For long enough I have been toying with re-creating the entire Parlington history site using different technology from that which the current site is running under.

More on HS2
I was both saddened and annoyed by the HS2 release, and I wrote an earlier blog on the issue. The fact is that the potential savings in journey time are a sick joke. How a 30 minute saving per person between London and Leeds can justify such a huge cost is staggering.… Read the full article
