Lincolnshire Roads - Dangerous? Maybe not?

I remember reading this piece some months ago.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/road-and-rail-transport/11495938/Lincolnshire-has-the-most-dangerous-roads-in-Britain.html

Lincolnshire has the most dangerous roads in Britain. I thought, looking at some of the accident statistics that must be about right. I was involved in several discussions regarding changing road layouts etc. to make the road safer.

Now this bit of news has come out! http://thelincolnite.co.uk/2015/12/lincolnshire-worst-in-the-country-for-drink-driving-crash-rate/

Lincolnshire is the worst in the country for drink driving in those involved in an accident.

So be a bit of a simple fellah I put 2 and 2 together. Have you?

The next person that says to me that the police should not run campaigns against drinking and driving and targeting those that do and should concentrate on catching criminals may get short shrift!

As the old advert says:

New Jewellers Comes To Skegness

It has been announced that a Warren James Jewellery Outlet store is coming to Skegness. The store will open in the Hildreds Centre. This is another excellent bit of progress for the town.

The Hildreds Centre, owned by New River Retail, really has become a gem in the middle of the town and is a credit to those who manage it locally. The handmade displays throughout the year are a delight for children and parents alike and are well worth a visit just to see them.

Love to see Skegness becoming busier and better!

Christmas Events In Skegness This Year

An awful lot of hardwork has gone into this year's Christmas events in Skegness, in which I include the Victorian?Hungarian market. Things appear to have been a lot busier as a result of the extra effort. Have you been to any of the events? What did you think?

This Is Mine - What's Yours

Presenting on local community radio station Lindsey Coast Radio at this time of the year, brings one into contact with numerous examples of Christmas music. Now as a rule I am no fan of most of it but there are one or two tracks that I do like. Now that I think about it, perhaps my choices would be a little off-beat. Of all the Christmas music that there is my favourite two would have to be Jona Lewie Stop The Cavalry and David Bowie with Bing Crosby singing Peace On Earth/The Little Drummer Boy.

Of those two, if I had to choose, I would have to go for the latter. Something wonderful about those two musical icons, so very different in their styles and their music, singing together, that it just works wonderfully well.

So that is my choice. As I say a bit strange and not to everyones taste. What's yours?
