Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EG4C1D - A low level green lawn sign in Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, asks dog owners to keep pets off private grass and to avoid dog fouling, with the words No poop and pee, be respectful around a red prohibition symbol. Photographed at ground level beside a neatly mown residential verge and kerb, the image captures a familiar everyday neighbourhood dispute over dog mess, pet urine damage, responsible ownership and respect for gardens, pavements and shared residential streets. The sign uses simple visual language, with a dog silhouette and crossed red circle, making the message clear for passers-by, dog walkers and residents without needing formal council wording. The scene has commercial and editorial relevance for stories about antisocial behaviour, environmental health, public realm maintenance, private lawns, estate management, tenancy conditions, neighbour tensions and the cost of keeping streets clean. Warrington Borough Council's dog control Public Space Protection Order gives the authority powers to act against irresponsible dog owners who fail to clean up after their dogs, and PSPO breaches can lead to a fixed penalty or court fine, making this small domestic sign part of a wider UK debate about local enforcement and civic responsibility. The cloudy sky and soft daylight suggest typical changeable North West England weather, while the suburban housing backdrop places the problem firmly in an ordinary residential setting rather than a park or tourist location. The photograph is useful for illustrating dog dirt complaints, pet etiquette, community standards, housing estate management, lawn care, urban cleanliness, local authority enforcement, street scene issues, public health risks, tenancy management, resident engagement, estate inspections, and tension between dog ownership and shared space in modern Britain. It can also support articles on how residents use signs to protect verges and communal green space when formal enforcement is difficult.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFEG34 - Photograph showing volunteers serving real ale drinkers and visitors at Grappenhall Beer Festival in May 2026, held at The Bellhouse, home of the Grappenhall Youth and Community Association, on Bellhouse Lane in Grappenhall, South Warrington, Cheshire. The image shows a long staffed bar with beer mats, pump clips, tasting sheets and festival paperwork in the foreground, while rows of cask beer barrels on stillage line the back of the hall, ready for pouring. Men and women are gathered at the counter and around the room, giving the scene a strong sense of a busy local beer event run by volunteers. According to the organisers and ticket listings, the 2026 Grappenhall Beer Festival took place on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 May 2026 at Grappenhall Community Centre, also known as The Bellhouse, and offered more than 30 real ales and ciders together with live music and hot food. This makes the photograph useful for editorial and commercial searches around real ale festivals, CAMRA style beer events, cask-conditioned beer, local brewing, community fundraising, volunteers, charity-run venues, beer tourism, Warrington social life and traditional British pub and brewing culture. The scene captures the practical side of a local beer festival, with volunteers staffing the serving counter, customers browsing choices, and casks arranged behind the bar in a straightforward temporary taproom setting rather than a permanent pub cellar. Strong concepts include Grappenhall Beer Festival, The Bellhouse, GYCA, Bellhouse Lane, real ale, cask ale, beer festival bar, Warrington, Cheshire, North West England, community centre, charity fundraiser, local brewers, beer lovers, CAMRA supporters, festival volunteers and social gathering. The indoor lighting, casual dress and busy bar atmosphere suggest a welcoming neighbourhood event focused on beer appreciation, fundraising and community spirit.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE73H - A Cadent Gas van and utility engineers are shown working to restore domestic gas supply on Chester Road in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, during winter conditions with snow visible on the ground. The branded service vehicle displays the message Keeping you warm, reinforcing the role of gas infrastructure and frontline workers in maintaining essential household heating during cold weather. Engineers in high-visibility protective clothing are seen attending equipment beside the van, indicating active maintenance or emergency response work.
The winter setting, with frost and snow present in a residential area, highlights the vulnerability of households to gas supply interruptions during periods of low temperatures. Clear blue skies contrast with the cold conditions on the ground, while nearby homes emphasise the domestic impact of energy outages and the importance of rapid restoration. The image reflects the work of utility providers in ensuring public safety and continuity of essential services during challenging seasonal conditions.
Beyond its immediate subject, the photograph lends itself to wider editorial use in stories about energy security, the cost-of-living crisis, fuel poverty, winter resilience and the maintenance of critical national infrastructure. It also illustrates broader themes of frontline work, public service delivery and the role of utility companies in supporting communities during extreme weather. The absence of identifiable individuals and the clear branding make the image suitable for news coverage, policy discussions, housing and energy features, and general editorial use relating to winter, infrastructure and essential services in the United Kingdom.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE75H - The Parr Arms public house stands alongside St Wilfrid's Church on Church Lane in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, photographed during a cold winter period in January with light snow visible on the ground and outdoor seating areas. The white-painted pub, a Robinsons Brewery tied house, is shown in the foreground, while the red sandstone tower of St Wilfrid's Church rises behind it, creating a distinctive and recognisable village scene. Clear blue skies and low winter sunlight emphasise the textures of the church stonework and the contrasting surfaces of the pub exterior.
The pairing of pub and parish church reflects a long-established pattern within English village life, where places of worship and social gathering sit side by side at the heart of the community. In winter conditions, particularly with snow and frost present, these buildings take on a heightened sense of tradition, continuity and calm. The absence of people adds to the quiet atmosphere, reinforcing themes of stillness, reflection and seasonal change.
St Wilfrid's Church, an Anglican parish church with medieval origins, represents the religious heritage of the village, while the Parr Arms embodies British pub culture and hospitality. Together, they illustrate the social and cultural fabric of rural England, where faith, leisure and community life intersect. The image lends itself to a wide range of editorial uses, including travel features, heritage publications, lifestyle articles, calendars and broader storytelling focused on traditional England, village identity and winter landscapes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE75M - The sign for St Wilfrid's Parish Church in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, is shown during a cold winter period in January with snow settled on the surrounding wall and ground. The red church notice board, displaying service information and parish details, stands prominently against clear blue skies, while frost and snow emphasise the seasonal conditions. In the foreground, memorial plaques commemorate the Diamond Jubilee in 2012 and the Platinum Jubilee in 2022 of Queen Elizabeth II, linking the church and village directly to national moments of royal celebration and remembrance.
St Wilfrid's Church is an Anglican parish church with deep historical roots in the village, and the presence of jubilee memorials reflects the long-standing connection between the Church of England, the British monarchy and local communities. The image captures a moment where religion, monarchy and village identity intersect, with the winter setting adding a sense of stillness, reflection and continuity. The absence of people allows the focus to rest on the symbols of heritage and commemoration rather than daily activity.
Beyond its local significance, the photograph lends itself to wider editorial use in stories about British royal history, public remembrance, community memorials and the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II. It also works as a visual representation of traditional English village life, seasonal change and the role of parish churches as custodians of local and national history. The winter snow and clear light enhance its suitability for heritage publications, educational material, calendars and broader cultural features exploring identity, memory and continuity in Britain.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE75T - The Old Vicarage on Church Lane in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, is shown during a cold winter period in January with light snow settled on the ground and surrounding vegetation. The former vicarage, a historic residential building associated with the nearby parish church, has stood vacant and unused for over a decade and is seen enclosed by fencing, with boarded or empty windows and visible signs of long-term neglect. Clear blue skies and low winter sunlight highlight the texture of the stonework and the stark condition of the property, while frost and snow reinforce the sense of abandonment.
The image reflects wider themes of empty homes, unused buildings and the challenges of maintaining historic properties within rural English villages. Once an integral part of local religious and community life, the former vicarage now represents a period of decline and inactivity, contrasting with the surrounding settled village environment. The absence of people and the quiet winter setting add to the feeling of pause and uncertainty, emphasising the passage of time and the impact of prolonged vacancy.
Now under offer for development, the building also symbolises renewal and change, sitting at the intersection of heritage, housing demand and regeneration. The photograph lends itself to editorial use in stories about the British housing market, regeneration of historic buildings, adaptive reuse, planning and development, and the broader issue of empty homes within the UK. Seasonal winter conditions and the rural Cheshire setting further widen its suitability for use in discussions of climate, countryside change and traditional village life undergoing transition.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E9AN46 - Winter view of St Wilfrid's stock-photo/gotonysmith-Churchyard.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>Churchyard in Grappenhall, Warrington, showing a frosted old gravestone standing in snow with the red sandstone church tower rising behind it. The image captures a quiet historic Cheshire village churchyard in cold weather, with carved memorial stones, snow-covered ground, the church building, tower battlements and pale blue winter sky combining to create a reflective documentary scene. St Wilfrid's is the parish church of Grappenhall and is recognised as a Grade I listed building, making it an important heritage landmark as well as an active place of worship. The National Churches Trust says St Wilfrid's has served its community for more than 900 years, giving the site strong value for editorial use around village history, local identity, ecclesiastical architecture, churchyards, genealogy, ancestry research, historic burial grounds and religious heritage. The old headstone in the foreground adds human scale and family-history interest, while the snowy setting gives the photograph a seasonal atmosphere suitable for winter travel, heritage features, church conservation, weather stories and reflective articles about memory, mortality and continuity. The churchyard itself remains active and open, according to the parish's own churchyard information, with access through the church gate and courtyard by the tower. The image is useful for coverage of Cheshire villages, Warrington heritage, English parish churches, Grade I listed buildings, red sandstone architecture, medieval church settings, historic gravestones and the visual character of old churchyards in snow. It can also support stock uses relating to remembrance, cemetery records, local history walks, winter landscapes, rural and suburban heritage, church tourism and the enduring role of parish churches in community life. The low viewpoint and strong vertical tower make the composition dramatic, while the foreground gravestone gives the scene emotional and historical depth.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X5K8BE - This contemporary British and Irish stock photograph captures Stop Do Not Attempt to move - Clamped Untexed vehicle in Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England, WA4 2PL. The row metadata places the subject at Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England, WA4 2PL. The spreadsheet date indicates 06 May 2024, so the picture can also work as a time-specific archive record. Plainly, the image is useful because it shows untaxed, un-taxed, enforcement, clamped, clamp, car, Stop, abandoned, with search-relevant terms including untaxed, un-taxed, enforcement, clamped, clamp, car, Stop, abandoned, DVLA, windscreen, UK, England, WA4, Grappenhall. The value lies in the combination of place, object, wording and context, giving editors something specific and grounded rather than generic filler imagery. Warrington sits between Liverpool and Manchester and is often used as a practical example of a North West town balancing commuter growth, older industrial roots, retail change, new development, road traffic, local services and community identity. The subject works for motoring, enforcement, accessibility and public-space stories, showing how rules about road tax, parking, disability access and vehicle control appear in ordinary streets and car parks. It has strong value for publishers needing authentic documentary imagery for news pages, blog articles, council reports, social media graphics, presentations, magazine features and local-history explainers. Historically and socially, this kind of image can help connect past and present: older streets, civic institutions, transport systems, shops, signs, political messages or public services are not frozen museum pieces, but part of how people understand modern life, local identity and economic change. For SEO and stock-photo discovery, the description deliberately supports searches around Warrington, documentary photography, editorial.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JGY - This image shows a Homes England land notice photographed in Grappenhall, near Warrington in Cheshire. The sign clearly states Private Land. No public access or right of way and includes official contact details, identifying the land as being under the management of the UK government's housing and regeneration agency.
The sign is mounted at the edge of a vegetated area, with dense foliage behind it and the sun low in the sky, casting warm golden light across the scene. The sunset backdrop softens the otherwise formal and restrictive message, creating a visual contrast between natural landscape and regulatory control of land access.
Homes England is responsible for managing public land assets and supporting housing delivery and regeneration across England. Signs like this are commonly used to establish ownership boundaries, restrict unauthorised access, and manage liability on land that may be earmarked for future development or strategic use.
Photographed in evening light during golden hour, the image combines themes of land ownership, access rights, public versus private space, and the role of government agencies in land management. It is well suited to editorial use covering housing policy, planning and development, rural and suburban land use, property law, public access debates, and UK governance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JHF - This image shows exterior signage for the Kumon Maths and English programme at the Warrington South Study Centre in Grappenhall, Cheshire. The sign is mounted on a red brick wall and clearly displays the Kumon brand, subjects offered, and local contact telephone number.
Kumon is an international supplementary education provider offering structured maths and English study programmes designed to support children's independent learning outside the mainstream school curriculum. In the UK, Kumon centres are commonly located in residential or community settings and cater to pupils from early primary age through to secondary school level.
The signage reflects the recognisable Kumon visual identity, using simple typography and contrasting colours to emphasise clarity and approachability. The presence of both maths and English subjects highlights the programme's focus on core academic skills such as numeracy, literacy, and confidence in learning.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering private education, tutoring services, children's learning, education branding, community study centres, and the role of supplementary education in the UK schooling system.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNFB - This image shows an electronic roadside speed indicator sign on Bellhouse Lane in Grappenhall, near Warrington in Cheshire. The sign displays the message Your Speed 37 followed by Slow Down, indicating that a passing vehicle is exceeding the 30 mph speed limit in this residential area.
Speed indicator devices of this type are widely used across the United Kingdom as part of traffic calming and road safety initiatives. Unlike enforcement cameras, they provide immediate visual feedback to drivers, highlighting excessive speed and encouraging behavioural change without issuing penalties. When drivers exceed the limit, warning messages such as Slow Down are triggered to reinforce compliance.
The photograph captures a car passing the sign with visible motion blur, emphasising the contrast between the digital warning and real-world driving behaviour. Installed on a tree-lined suburban road, the sign reflects local authority efforts to improve safety for residents, pedestrians, and other road users.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering road safety, speed management, transport policy, residential traffic issues, community safety schemes, and the use of technology to influence driver behaviour on UK roads.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PBE6CA - The Bridgewater Canal connects Runcorn, Manchester and Leigh, in North West England. It was commissioned by Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, to transport coal from his mines in Worsley to Manchester. It was opened in 1761 from Worsley to Manchester, and later extended from Manchester to Runcorn, and then from Worsley to Leigh.
The canal is connected to the Manchester Ship Canal via a lock at Cornbrook
to the Rochdale Canal in Manchester
to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Preston Brook, southeast of Runcorn
and to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Leigh. It once connected with the River Mersey at Runcorn but has since been cut off by a slip road to the Silver Jubilee Bridge. Following the re-routing of roads to the Silver Jubilee Bridge, the Runcorn Locks Restoration Society campaigns to reinstate the flight of locks.[1]
The Bridgewater canal is described as the first great achievement of the canal age, although the Sankey Canal opened earlier. Bridgewater captured the public imagination because of its engineering feats
it required the construction of an aqueduct to cross the River Irwell, and a tunnel at Worsley. Its success helped inspire a period of intense canal building in Britain, known as Canal Mania. It later faced intense competition from the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and the Macclesfield Canal. Navigable throughout its history, it is one of the few canals in Britain not to have been nationalised, and remains privately owned. Pleasure craft now use the canal which forms part of the Cheshire Ring network of canals.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K8RDNG - Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita, is a basidiomycete of the genus Amanita. It is also a muscimol mushroom. Native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Amanita muscaria has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the Southern Hemisphere, generally as a symbiont with pine and birch plantations, and is now a true cosmopolitan species. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees.
Arguably the most iconic toadstool species, the fly agaric is a large white-gilled, white-spotted, usually red mushroom, and is one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture, including in video gamese.g., the extensive use of a recognizable Amanita muscaria in the Mario franchise and its Super Mushroom power-upand televisione.g., the houses in The Smurfs franchise.
Despite its easily distinguishable features, Amanita muscaria is a fungus with several known variations, or subspecies. These subspecies are slightly different, some having yellow or white caps, but they are all usually called fly agarics, and they are most of the time recognizable by their notable white spots. Recent DNA fungi research, however, has shown that some of these variations are not the same species at all, such as the peach-colored fly agaric (Amanita persicina) for example, but the common name 'fly agaric' clings on.
Although poisonous, death due to poisoning from A. muscaria ingestion is quite rare. Parboiling twice with water draining weakens its toxicity and breaks down the mushroom's psychoactive substances

