Happy Holidays
I love to go sailing in Greece
and in
the warm clear blue waters
you can see the shadow of your boat on the seabed
because
the sea is DEAD
there are NO fish
the water is now too warm for them

Decreation
From peat fires around Moscow to huge floods in Pakistan, super hurricanes, super storms, super winter snowfalls and floods or, alternately, extended drought (even both in Australia) are becoming the norm.
Seas are rising and ice is melting faster than scientists imagined possible even as recently as 2007.
Tropical forests continue to fall.
Glacier melt is accelerating around the world with dire implications for agriculture from India to China, California to Peru.
Rivers are drying up.
Soil depletion continues unabated.
Water tables are falling relentlessly around the world.
Drought has become a permanent feature of the American Southwest, of Australia, of regions of Africa and the Middle East, and northern China.
Ocean fisheries are collapsing right and left.
Coral reefs, scientists now think, could die off in many places by mid-century and over the entire planet by 2100.
Penguin colonies are at risk.
The collective impact of nearly 7 billion people pumping their emissions into the atmosphere and dumping their excreta and toxics into drains and rivers that eventually issue into the seas is changing the chemical composition of the world's vast oceans, threatening the future of living creatures in the oceans and those who live off the oceans.
We're destroying life and wiping out species so fast that, in Bill McKibben's words, "We're running Genesis backward, decreating..!"

Dreamtime
I was talking to the taxi driver about our high fuel costs
so to get my figures correct I did some calculations
Here are the latest figures
- 1 litre is US 0.2642 gallon
- 1 litre cost £1.27
- 1 USgallon is 3.7854 litres
- 1 USgallon costs £4.807458 or USD7.86750
that is Seven dollars 87 cents a gallon.....
but
did he believe me??

Greek Tragedy....The suicide of a Nation
Sail Away..Sail Away..
The Cruising Association has a copy, in Greek, of a law debated by the Greek Government which will be implemented once it has been published (gazetted)
The law introduces a "Staying Fee" to be levied on small leisure craft over 7m LOA which sail, moor or anchor in Greek waters.
The fee will apply to both commercial and private craft.
The registration document LOA will be used for calculating fees.
The fee is payable from 1st January, 2014. It will cover one calender year's stay, with an option to pay for monthly periods for craft over 12m LOA. Amounts are:
7m - 8m £166.81 (£166.81 (€200) )
8m – 10m £250.21 (£250.21 (€300) )
10m – 12m £333.62 (£333.62 (€400) )
Over 12m £83.4 (£83.4 (€100) )/metre
Vessels over 12m have two options to reduce costs; pay £8.34 (£8.34 (€10) ) per metre for the month ahead, or be “permanently based” in Greece and obtain a 30% discount from the annual fee.
Receipts for fees must be carried with ships papers, and may be asked for at any time. The receipt is valid for the whole period of pre-payment, and remains valid if the boat leaves Greek waters and returns later. Rebates are not payable for periods out of Greek waters.
“Electronic” payment will be possible annually in December for the following year, or on entry into Greek waters. When arriving in a port of entry, EU boats obtaining a DEKPA, and non-EU boats obtaining a Transit Log, can pay cash on arrival.
Boats already in Greece on 1 Jan 2014 will need to pay at their local tax office or port authority to remain in Greece.
A similar proposal by the government of Flanders was deemed illegal by the EU Commission some years ago as it infringes the Treaty of Rome by restricting the free movement of people and their possessions across national borders.
So The international yacht community in Greece has a fight on its hands.
First thing - refuse to pay.
Second many people, will sail away westwards into the sunset
and let them whistle for their tax.
.
Hopefully boatyard and marina operators will see the dangers of such a tax and will lobby their government. as they will soon realise that they would lose more than they could gain for tourism is the prime, if not the main industry of Greece,
- Shops,
- Marina's,
- Taverna's
- Boatyards,
- Charter companies,
- Hotels,
- Ferries and
- Airlines.
These latter day Trojans will see an armada of small boats setting sail and leaving such crazy madness in their wake....

From 28,557 non-UK born residents in 2001, the total – that we know of! – is now 54,652.

According to 2011 Census figures, only 34.5% of residents define themselves as White British.

Third World Standards in our Hospitals
Each day, 4 patients in the UK die from hunger or dehydration in our hospitals.
In
2011 a total of 115 patients died from dehydration and 48 died of
malnutrition as a direct cause whilst a further 812 were suffering
from dehydration and 301 from malnutrition as a contributory cause when
they died.
In
one case, a patient was so thirsty he dialled 999. The police officer
who attended said that he twice witnessed staff ignoring the patient’s
request for water.
Apart from lack of food and dehydration, 78 hospital patients and 39 care home patients were killed by bedsores. A
total of 21,696 people who died were recorded as suffering from
septicaemia, which is usually brought on by insufficiently cared-for
wounds.
I wonder why?
People live in fear of being ill and having to go into hospital to be treated by Africa/Asian, Filipino nurses, being tribal these people are only interested in their own.
And still nurses are still treated like some sacred cow, considered to be beyond critisism.

British Gas to raise prices by 9.2%
British Gas is to increase prices for domestic customers, with a dual-fuel bill going up by 9.2% from 23 November.
The increase, which will affect nearly eight million households in the UK, includes an 8.4% rise in gas prices and a 10.4% increase in electricity prices.

