I am always interested when the government release papers in line with the '30 year rule'. They provide an insight into what was happening in the inner workings of parliament, what politicians were contemplating and plans that were on the table but were never actioned. Today, we see a batch of papers from Margaret Thatcher's era, just before the miners strike and what the planning was and all the possible contingency plans. We also see that the Queen had a speech prepared in the event of nuclear war which would have advised us to 'keep calm and carry on'. Just a joke. It actually would have told us to pray - that would have been really useful wouldn't it? Keep calm and carry on would have been just as good I guess.
Biked to work yesterday, chancing the traffic through Lincoln, but at the time of the morning it was reasonably quiet. I plan to ride out with one of my ex-colleagues tonight, taking in some of the Wolds so I'm hoping the rain stays away for the evening at least.
