Well as picnic spots go, it is probably a slight improvement on the hard shoulder of the A1 at Ferrybridge but I still don't see why we can't go to Filey like everybody else. Shall I get the sandwiches from the boot, dear?

At the former RAF St Athan, airliners come to die. Birdwatchers are hoping the engines and other cavities will tempt rare birds into nesting there.

Dad: "If it were being flown by the Norwegian Prime Minister, of course it would be painted in Red, White and Blue all over."

Boy Scout son "What about the French Prime Minister, or Costa Rica, or North Korea or - dad, there's dozens of countries with Red, White and Blue flags."