Britain's debt mountain reaches £1.39 TRILLION, equivalent to 90% of the entire economy
By Matt Chorley,
Mailonline Political Editor
|
Britain’s debt mountain has topped £1.387trillion, and is now the equivalent of 90 per cent of the entire economy - new figures from the Office for National Statistics revealed today.
The ONS said that
in December gross debt, which includes all financial liabilities of
both central and local government but does not take account of liquid
assets, was £1,387,436,000,000,
up seven per cent on a year earlier.
By comparison, the entire British economy was valued at £1,541,465,000,000.

Britain’s debt mountain has topped £1.387trillion, and is now the equivalent of 90 per cent of the entire economy - new figures from the Office for National Statistics revealed today.
Gross national debt has risen
dramatically since the financial crash in 2007, new figures from the
Office for National Statistics show
By comparison, the entire British economy was valued at £1,541,465,000,000.
In a boost for George Osborne,
today's figures show how annual government borrowing has fallen
markedly since 2009
HOWEVER.....
Britain will be giving £1.4billion over five-year to Pakistan
At home the figures provoked renewed criticism of the Coalition’s £10billion annual aid budget, which is due to continue rising while most other Whitehall departments are forced to make savings.Tory MP Philip Davies said: “For some reason, the Government has taken leave of its senses on the question of overseas aid.
“Whatever the rights and wrongs of foreign aid, the fact is that this country has got no money and when your finances go down you have to adjust your spending accordingly.
“It’s bizarre that we are effectively borrowing money from other countries to give it away in overseas aid.”
“Spending the biggest proportion of national wealth on international aid globally will be little comfort to taxpayers who also face one of the biggest deficits in the world.
Britain continues to increase its aid commitments
Pakistan will become the largest recipient of UK aid next year but only around one per cent of the country’s population pays income tax

High fuel costs
Date published: 8 February 2013
Almost half of UK motorists have cut back on driving or stopped completely as high fuel costs put a strain on household budgets, according to new research.
When asked by comparison site MoneySupermarket if another increase in petrol prices would change the way they drive, two in five said they have already taken action and reduced the amount they drive, and 6% have stopped driving altogether.
Meanwhile, almost one in five make sure they drive more fuel efficiently, and 6% have switched cars to a cost effective eco model.
One in seven has taken no action and not changed their driving habits at all.
Clare Francis of MoneySupermarket said: "Shop around for the best deal on the forecourt to make sure you aren't paying over the odds for your fuel; type your postcode into PetrolPrices.com to find the cheapest options in your area.”
Motorists can also cut back on the overall cost of driving by shopping around when buying car insurance.
Top tips to combat high fuel costs
- Shed the extra weight - the heavier the car, the more fuel it consumes so offload any unnecessary items kept in the boot to cut costs.
- Regular service - getting your car serviced when it’s due means it will not only last longer but be more fuel efficient.
- Plan ahead - carefully planning your route means you can avoid busy roads and possibly lengthy spells in traffic.
- Wrap up in winter - winter driving can increase engine workload by up to 3% as 'warm-up' idling and increased use of heaters all put extra strain on the engine. Cut this down by covering windscreens on winter nights, and turn off unnecessary car electrics.
- Adapt your driving - save money by cutting back on engine revs and accelerate smoothly. Keep gear changes as smooth as possible and avoid sharp acceleration and braking.
- Don't drive as much - big savings can be made by cutting down the number of you miles you drive. Try car sharing, and combining several errands in one trip to help cut down on fuel costs and reduce the wear and tear on your vehicle.
- Catch the bus
- Take the Train
- Shop on-line....

- As for our airports, most of them are now run by a Spanish firm.
So having "sold all the family silver" and our finest brains drained away to better climes... who is now going to set the ball rolling to prosperity...Think again!
Last year, 207,000 British citizens - one every three minutes - left the country
Surveys indicate that another one million are set to pack their bags for good over the next five years and a further 500,000 live abroad for part of the year.

More than 50 per cent of the British emigrants moved to just four countries in 2006 - Australia, New Zealand, France and Spain. Eight in every 100 went to the USA.
The ONS said that overall last year there were 591,000 immigrants to the UK and 400,000 emigrants, both the highest figures ever recorded.

HUGE DROP in Petrol Sales
UK petrol sales dropped by half a billion litres between April and
June compared to the year before, according to figures from the
Department of Energy and Climate Change.
The AA motoring organisation said this was a "huge drop", which came despite falling prices over the period.
In the first half of this year, 16.7bn litres of fuel was sold on forecourts in the UK.
When compared to 2008, fuel sales were down in the first six months of 2012 by over two billion litres, from just under 19bn litres.
AA president Edmund King said the fact new cars were more fuel-efficient could not account for "the crash in demand over the past three months and the past five years".
“A fall of 2.27bn litres in UK fuel sales over the first six months of this year compared to the same period in 2008 has got to bring some sense of reality to the fuel market and the government," he said.
King blamed the fuel industry for “trying to squeeze more money out of shrinking customer demand” and called for greater price transparency “to ensure and show drivers that they are getting a fair deal at the pump".

Spiralling wheat costs have prompted ADM Milling to put up the price of its flour by 93.14€ per tonne.
A 16kg bag of its flour will now cost bakers 1.49€ more, with effect from Monday 30 July, as recent wet weather in the UK, and drought in the US has caused world wheat prices to rocket.
Earlier this month British Baker reported that UK wheat prices had risen by circa 37.26€ per tonne, however according to Alex Waugh, director general at the National Association of British and Irish Millers, the situation in the last couple of weeks has got worse, with forward prices having risen up to 99.35€ per tonne - an increase of 30%, over the past month.