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHKXYF - Nature's most accomplished fisherman, the grey heron is known for its motionless stance at the water's edge.
In fact, this graceful pose is most frequently seen replicated by imitation herons, procured to guard the contents of ornamental fishponds. However, heron enthusiasts can spot the real thing waiting patiently for prey on waterways up and down the country.
Grey herons are prevalent throughout Europe, Africa and also in Asia. They typically breed in woodland areas that are close to the water and can be spotted around lakes, estuaries, ponds, rivers and even coastal marshes. Herons are adaptable birds and will feed in any water, be it fresh, salt, clear or muddy, so long as it will yield a catch.
Herons can stand for several minutes with their necks tensed, waiting for an unsuspecting fish to swim into reach. Alternatively, they will stalk the shallows searching for food. Then, quick as a flash, they will dart down and spear the prey with their long dagger-like bill.
The grey heron is the only member of the heron family to be commonly found in Britain. You will be lucky to catch a glimpse of the bittern, which is very scarce, or the egret, which is a rare visitor. Thankfully, the grey heron population is doing well in the UK and is more abundant now than ever before, despite the ever-present danger of starvation over the cold winter months.
Appearance: Large and long-legged with an S-shaped neck. The back and wings are coloured grey, and the neck and under-parts are white. Herons have white heads, black wispy crests and a long, pointed yellow bill
Size: 84-102cm in length, 155-175cm wingspan
Weight: 1,500-2,000g
Lifespan: Maximum 25 years
Diet: Primarily fish and amphibians. However, herons can also feed on small rodents, reptiles and birds
Family: Ardeidae

