Samuel Jones managing director, George Dean, about his planning application

Another day planned for my history work but interrupted this time by many Council work interruptions as well as by Percy and Michael progressing SLD publicity. I had the Samuel Jones MD, George Dean, on about his company’s planning application and then three local newspaper journalists interviewing me accordingly and it was very late tonight when I could finish my history work. Six men have survived a month after an American earthquake by eating canned fruit in a cellar. 24 police officers have been served summonses for perjury arising out of the Wapping Murdoch newspaper dispute and King’s Cross station will be the preferred second terminal for the Channel Tunnel trains.

I was awoken with my morning tea and had a struggle to get ready and washed in time for breakfast. I ended up eating on my own but watching all of the children go off to school. My day was scheduled to be exclusively dedicated to my history work but had many Council work interruptions. First Percy Meyer called and came around to use my photocopier to do a press release and he stayed through coffee which lost me a while. Still I was pleased to see the publicity flowing again. Michael had dropped by for his focus artwork but purses next newsletter is scheduled for early February. During the day, a call from a resident complaining about the planning application for Three Lawns, then one from the Samuel Jones managing director, George Dean, about his planning application. Then a string of journalists; Hunts Post, Express and Weekly News all calling to interview me and ask questions about it!

Between all this, I did spend quite a lot of time on my 1279 Ladder of Manorial Tenure diagram but had to work until midnight to finish it off which was a pity. Then I wrote up my journal to unwind, at last, pleased that I done a good job and I finished off chapter 4. The incredible news tonight is of the rescue of six men found alive under the American earthquake rubble, a month after the disaster. They had survived in a cellar of a collapsed nine story building by eating the canned fruit stored there. They had survived 35 days and thought war had broken out. After the M1 plane disaster, the crash investigator has been criticised for making comments that led the media to blame the pilot. Victim has appealed to the media to leave him and his family alone and does not want photographs taken of his badly injured wife or baby boy. Magistrates issued summonses against 24 police after allegations of assault, conspiracy and perjury arising out of the Wapping Murdoch newspaper dispute in January 1987. There are 19 constables, for sergeants and an inspector affected. King’s Cross station has been chosen by British Rail as its preferred second terminal after Waterloo the Channel Tunnel trains. Today started with a fair frost and then the clouds came over and the heavens opened with a torrential downpour.
