have felt to be part of this fire, observed the fire or even reported on the fire.
Even seasoned news reporters looked on the edge of tears as did Jeremy Corbyn. Everyone from Muslim Aid through to QPR football club have gone out and delivered practical help. People have booked and paid for rooms in hotels.
What however is more frightening, upsetting and anger provoking is to know that last November a blog posted a despairing article on the management at Grenfell Tower. They report that a fire such as began at 1am today which may or may not have anything to do with an exploding refrigerator on the fourth floor, was going to happen. Just please read this blog and form your own opinions.
A few hours in Berlin. Berlin also remembers Manchester
Whatever your views on Germany , it is a very compassionate country with a real soul. While walking through the centre today some spontaneous words , flowers and candles in a small side road. They speak for themselves.
Should We Keep Politics Out Of Music? I believe we should
Too often in the last few years and in this election campaign music has become embroiled with politics. As an example this is an event taking place the day before the election.
But why is politics even involved with music? All musicians like all sports fans will have varying political views. Music is for relaxation. At a concert I want to relax and enjoy the music without listening to a monotonous Corbyn rap.
Pragmatically musicians have no better perspective on politics than football fans. Where next? Shall we be treated to Chelsea employing their fans to vote a specific way? Will we get flyers from Tesco telling us who to vote for? The logic is obvious.
I shall keep on shooting gigs with no thoughts for the political views of anyone

The Day I Found Freddie Mercury in My Raspberries
The great thing about photography is the ability to take photographs anywhere anytime with any level of camera or phone. The spontaneity can sometimes be quite rewarding. 
Awaking to a curiously warm and dry day meant that tea could be drunk outside with the ramblings of a newspaper. With just the humble I Phone 7 it was easy to take a photograph of some fruit sitting on the newspaper. It was only when I looked at the photograph I saw that it seemed Freddie Mercury was in my raspberries. Never seen that headline before.
Motspur Park Dog Show 2017
An excellent dog show organised by The Friends of Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Fields and kindly sponsored by Park Vets in Raynes Park . Hundreds of people descended with their varieties of dogs for a fun afternoon with 8 judging classes. This was an enjoyable and fun afternoon and a decent supply of cakes and sandwiches were also available. The Red Velvet cupcakes have to be recommended.
A few photographs to show some of the fun that was had.
How many crisps in a packet? Not many it seems. Twelve to be precise. Discos
There has been a large amount of media coverage over the reduction in sizes of chocolate bars. The manufacturers would like us to believe this is a health measure in the wake of the upcoming epidemic of diabetes and obesity. Little attention has been given to crisps and a similar story.
I am rather more cynical and note that the decreasing sizes of confectionery often do not correlate with decreasing prices and allow manufacturers to reduce costs and increase profits simultaneously.
When food items get smaller packaging it seems does not as witnessed by my tiny Boost bar rattling around inside it’s packet this week.
Just now however it seems the situation has got ridiculous. My daughter having been given a packet of Discos was unimpressed to find that a complete packet contained 12 crisps. Regardless of the numbers on the packet and the knowledge from the small print that requires the Hubble telescope to read, that a heavenly 28g lay within. I defy most people to know how much a decent sized packet of crisps contains. I might suggest more than 28g is needed.
The problem is not the weight nor the portion size but the expectation that the packet contains far more. Are we being conned by this? Surely legislation should dictate that a buyer can and should be able to have a reasonable expectation of the correct quantity of food in a container? The fact that this packet was from a multipack item is irrelevant. 
Stoke Can Be A Laughing Matter
A work day in Stoke. A couple of things to both amuse and notice. Firstly an amusing sign. Ingenuous really. Sherlock Homes! I love it!
Secondly the old and new contrasts of the University Hospital. A curious design where old buildings from 1842 have been kept on site and new ones added.
The modern design of the new buildings resembles an airport in many ways rather than a hospital.
All positive features . I do wonder though how the elderly might cope and manage checking themselves in for their outpatients appointment at a terminal? One shocking feature though is the cost of parking. 6.90£ for eight hours. Delight for blue badge, disabled, holders who get a whole extra hour parking on top of what they pay. Anyways that’s a day in Stoke
