Council To Determine If Cat Is a Health and Safety Issue!

Tewkesbury Town Council to set up panel to determine if a visiting cat is a health and safety issue!

Mayor Karen Brennan said:

"An office is somewhere for business to be transacted and we don't need a cat around - there are issues of health and safety, insurance, security."

FACE PALM!!!

Happy Winston Churchill Day

On April 9th in 1963, Winston Churchill became the second person to become an Honorary Citizen of the United States, although this was the first time Congress had resolved that it was to be bestowed by the President of the United States, on a foreign national – he was granted citizenship of eight individual states as a prelude :- Hawaii, Maryland, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. Winston Churchill Day commemorates this event.

This honour was bestowed upon him by the 35th President of the United States – John F Kennedy, although Churchill was not present himself at the ceremony, his son and grandson were there for him. It had been hoped Churchill would not only witness the event on television – which he did with his wife – but would be able to respond. Problems with a relay station in Cornwall prevented this.

Catcoin

The Royal Mint is bolstering the coin collection it issued last year to mark the 150th anniversary of Beatrix Potter's birth with a special UK release featuring Peter Rabbit followed by Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten and Jeremy Fisher.

The printed colour designs on the silver proof 50p coins have been created to capture the hand-painted style of Potter's original illustrations.
