Official This House
It’s 1974, and Britain has a hung Parliament. The corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backstabbing as the political parties battle to change the future of the nation.
It is always better to watch these on a large screen TV. Most ‘Smart’ TVs will have the option to view YouTube but you might need to load an extra app. Probably like me you will have to ask one of the younger generation to help you !
Confined to Quarters
We have created a new area of the website with various activities and information to help ease us through this difficult period. Hopefully you will find something there to entertain/inform/interest you.
Something Cheerful

Sadly there are people out there prepared to take advantage of the situation so Thames Valley Police have warned about strangers calling offering to do shopping, bogus on-line shopping sites and offers of coronavirus self testing kits.(no legitimate company is yet offering these).
