The Diary of 'Prudence' Brown, Pt 2
Hello Diary
Prudence here again. Well it has been an interesting few days and I made a new friend and I think he must be Irish ‘coz his name’s Mr O’Bama but he’s got a funny first name which sounded like Barrack but I think it must be Gaelic or something and I think he’s much more fun than my friend George who’s not really my friend but just pretends to be and...

The Diary of 'Prudence' Brown, Pt 1
My name is Prudence Brown and I’m the boss of all the little people who live at the bottom of my garden in the land of YUK.

DNA database
Britain’s crime-fighting DNA database was the world’s first, in 1995, and is now the world’s largest.
Originally samples were taken from those arrested but destroyed if they were not convicted. Today anyone who is arrested - even if innocent - has DNA taken without consent, even if it has nothing to do with the case. It is added to the database, and stays there forever. It is...

I wish I could say I was surprized
The British have reacted to the recent terrorism alerts by raising their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross”. Londoners have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized...

In the words of the old Beatles song “I’m soooooo tired….”. After a 10 day visit to our son Paul and daughter-in-law Judy in NYC we headed back to Cyprus, stopping off for a couple of days in Prague. Only home for 3 days before I was off again to Qatar (via Bahrain) from where I now sit and write this. By my reckoning that’s 5 countries in 6 days - I’m getting...
