Morning all from Estuary-Land. The bin wagons dawn chorus has been and gone, including the fortnightly glass and bottle which has the ability to waken the dead. Chris, I should be at Railex on Sunday but I don't know at what time. I'm planning to go via the A414, the M25 is not appealing at any time and on a sunny bank holiday weekend, forget it. On the subject of second homes one thing that annoys me is that the owners only pay half council tax. If you can afford a second home you can afford to pay the full council tax, after all you don't get only half the street lighting or half the roads repaired. (For that matter that only occurs where there are few if any second homes.)