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHKXYJ - Herons are long-legged, long-necked, freshwater and coastal birds in the family Ardeidae, with 64 recognised species, some of which are referred to as egrets or bitterns rather than herons. Members of the genera Botaurus and Ixobrychus are referred to as bitterns, and, together with the zigzag heron, or zigzag bittern, in the monotypic genus Zebrilus, form a monophyletic group within the Ardeidae. Egrets do not form a biologically distinct group from herons, and tend to be named differently because they are mainly white or have decorative plumes in breeding plumage. Herons, by evolutionary adaptation, have long beaks.
The classification of the individual heron/egret species is fraught with difficulty, and no clear consensus exists about the correct placement of many species into either of the two major genera, Ardea and Egretta. Similarly, the relationships of the genera in the family are not completely resolved. However, one species formerly considered to constitute a separate monotypic family, the Cochlearidae or the boat-billed heron, is now regarded as a member of the Ardeidae.
Although herons resemble birds in some other families, such as the storks, ibises, spoonbills, and cranes, they differ from these in flying with their necks retracted, not outstretched. They are also one of the bird groups that have powder down. Some members of this group nest colonially in trees

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2C59GG9 - A plan to build thousands of homes on green belt land in Warrington has been approved by councillors at a meeting.
Warrington Borough Council's Local Plan will see 18,900 homes built by 2037, including 7,064 on green belt land.
The Labour-run council's leader Russ Bowden said building in rural areas was an absolute last resort.
Campaigner Helen Gurnani, who protested outside the meeting, said there was a need to preserve the land for public health and environmental reasons.
The authority was forced to draw up a new plan in 2017 after its last one was overturned by a legal challenge, and the new proposals saw the target for green belt land cut back.
The proposals were approved by the council, despite opposition from Liberal Democrats and Conservatives.
Six Labour councillors, who represent areas near Peel Hall - where 1,200 homes are proposed despite a government inspector's ruling last year that the site was unsuitable for housing - abstained from voting.
The wider plan will also see a number of large builds on both green belt and brownfield land, including 5,000 homes in a new garden suburb near the M6 Lymm interchange at Appleton, 1,600 on land near the River Mersey and 1,100 around Lymm, Culcheth, Burtonwood and other villages.
Liberal Democrat Ryan Bate said the plan would make lives poorer and destroy our environment, while Ms Gurnani said she understood the need for social housing on brownfield land, but we need to preserve our green spaces for environmental and public health reasons.
The council said a consultation would now be held on the plan before it is reviewed by a government inspector.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ABJGE2 - The existing building was built in 1893, and is listed as being of architectural and historical importance to the village. There has been an inn or hotel on the same site for much longer and the village of Grappenhall itself is recorded as far back as the Domesday Book of 1086. The image of a grinning cat carved into the tower on St. Wilfrids Church is believed to be the inspiration for Lewis Carolls Cheshire cat in Alices Adventures in Wonderland. One of the many unique features of The Rams Head Inn is the original village well, situated near the bar. The well actually pre-dates the existing building at about 150 years old, but is now fitted with walkover glass and illuminated from the inside. A large outside eating and drinking patio is located behind the pub next to the large car park. Boasting five hand pumps with three permanent ales and two guests at busy times from the Priory Inns range. Quiz night Sunday.

In exceptional cases, the police, the local authority or the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency - DVLA - can clamp or get cars towed away on private land.
The police, the local authority or the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency - DVLA can clamp and tow away cars or other vehicles parked illegally on roads or public land. The DVLA may act when it has the lawful authority to do so when a car is untaxed unless it is on your own property.
For example, the police or the local authority can remove a car that is contravening a parking restriction, is blocking the road or has broken down.
Fines Enforcement Officers can organise for a car to be seized if you have not paid a number of fines.
Another organisation that can clamp or tow cars is the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA). VOSA enforcement officers can do this when a car is a danger to road users. This often applies to commercial vehicles such as lorries where they are not roadworthy, they are overloaded, the driver has been driving for too many hours or has not paid a financial fine that VOSA has issued to them.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PEHFHM - Flags at Half-mast
Half-mast means the flag is flown two-thirds of the way up the flagpole, with at least the height of the flag between the top of the flag and the top of the flagpole. Flags cannot be flown at half-mast on poles that are more than 45° from the vertical, but a mourning cravat can be used instead (see below).
When a flag is to be flown at half-mast, it should first be raised all the way to the top of the mast, allowed to remain there for a second and then be lowered to the half-mast position. When it is being lowered from half-mast, it should again be raised to the top of the mast for a second before being fully lowered.
When a British national flag is at half-mast, other flags on the same stand of poles should also be at half-mast or should not be flown at all. Flags of foreign nations should not be flown, unless their country is also observing mourning.
The Royal Standard never flies at half-mast. It represents the Monarchy, which is continuous, and it would therefore be inappropriate for it to fly at half-mast.
Flags should be flown at half-mast on the following occasions:
From the announcement of the death until the funeral of the Sovereign, except on Proclamation Day when flags are flown at full-mast following the proclamation.
From the announcement of the death until the funeral of a member of the Royal Family styled Royal Highness', subject to special commands from the Sovereign in each case.
On the day of the announcement of the death and on the day of the funeral of other members of the Royal Family, subject to special commands from the Sovereign in each case.
The funerals of foreign Rulers, subject to special commands from the Sovereign in each case.
The funerals of Prime Ministers and ex-Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, subject to special commands from the Sovereign in each case.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PC2FCA - Grappenhall Cricket Club played its first game in 1881 on a ground in Bellhouse Lane. The club moved to its current home of Broad Lane in 1892 with a new clubhouse. There have been several new clubhouses built on the existing site with the most recent developments coming in the late 1980's with significant improvements to the facilities in 2011.
In the early days the club played a number of friendly matches. Grappers then played regular fixtures up to the 2nd World War. In 1939, before war broke out, Grappers were founder members of the North Cheshire League but the league was stopped at the start of the war and was never resumed.
From the 1960's onwards GCC were members of the Manchester Association which was the prelude to the clubs most successful period.
The 70's & 80's the golden years
In 1981, after a couple of good seasons following promotion to the top division in the late 70's, the 1st XI won the top flight for the first time. One of Grappenhall's best teams, it included some famous Grappers names such as Duncan Martindale, Rick Houghton, Chris Ashton, Neil Titchard, Jim Green, Nick Sharp and a young Neil Fairbrother, only a few years before he headed off for big things with Lancashire and England.
In 1982, the 1st XI went one better, this time winning the league and cup double with the HC Cup Final being one of a number of appearances the club mate at Old Trafford in the 80's.
The double was repeated in 1987 with another appearance at Old Trafford, this time with the team including another future Lancashire star and future Grappers captain in Steve Titchard. In the same season, the 2nd XI also tasted success by winning the Worthington Cup.
There were a number of other cup successes for the club during this period for the different senior and junior teams, with many a memorable game taking place and the tales still being regaled today.
In 1992, the club were in their last season in Manchester Association before a move to the CCCL

