Is there nothing that this administration wont sell, how about a 'car-boot' sale in Downing Street every Sunday morning (thats if there is anything left of our country to sell!)?  |

(for our overseas friends, Chequers is the State-owned Mansion set in its own grounds for the use of the prime-minister and his family, along with the London 'flat' in 10 Downing Street and ofcourse the PM has his own home that he vacated when he moved to number 10. So much for those that sleep on the streets of London cause they have no roof over their head. |

You'd never have to worry about riots and what-not...earthquakes, floods...bad weather. Might help to stimulate the eonomy and give people something to think about in the future. |

They create their own rain storms daily depending on the season and location. Trees take in our carbon dioxide also and leaves us with mositure in the air and cleaner air. An beautiful thought about them comes from the Native Americans...whom call them our "grandparents" by way of spirit association...they stand as an testament to time in endurance in what the world puts out...like an kind old grandparent, they hover over the little ones with serene protection... don't care if we play within them,..and are gentle kind souls in their own right. |
