Good morning everyone
There
seems to be a slight problem as the paper has not arrived in my in
box this week. However, I think that I have managed "a fix"
and hopefully this e-mail will have New Agenda nailed to it. On the
assumption that you may be able to read both this and the paper, we
shall "K B O" as someone once said.

Swing
low, Sweet Chariot.
England
61 pts Scotland 21 pts.
England
are the 6 Nations Champions of 2017 and with one game to spare and
took the Calcutta Cup with their best team performance of this years
competition. Scotland were swept aside as
England stormed to victory scoring seven tries in their 61 points
total. Admittedly Scotland's game was littered with injuries, but
even if that had not been the case, it is difficult to envisage any
other result given the England passion and drive. Scotland were down
to 14 after only two minutes of the game when their hooker
Fraser Brown
was
given 10 minutes in the sin bin for a late and dangerous tackle on
Elliot Daly dumping the English wing on his back.
Most of the crowd, the television commentators and I, felt that Brown
was very fortunate that the French referee Mathieu Raynal did not
produce a red card for the offence.
England
travel to Dublin next Saturday as 6 Nations Champions for the match
against Ireland, where a win would seal the "Triple Crown"
and give England a back to back "Grand Slam" a feat last
achieved by France but which would be the first in the revised 6
Nations Competition.

Did
anyone see Theresa May and her bizarre outburst of laughter at PMQ's
just prior to the Budget speech? The
grandees of her own party
and the rest of us, should
be concerned with
her
irrational behaviour and her future,
after the
hysterical and sinister
performance indicating that perhaps she is unwell.

I
was brought up in London in a bock of flats in Peckham. Very near to
the flats on the corner of the Old Kent Road, was a Pie 'n' Mash
shop, almost next door to a Fish and Chip shop, so the young Yates
was raised on a very healthy and very tasty diet.
Having
now discovered a source for a traditional London meal and delivered
right to my door, I shall be placing orders quite regularly.

Peckham
Rye station is to be restored to its Victorian grandeur as architects
open up a hidden room which was lost to the public for 50 years.
As
a boy, Peckham Rye Station was my direct link to the delights of
Battersea Fun Fair. Rides, attractions, grotto "Mississippi
Riverboat" and much much more. A wonderland of magic for the
young Yates.
Pure nostalgia

Meanwhile,
back in Jersey someone stabbed and disfigured "Scarlett",
a
horse which competes in dressage competitions, while it was being
kept in a yard on Grande Route de Saint Pierre in St Peter. What
is it that makes some people treat animals with such senseless
cruelty?

THE
Mange Tout chain of sandwich shops have launched their first
out-of-town outlet at the Jersey War Tunnels in St Peter.
This new franchise takes over from the Pantry
and previously to that the Sanctuary. Hopefully, the new Mange Tout
will provide better food than the last facility.

Another
mixture of fog, rain, sunshine, cold (even frost !) and temperatures
sometimes in the mid teens again this week. I am at a loss to
understand what is going on.
Have
a nice week.
John