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTA4G - Robinsons Brewery is a family-run, regional brewery, founded in 1849 at the Unicorn Inn in Stockport, England. The company owns more than 300 public houses, mostly in North West England.
William Robinson purchased the Unicorn Inn from Samuel Hole on 29 September 1838. His eldest son George brewed the first Robinsons Ale there in 1849.
In 1859, Frederic Robinson took over from George and bought a warehouse to the rear of the inn to expand brewing capacity. As a result, Robinsons ale became available at pubs around the Stockport area. To control the quality of ale sold, Frederic began to purchase public houses. From 1878 until his death in 1890, Frederic established twelve pubs which exclusively served his ale. This was the beginning of what was to become an estate of over 300 pubs across the North West of England and North Wales.
The Unicorn Brewery still rests on the foundations of the public house on Lower Hillgate in Stockport.
The brewery continues to be run by the fifth and sixth generations of the Robinson family. The company took over Hartley's Brewery in Ulverston in 1982, closing it and transferring the brewing of Hartley's beers to Stockport in 1991. Robinsons have acquired a number of other breweries over the years, including John Heginbotham, Stalybridge (1915)
T. Schofield & Son, Ashton under Lyne (1926)
Kays Atlas Brewery, Ardwick (1929) and Bell & Co, Stockport (1949).
The brewery owns many historic pubs, including the New Hall Inn in Bowness on Windermere.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PBRY43 - Barley (Hordeum vulgare), a member of the grass family, is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally. It was one of the first cultivated grains, particularly in Eurasia as early as 10,000 years ago. Barley has been used as animal fodder, as a source of fermentable material for beer and certain distilled beverages, and as a component of various health foods. It is used in soups and stews, and in barley bread of various cultures. Barley grains are commonly made into malt in a traditional and ancient method of preparation.
In 2014, barley was ranked fourth among grains in quantity produced (144 million tonnes) behind maize, rice and wheat.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GY039M - St Wilfrid's Church is in Church Lane, Grappenhall, a village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth
The church is Norman in origin, built probably in the earlier part of the 12th century and completed about 1120. This was a small and simple church, consisting of a nave, chancel and, possibly, an apse. The foundations of this church were discovered during the 187374 restoration.
A chantry chapel was added by the Boydell family in 1334 in a position where the south aisle now stands. From 1529 the church was largely rebuilt in local sandstone. The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built. In 1539 the south aisle was added, which incorporated the Boydell chapel. The south porch was added in 1641 and at this time the west wall was strengthened. In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built. There was a more substantial restoration in 187374 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about £4,000

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED8PR7 - On tapping or scanning their smartphone over the QR code or NFC tag to the right of the poster, a unique url will open in their phone's browser. If the campaign is mobile-platform enabled, this will lead straight to the advertiser's website or content
if not, they will be taken to a standard Clear Channel landing page. On a scroller or digital panel (where multiple advertisers are involved), on scanning or tapping, the consumer will be presented with a list of advertisers whose campaigns are mobile platform enabled for them to select from.
Near field communication (NFC) is a set of ideas and technologies that enable smartphones and other devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, typically a distance of 10 cm (3.9 in) or less. Each full NFC device can work in 3 modes: NFC target (acting like a credential), NFC initiator (as a reader) and NFC peer to peer. Most of the first business models like advertisement tags or other industrial applications have not been successful, always overtaken by another technology (3D barcodes, UHF tags, ...)
The main advantage of NFC is that NFC devices are often cloud connected. Connected credentials can be provisioned over the air unlike a standard card (Hotel or visitor applications). All connected NFC enabled smartphones can be provisioned with dedicated apps, which gives any application hundreds of millions of potential dedicated readers in opposition of the traditional dedicated infrastructure of ticket, access control or payment readers. All NFC peers can connect a third party NFC device with a server for any action or reconfiguration.

A great track from the London Conversations album. this time of year always reminds me of it with all the snowdrops in the hedgerows. Very uplifting that Easter and warmer, longer days just around the corner.
Saint Etienne are an English electronic music band from London, formed in 1990. The band consists of Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs. They are named of course after the French football team AS Saint-\u00c9tienne
Saint Etienne were associated with the 'indie dance' genre in the early 1990s. Their typical approach was to combine sonic elements of the dance-pop that emerged in the wake of the so-called Second Summer of Love (e.g. samples and digitally synthesized sounds) with an emphasis on songwriting involving romantic and introspective themes more commonly associated with traditional British pop and rock music.
Early work demonstrated the influence of '60s soul, '70s dub and rock as well as '80s dance music, giving them a broad palette of sounds and a reputation for eclecticism. Years later, The Times wrote that they 'deftly fused the grooviness of Swinging Sixties London with a post-acid house backbeat'. Their first two albums, Foxbase Alpha and So Tough feature sounds chiefly associated with house music, such as standard TR-909 drum patterns and Italo house piano riffs mixed with original sounds, notable by the use of found dialogue, sampled from 1960s British realist cinema. Some of these earlier recordings included skits by (Brass Eye) satirist Chris Morris.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 8089409008 - 'An agaric is a type of fungal fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus (cap) that is clearly differentiated from the stipe (stalk), with lamellae (gills) on the underside of the pileus. 'Agaric' can also refer to a basidiomycete species characterized by an agaric-type fruiting body. An archaic usage of the word agaric meant 'tree-fungus' (after Latin agaricum)
however, that meaning was superseded by the Linnaean interpretation in 1753 when Linnaeus used the generic name Agaricus for gilled mushrooms.
Most species of agarics are classified in the Agaricales, however, this type of fruiting body is thought to have evolved several times independently, hence the Russulales, Boletales, Hymenochaetales, and several other groups of basidiomycetes also contain agaric species. Older systems of classification place all agarics in the Agaricales, and some (mostly older) sources still use 'agarics' as a common name for the Agaricales.
Contemporary sources now tend to use the term euagarics when referring only to members of the Agaricales. 'Agaric' is also sometimes used as a common name for members of the genus Agaricus, as well as for members of other genera, for example, Amanita muscaria is sometimes called 'fly agaric'.
Amanita muscaria poisoning occurs in either young children or people ingesting it to have a hallucinogenic experience. Occasionally, immature button forms have been mistaken for puffballs. Additionally, the white spots can be washed away during heavy rain and it then may seem as the edible A. caesarea.
Amanita muscaria contains a number of biologically active agents, at least one of which, muscimol, is known to be psychoactive. Ibotenic acid, a neurotoxin, serves as a prodrug to muscimol, with approximately 10-20% converting to muscimol upon ingestion. A toxic dose in adults is approximately 6 mg muscimol or 30 to 60 mg ibotenic acid
this is typically about the amount found in one cap of Amanita muscaria. However, the amount and ratio of chemical compounds per mushroom varies widely from region to region and season to season, which further confuses the issue. Spring and summer mushrooms have been reported to contain up to 10 times as much ibotenic acid and muscimol compared to autumn fruitings.
A fatal dose has been calculated at an amount of 15 caps. Deaths from this fungus A. muscaria has been reported in historical journal articles and newspaper reports
however, with modern medical treatment a fatal outcome because of the poison of this mushroom would be extremely rare. Many older books list it as 'deadly' but this is a mistake that gives the impression it is far more toxic than it actually is. The North American Mycological Association has stated there are absolutely no reliably documented fatalities in the past century. The vast majority (90% or more) of mushroom poisoning deaths are from having eaten either the greenish to yellowish death cap (A. phalloides) or perhaps even one of the several white Amanita species which are known as destroying angels.
The active constituents of this species are water soluble, and boiling and then discarding the cooking water will at least partly detoxify A. muscaria. However, drying may increase potency as the process facilitates the conversion of ibotenic acid to the more potent muscimol. According to some sources, once detoxified, the mushroom becomes edible.

They were the first of the British punk bands to release a single, an album, have a record hit the UK charts, and tour the United States.
Lett changed his name to Dave Vanian (pronounced as in 'Transylvanian') when he became a musician, having previously worked as a gravedigger.
He was one of the early influencers of gothic fashion by wearing dark and otherworldly clothing both on-stage and off. In November 1976, the British music magazine, NME, commented that Vanian 'resembles a runaway from The Addams Family'.

17 is the third Fermat prime, as it is of the form 24 + 1, and it is also a Proth prime. Since 17 is a Fermat prime, regular heptadecagons can be constructed with compass and unmarked ruler. This was proven by Carl Friedrich Gauss. Another consequence of 17 being a Fermat prime is that it is not a Higgs prime for squares or cubes
in fact, it is the smallest prime not to be a Higgs prime for squares, and the smallest not to be a Higgs prime for cubes.
17 is the only positive Genocchi number that is prime, the only negative one being \u22123. It is also the third Stern prime.
As 17 is the least prime factor of the first twelve terms of the Euclid\u2013Mullin sequence, it is the thirteenth term.

Candleland is the first solo album by Ian McCulloch, released 17 September 1989. This album marked McCulloch's departure from Echo &
the Bunnymen in 1989. The album features a guest appearance by the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser on the title song, 'Candleland'. The album reached number 18 on the UK Albums Chart and number 179 on the Billboard 200.
The blossom this spring is truly breathtaking. Heaps of dazzling white blackthorn flowers look like piles of snow dropped on to hedgerows, and stunning white or pink cherry blossoms have turned parks and gardens into a magical wonderland.
Conditions for the blossom have been near perfect, with plenty of warm sunshine and hardly a wisp of wind, drop of rain or touch of frost to ruin the blooms. And even the winter weather played a part, with the bitter cold in late January and early February boosting the growth of many trees and shrubs, and which will help the crops of fruits and berries later in the year.
The magnificent symphony of spring is well under way, each plant opening its leaves and flowers in a remarkable choreography. A green mist is now enveloping hedges and woods as the early tree and shrub leaves \u2013 such as hawthorns, elders, hornbeams and weeping willows \u2013 burst open.
Woodland floors are also turning green as carpets of plant leaves pop up, decorated with splashes of bright woodland flowers glistening in the spring sunshine, such as wood anemone, lesser celandine and dog violets. Even the first bluebells are peeking through in some southern parts of England.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Secrets' was the first Punilux track I came across. I still have the 7' vinyl in my loft as well as the excellent 'Puppet Life'. They took their name from an 1891 painting by Giovanni Segantini in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
Punishment of Luxury, also known as Punilux, are a four-man post-punk band from Newcastle, England, who were active in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They released an excellent album 'Laughing Academy' on UA (United Artists), and another on Red Rhino Records. They reformed in the late 1980s and again in 2007.
From a background working in left-wing English fringe theatre groups, Punishment Of Luxury were a four-man post-punk band formed in December 1976 in Newcastle. The band consisted initially of Brian Bond (born Brian Rapkin - vocals), Neville Luxury (born Neville Atkinson - guitar, vocals), Red Helmet (guitar, vocals), Jimi Giro (bass guitar, vocals), and 'Liquid' Les Denham (drums).
They released a single, 'Puppet Life' on the Small Wonder label in July 1978. In 1979 they signed to United Artists and released the singles 'Engine Of Excess' and 'Secrets', and the album Laughing Academy. 1980 saw the release of the single 'Laughing Academy'. An extensive European tour followed and United Artists sent the band into the studio to record another album, a concept album to be called Gigantic Days. However while the recording was still going on, United Artists were taken over by EMI, who dropped the band.
Neville, Bond, and Giro recruited guitarists Steve Sekrit (born Steven Robson) and Tim Magenta to a new lineup, now going by the name Punilux. They released a further album on the Red Rhino label, 7 in 1983, with Magenta replaced by Rab Aitch, before Neville Luxury went solo, releasing the mini-album Feels Like Dancing Wartime in 1984. The album Gigantic Days was finally released, on CD, in 1998 by Overground Records.
The albums are tricky to track down, but worth the effort.
The distinguishing feature of all puffballs is that they do not have an open cap with spore-bearing gills. Instead, spores are produced internally, in a spheroidal fruiting body called a gasterothecium (gasteroid ('stomach-like') basidiocarp). As the spores mature, they form a mass called a gleba in the centre of the fruiting body that is often of a distinctive color and texture.
The basidiocarp remains closed until after the spores have been released from the basidia. Eventually, it develops an aperture, or dries, becomes brittle, and splits, and the spores escape. The spores of puffballs are statismospores rather than ballistospores, meaning they are not actively shot off the basidium.
The fungi are called 'puffballs' because clouds of brown dust-like spores are emitted when the mature fruiting body bursts, or in response to impacts such as those of falling raindrops. Puffballs and similar forms are thought to have evolved repeatedly (that is, in numerous independent events) from hymenomycetes by gasteromycetation, through secotioid stages.
Thus, 'Gasteromycetes' and 'Gasteromycetidae' are now considered to be descriptive, morphological terms (more properly gasteroid or gasteromycetes, to avoid taxonomic implications) but not valid cladistic terms.
These two were spotted in an autumnal wood, near plenty of decaying leaves and branches.
While most puffballs are not poisonous, some often look similar to young agarics, especially the deadly Amanitas, such as the Death Cap mushroom. It is for this reason that all puffballs gathered in mushroom hunting should be cut in half lengthwise. Young puffballs in the edible stage, before maturation of the gleba, have undifferentiated white flesh within
whereas the gills of immature Amanita mushrooms can be seen if they are closely examined.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 8124430083 - 'Its about this time of year that The Daily mail and others run articles about the dangers of conkers and other things, usually on slack news days.
'Traditional school games such as conkers and leapfrog are dying out because over-protective teachers have irrational fears about health and safety, a survey suggests.
Researchers found that conkers have been banned from nearly one sixth of playgrounds for fear that they could cause injury or trigger a nut allergy, even though they are not nuts.
British bulldog contests have been banned from more than a quarter of playgrounds and even innocuous games such as leapfrog and marbles are going the same way.
Of 653 heads, teachers and support staff questioned, 29 per cent said British bulldog has been banned in their school, 14 per cent said pupils are forbidden from playing conkers and 9 per cent said leapfrog had been banned.
Some 5 per cent said children were prevented from playing marbles and the same percentage said chasing games, such as tag, had been stopped.
The trend has been blamed on the rise in bureaucracy and red tape in schools and an increase in the number of parents who sue. Education experts have accused \u2018over-zealous\u2019 teachers of ruining childhoods.
Tim Gill, former director of the Children\u2019s Play Council at the National Children\u2019s Bureau, said schools have \u2018forgotten how to give children a good childhood\u2019.
He added: \u2018Bumps and scrapes and dealing with life\u2019s trials are part and parcel of growing into a confident and resilient person.
\u2018You can only learn through experience.\u2019 '
This is one of the oldest chestnuts (geddit?) around, a truly classic myth. A well-meaning head teacher decided children should wear safety goggles to play conkers. Subsequently some schools appear to have banned conkers on 'health &
safety' grounds or made children wear goggles, or even padded gloves!
Realistically the risk from playing conkers is incredibly low and just not worth bothering about. If kids deliberately hit each other over the head with conkers, that's a discipline issue, not health and safety.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5534213809 - 'Shadow Of The season - 'Screaming Trees' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
White snowdrops always for me indicate the shadow of winter, morphing into spring.
Screaming Trees are the best grunge band you have never heard of. The band was formed in Ellensburg, Washington USA (located about 100 miles from Seattle) in 1985 by vocalist Mark Lanegan, guitarist Gary Lee Conner &
bass player Van Conner. Their peers included Soundgarden.
In 1990 the band had signed a major-label contract with Epic Records and in 1991, the band released their fifth album, Uncle Anesthesia. The album was produced by Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell and included the single 'Bed of Roses', which gained considerable airtime on alternative rock radio stations and peaked at no 23 on the modern rock tracks. The single was the first Screaming Trees release to chart.
Although Uncle Anesthesia sold better than their previous efforts, the band remained a cult act. In 2000 after a concert to celebrate the opening of Seattle's Experience Music Project, the band announced their official breakup.
Lanegan released a solo album in May 2001 entitled Field Songs. Also in that year, he became a member of the hard rock group Queens of the Stone Age with Josh Homme. Lanegan recorded two albums as one of the group's three vocalists before leaving the QOTSA in late 2005.
Uncle Anesthesia (1991) or Sweet Oblivion (1992) are probably the best introductions to the group.
------------------------
From the Greek, g\u00e1la 'milk', \u00e1nthos 'flower', Galanthus or Snowdrops is a small genus of about 20 species of bulbous herbaceous plants in the Amaryllis family. Most flower in winter, before the vernal equinox (21 March in the Northern Hemisphere), but certain species flower in early spring and late autumn.
Snowdrops are sometimes confused with their relatives, snowflakes, which are Leucojum and Acis species. Galanthus nivalis is the best-known and most widespread representative of the genus Galanthus. It is native to a large area of Europe, stretching from the Pyrenees in the west, through France and Germany to Poland in the north, Italy, Northern Greece, Ukraine, and European Turkey. It has been introduced and is widely naturalised elsewhere.
Although it is often thought of as a British native wild flower, or to have been brought to the British Isles by the Romans, it was probably introduced around the early sixteenth century and is currently not a protected species in the UK. In most countries it is now illegal to collect bulbs from the wild.
All species of Galanthus are perennial, herbaceous plants which grow from bulbs. Each bulb generally produces just two or three linear leaves and an erect, leafless scape (flowering stalk), which bears at the top a pair of bract-like spathe valves joined by a papery membrane. From between them emerges a solitary, pendulous, bell-shaped white flower, held on a slender pedicel.
The flower has no petals: it consists of six tepals, the outer three being larger and more convex than the inner series. The six anthers open by pores or short slits. The ovary is three-celled, ripening into a three-celled capsule. Each whitish seed has a small, fleshy tail (elaiosome) containing substances attractive to ants which distribute the seeds. The leaves die back a few weeks after the flowers have faded.
So such a short appearance, but the true precursor to spring (thank goodness!).

No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again

Line up, put your kisses down
Say 'yeah' say 'yes' again
Stand up, there's a head count

He comes in from the left sometimes
He comes in from the right
It's so heavily advertised that he wants you and I
It's a real cowboy set, electric company
Every day is happy days
It's hell without the sin, but
This old track from the The Psychedelic Furs, President Gas usually comes to mind when I am doing my civic duty every three to four years.
The Furs were an act spawned from the British punk rock scene. Originally RKO,' then 'Radio' and for a while 'The Europeans'. Built around singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim Butler on bass guitar. The classic first album was a Steve Lillywhite production.
The band recorded their 1983 album, Forever Now, with producer Todd Rundgren in Woodstock, New York. In 1986 when movie director/writer John Hughes borrowed their song title 'Pretty in Pink' for his movie of the same name. A newly-recorded version of the song became the Psychedlic Furs' biggest hit to that time. 'Heartbreak Beat' from the 1987 album 'Midnight To Midnight', was to be the Furs' biggest top 40 entry in the US.
The band split in the early 1990s, with the Butler brothers going on to found Love Spit Love. In 2000, 'Beautiful Chaos: Greatest Hits Live' was released to plug the gap of the missing live album. In my opinion, the BBC in concert bootlegs of 1982 &
1984 are better encapsulations of the band live. I saw them at the Royal Court in Liverpool that latter year.
A UK reunion tour was pencilled in last year including a manchester academy date, but this was unfortunately cancelled. earlier dates in the USA went ahead and a recording of 17/09/2009 in San Francisco that can be found on the web sounds like a band on top form.
Fingers crossed I may manage to see them again soon!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4576383706 - 'The suggestion is that after the May 2010 election, Britain will have lots of spare cash for all those things we aspire to spend on, such as new cancer drugs and such. With all the main parties hiding the details on what will be cut to tackle the current deficit, it is unlikely whoever gets in, there will be much left over for essential stuff like this. Most people realise it is charities, university research labs and big pharma who actuallly find these drugs, not central government. Maybe in the big Tory idea of 'everyone doing it for themselves', we should all be looking for these drugs ourselves? I read one satirical piece that suggested in this mode if we could not find a satisfactory hospital consultant the inferrence was that we should get a mirror and our own scalpal &
have a go.
It will be interesting to see what the reality is when the votes are counted and the job of dealing with that deficit starts. That could be like the colour shift in this image, a different kind of drug, a bad acid trip!

Where church lane and Broad lane meet is a lovely spot for catching the last rays of sun before heading into the village for a quick pint before tea. I would have liked to have been able to say I could smell a BBQ but it would be a wee fib! Also a blue sky untarnished with smoke trails from planes. All air traffic thankfully grounded by the Iceland volcano.
Grappenhall on the edge of south Warrington is mentioned in the Domesday Book under the name Gropenhale. It roughly translates to 'The Groping Place' as my cousin (who has a degree in such matters but also an uncharacteristically un-catholic sense of humour) once explained to me. At the time of the Domesday Grappenhall was stated to be worth five shillings. Lets hope that was just the tax revenue.
St Wilfrid's Church has a carving of a cat on the west face of the tower. This is believed to be Lewis Carroll's inspiration for the grinning Cheshire Cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I have resisted photographing the cat, although may relent if I can find a suitably creative way of doing it.
Parts of the Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes were filmed in the centre of Grappenhall. The 'large room' in Grappenhall village, was converted into a Police station for the filming of the 'Wisteria Lodge' episode of The Return of Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett. The 'Rams Head' pub was converted to the 'The Bull Hotel' in the same episode (see www.flickr.com/photos/nathanchantrell/4010783429/in/photo... ).
Grappenhall has a thriving Cricket Club and is part of the CCC. Cheshire County Cricket Club is one of the county clubs which make up the Minor Counties in the English domestic cricket structure, representing the historic county of Cheshire and playing in the Minor Counties Championship and the MCCA Knockout Trophy. The club is based at Cheadle and plays matches around the county at Boughton Hall in Chester, Nantwich, New Brighton, Grappenhall and Alderley Edge.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A9GHTR - Attempting to mislead voters by using polling data to claim electoral advantage over rivals could have long-term implications for trust in politicians, a fact-checking charity has warned.
Leaflets sent to the Guardian from readers around the country show the Liberal Democrats in particular appear to be using bar charts to press home a message that they have a good chance of winning, even in seats where the likes of the Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg or Labour stalwarts are seen as difficult to dislodge.
In some leaflets the party omitted spectacular results for the Brexit party in bar charts showing the European election results, while in others it projected local election results to forecast wins in the general election.
The chief executive of the independent fact-checking charity Full Fact, Will Moy, said dubious use of data would damage the future trust of voters.
Honesty in politics matters, whether it's in a speech or in a leaflet. It's misleading to present a mix of data from different polls and constituency boundaries as an accurate predictor of local results this December, he said. Parliamentary candidates are asking voters for their trust over the next five years. The words of our future MPs shouldn't be undermined by misleading use of graphs or polls.
From Totnes to Wimbledon, Oxford and Warwick, the Liberal Democrats have used phone surveys and local, district and European elections data to try to convince voters of their ability to win.
The muddling of data for electoral advantage was a perennial problem and practised by all parties, including the Tories who recently claimed Labour party plans would cost £1.2tn, said the psephologist John Curtice.
In 75 constituencies where the Lib Dems came third last time, the European election projections would put them in second place. The Lib Dems always suffer from the potential perception we can't possibly win' and that's why they are using the European elections.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4545016881 - 'Khan, my friendly local traditional newsagent and tobaconist. He is quite a walk away just over the swing bridge in Latchford village and I sometimes see him on the only day that I occasionally buy a paper, Saturday. It\u2019s usually one with lots of supplements I buy with a bit of a TV and events review guide in it.
Thinking back over ten years or more I used to have three paper shops within 10 minutes walk
two on Knutsford road and Old cantankerous Malcolm Sissins in Lindi Avenue. In fact on originally looking for a house in the area I encountered 'Sissons' on the parade of shops that included a tiny sub-post office, hair salon (Flair, which is currently on the market www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-27655238.h... and small part time doctors surgery.
I walked into his newsagents which was full of untidy piles of paper and often out of date confectionary and he sold me a chocolate bar. On asking where I might buy a sandwich round here, he suggested 'shop next door'. On walking out and into the next door along, Malcolm appeared at the counter and said 'Hello, how can I help?'. A bit surreal to say the least.
Malcolm did have a big toy grotto and fishing supplies section at the back which customers were only allowed to visit on an escorted basis. After moving into Lindi Avenue myself and having regular papers from the shop did I learn some of the eccentricities. As Malcolm got even older he would only open half the shop at once, forcing customers to leave and re-enter by the street, although there was a passage between. School children (of which there could be many from the local primary) would be admitted one at a time. Late payment for delivered papers would incur an instant fine, while his reputation as being a difficult boss made it difficult to get and keep decent paper boys and girls. His biggest crime (noticed by Colin a yorkshireman, a good friend who shamefully I have not seen for yonks since he moved up near Durham) was when buying his boiled sweets loose from jars, Malcolm actually weighed the paper bag too!
Sadly, cantankerous though he was, he is now just a memory as an estimated ten UK local newsagents go under each week. Suburban supermarkets and coffee shops (Starbucks even selling daily papers now in some places) are picking away at their trade. Khan now has a Co-Op over the road, now selling papers too. In a daily Telegraph article, Starbucks denied it had any part to play in the decline in newsagents. A spokesman said: \u201cWe\u2019re wholly committed to enhancing each of our customers\u2019 unique Starbucks experiences and the availability of a daily national newspaper adds to that overall experience.\u201d
Although I might use the ATM cash machine in the co-op, I always get my paper at Khan's. That\u2019s where I have my 'Newspaper shop Experience'.

Linda has some useful hints and tips on her website and I am sure if you take yourself in to see her, you will be in good hands. She can no doubt guide you through the minefield of types
backless, balconette, bungalow, convertible, coupe, cupless, demi cup, front-fastening, full coverage, halter, longline, minimizing, padded, plunge, push-up, racerback, sports/athletic, strapless, strapless-backless, t-shirt, underwired, wireless, sports bra, and invisible.
The quantity of underwiring in some bra's is now becoming an issue with enhanced metal detector checks at airports. Triumph International have launched a 'Frequent Flyer Bra'. This oneuses metal free clasps and resin underwires instead of steel that are guaranteed to not set off metal detectors.

The Warburton Toll Bridge crosses the Manchester Ship Canal on the B5159 road, connecting Warrington with Trafford. There was an old stone bridge across the now dried up bed of the diverted River Mersey from 1863, there was an original toll for this.
The toll contributes towards the maintenance of the high level bridge style metal bridge and approach road. There is a limit of 3 tons on the bridge. The last time I crossed it was 12p. I believe a 25p ticket can be taken and used all day, a bit like the Thelwall ferry www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/4337673883/ . There is also an annual pass from the MSCC.
If you cross, tolls are charged from 7am till 10pm Monday to Friday, from 8am Saturday and 9am on a Sunday. At 10pm until the following morning there is no charge to cross. Apparently its one of the few remaining pre-motorway toll bridges in the UK and the only one in Greater Manchester. So a little bit of history.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4393219878 - 'This is the Horace and Eva Banner stained glass window in Grappenhall Methodist Church, on the A50 Knutsford Road, Grappenhall, Cheshire.
They were UFM missionaries to the indians of Brazil. Horace lived from 1906 - 1974 and Eva from 1921 - 1998.
The window depicts Smoke Falls, the location of the Kayapo Mission Station, established by Horace Banner. The falls, on the Xingu are 1000 miles up river from its confluence with the Amazon. Eva and Horace were reputed to be the first white couple ever to see Smoke Falls. With children Jessie Mae and James, they lived in a Kayapo village and ministered to the tribe.
The brass inscription at the side of the window names 'Horace Banner as a missionary to the Tembe and Urubu from 1928 and a pioneer missionary to the Kayapo tribe 1936 - 1972. Eva his wife worked with him amongst the Kayapo at Smoke Falls (1947-1972) and undertook further ministry in Brazil 1975 &
1979. May their example inspire us in our witness for Jesus Christ'.
The window is on the south side of the church, which apart from this is in quite a plain style. Wording on the window is 'Go ye therefore and teach all nations. I am with you always even until the end of the world'. (a version of Matthew 28:20 from the bible).
Below is a more elaborate extract from the Grappenhall IM history:
When Horace first arrived in this part of Brazil, he and William Johnson went in search of three missing missionaries who had not been heard of for several months. Those three missionaries are still known to this day as the \u2018Three Freds' : Fred Roberts, Fred Wright and Fred Dawson.
The three Freds had gone to work amongst the Kayapo and had travelled up the Xingo and then it\u2019s tributary, the Rio Zinho. The Kayapo\u2019s only contact with civilisation was through the savage attacks they carried out on the homes of Brazilian settlers often killing the men and carrying off the women back into the rain forest.
It was an 800 mile journey by boat and motor transport before Horace and William reached the edge of hostile Indian territory. They then made two attempts with the assistance of armed guards to follow the route up the Rio Zinho taken by the three Freds. Eventually they penetrated 200 miles into Indian territory to stand below the waterfall known as Smoke Falls to find the sunken motor boat and the clothing remains belonging to the three Freds.
Horace\u2019s party had travelled along the Rio Zinho knowing that they could be ambushed by the Indians at any time. On their return journey to safety, Horace recorded that he had turned to the second chapter of the book of Ezekial and read:-
\u201cand thou, son of man, be not afraid of them\u2026..be not afraid of their words, nor dismayed at their looks\u2026\u2026Thou shalt speak my words unto them.\u201d
Words of scripture that Horace would follow and lead to forty years of ministry to the Kayapo Indians.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4802115693 - 'Grappenhall is the village where I live in Warrington, Cheshire. It is situated along the Bridgewater Canal, and forms one of the principal settlements of Grappenhall and Thelwall civil parish. According to the 2001 UK census, the population of the entire civil parish was 9,377.
Grappenhall is mentioned in the Domesday Book under the name Gropenhale, which states it to be worth five shillings. I have heard someone refer to Gropenhale as meaning 'Ye Groping Place' in olde english, but this could be pure speculation.
St Wilfrid's Church, the tower of which can be seen here, has a carving of a cat on the west face of the tower. This is believed to be Lewis Carroll's inspiration for the grinning Cheshire Cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The church itself was first constructed in 1120, though was rebuilt 400 years later. The church was also, at a time, in the possession of the Boidelle (Boydell) family.
Along with the church, the centre of the village contains two pubs (The recently refurbished Rams Head and the Parr Arms now a Robinsons house). Grappenhall Hall residential School and St. Wilfrids Primary School can be found behind where this shot was taken.
Snow is relatively rare here as the village sits on the Cheshire plain, not too far from the sea. In the many years I have lived here I must have only ever see snow stick for more than a day, three times. In january 2010 like most of the UK, the snow persisted for many weeks. It might be just my imagination, but spring blossom seemed much brighter and stronger this year, maybe because of this.

Many stories of ghost's are found in the older area of Thelwall. Many of the sightings are usually from the Local Pub: 'the Little Manor'.

A fortified city was established at Thelwall in 923 during the reign of King Edward the Elder, which is mentioned in two very early sources, including the Anglo Saxon Chronicle:
Kynge Edwarde made a cite at Thelewall in [th]e northe parte of [th]e Marches, nye the water of Mersee, where he put a certeyne knyghtes.
A.D. 923. This year went King Edward with an army, late in the harvest, to Thelwall
and ordered the borough to be repaired, and inhabited, and manned. And he ordered another army also from the population of Mercia, the while he sat there to go to Manchester in Northumbria, to repair and to man it. This year died Archbishop Plegmund
and King Reynold won York.
Earthwork remains of a embankment, possibly part of these fortifications, has been found on the grounds of Chaigeley School. These remains are an English Heritage National Monument.

However it did not survive the renovations and is now the site of Bartholomew Court, a McCarthy and Stone housing scheme 44 sheltered apartments for people aged 60-plus.
it was actually the second pub to bear the name 'Dog and Dart' in Grappenhall - and the first was around 200 years old when it was demolished.
Parish councillor Mike Biggin said the people of Grappenhall and Thelwall were overwhelmingly opposed to demolition of the pub. It had a football and a children's rugby team.

An original slude was taken and this was printed onto a sheet of photographic film (10x8 inches) in a darkroom. Thi sis then the negative.
Some 180gsm art paper was then painted with a mixture of Green ferric ammonium citrate and half again of Potassium ferricyanide disolved in water. Hence the streaks at the edges.
These were then allowed to dry in subdued light then stored until a bright day came along in a black plastic printing film bag to prevent fogging.
When the bright sun came the paper, negative and heavy glass sheet were sandwiched and left for 20 minutes. Finally a wash of hydrogen peroxide was applied. The print was then fixed and stable, ready to be dried.

1.After approx \u00bc mile take a left into Stanton Road. At the bottom turn right into Thelwall New Road, stopping at All Saints church yard on the right. If you have a digital camera and a deep red or hoya R72 filter, a good place for some infra-red photography.
2.From the church continue along road to Lymm. Note the Old post office, Pickering Arms and lettering on side about \u2018The city called Thelwall\u2019. Continue until the junction with the A56 and take a left into Stockport Road, then immediate left towards Statham.
3.Note the M6 road bridges that pass overhead. Continue passing the hotel on the left with climbing plants on the front. Another good spot for an infra-red shot. Continue along road and turn right after about \u00bd mile into Star lane. Continue to the top and turn left towards Lymm on A56/Stockport Road.
7.30pm Arrive at Lymm Dam. Park either in the Church Inn, next to Church or along the road beside Lymm Dam.
4.From the road, take the path to the right of the Dam to get a view of the dam framed with trees from the bank. Walk along the railings below the road and find the gameboy and the penguins with guns. Notice the bulrushes and grasses at the front of the dam. Don\u2019t forget to put on a longer lens for the ducks.
5.Walk up the road/hill to St Mary\u2019s church. Note the cross on the entrance. A polarising filter would come in handy for the tower or its stone carvings. Note the stone angels and squirrels up on the sides of the building.
6.In the graveyard find at least one cross and one carved flower in the gravestones. Some interesting door handles and locks can be seen in the graveyard &
around the buildings.
7.Cross the road and walk down towards Grappenhall on the A56/Stockport Road until you find the steps down to the Dingle. If you reach Brookfield Rd you have gone too far! Note the graffiti on the buildings behind the padlocked gates at the sides of the main pathway. Several trees have been felled beside the path. Spot the new fern growth and the purple foxgloves.
8.At the bottom of the dingle is the lower mill pool. Note the cottages reflecting in the water (as they should be illuminated by the evening light) and wild flowers adjacent to water.
9.Turn left into Eagle Brow and then right past the Lymm Chippy. Spot one of the flags on view. Continue under the canal bridge and join the canal bank on the left. If you haven\u2019t already done so, you will probably spot some ducks. Keep left along the canal towards the road bridge. Notice Bridgewater cottage on the left &
its many plants &
flowers. Miss the erotic topiary at your peril!
10.Turn left before the canal bridge along by the old canal cottages. Note the year the cottages were built above the lintel.
11.From the cottages, turn right over canal bridge towards the historic Lymm Cross &
the main street of shops (called The Cross). There are a number of notable details on the cross including the sundial with its slogan \u2018Save Time\u2019. The village cross in Lymm known as 'The Cross' is the only Grade I listed structure in the Borough of Warrington and is thought to date back to Saxon times.
12.Turn back towards the canal, (without re-crossing the canal bridge) on the opposite side to Bridgewater cottage for a good view of the cottage and canal boats. Try misting up your lens, or adding a filter for a more surreal shot of the canal &
boats. Don\u2019t forget the reflections, often more interesting than some of the boats!
13.Walk back up through the dingle to back to car for a drink back at the GYCA after 9.30pm. Forty shots taken following this walk will be available in the bar to view.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PC2FN9 - Grappenhall Cricket Club played its first game in 1881 on a ground in Bellhouse Lane. The club moved to its current home of Broad Lane in 1892 with a new clubhouse. There have been several new clubhouses built on the existing site with the most recent developments coming in the late 1980's with significant improvements to the facilities in 2011.
In the early days the club played a number of friendly matches. Grappers then played regular fixtures up to the 2nd World War. In 1939, before war broke out, Grappers were founder members of the North Cheshire League but the league was stopped at the start of the war and was never resumed.
From the 1960's onwards GCC were members of the Manchester Association which was the prelude to the clubs most successful period.
The 70's & 80's the golden years
In 1981, after a couple of good seasons following promotion to the top division in the late 70's, the 1st XI won the top flight for the first time. One of Grappenhall's best teams, it included some famous Grappers names such as Duncan Martindale, Rick Houghton, Chris Ashton, Neil Titchard, Jim Green, Nick Sharp and a young Neil Fairbrother, only a few years before he headed off for big things with Lancashire and England.
In 1982, the 1st XI went one better, this time winning the league and cup double with the HC Cup Final being one of a number of appearances the club mate at Old Trafford in the 80's.
The double was repeated in 1987 with another appearance at Old Trafford, this time with the team including another future Lancashire star and future Grappers captain in Steve Titchard. In the same season, the 2nd XI also tasted success by winning the Worthington Cup.
There were a number of other cup successes for the club during this period for the different senior and junior teams, with many a memorable game taking place and the tales still being regaled today.
In 1992, the club were in their last season in Manchester Association before a move to the CCCL

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A9D89J - The Bridgewater Canal connects Runcorn, Manchester and Leigh, in North West England. It was commissioned by Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, to transport coal from his mines in Worsley to Manchester. It was opened in 1761 from Worsley to Manchester, and later extended from Manchester to Runcorn, and then from Worsley to Leigh.
The canal is connected to the Manchester Ship Canal via a lock at Cornbrook
to the Rochdale Canal in Manchester
to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Preston Brook, southeast of Runcorn
and to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Leigh. It once connected with the River Mersey at Runcorn but has since been cut off by a slip road to the Silver Jubilee Bridge.
Following the construction of the Sankey Brook Navigation, Bridgewater has been argued to be the first true canal of the Industrial Revolution in England, and it required the construction of an aqueduct to cross the River Irwell, one of the first of its kind. Its success helped inspire a period of intense canal building in Britain, known as Canal Mania. It later faced intense competition from the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and the Macclesfield Canal. Navigable throughout its history, it is one of the few canals in Britain not to have been nationalised, and remains privately owned. Pleasure craft now use the canal which forms part of the Cheshire Ring network of canals.
In September 1761, with his assistant Hugh Oldham, Brindley surveyed an extension from Longford Bridge to Hempstones, near Halton, Cheshire. He assisted in obtaining Parliamentary approval for the Bridgewater Canal Extension Act of 1762 which allowed the construction of an extension to the canal, from Manchester, to the River Mersey at Runcorn. Despite objections from the Mersey and Irwell Navigation Company, Royal assent was given on 24 March 1762. A junction, Waters Meeting, was created in Trafford Park, at which the new extension branched south through Stretford, Sale, Altrincham, Lymm and finally to Runcorn.
