O why do you walk through the woods in scrubs,
Missing so much and so much?
O deluded Tory whom nobody loves,
Why do you walk through the woods in scrubs,
When the people are miserable and cold
And shivering- You’re so out of touch?
O why do you walk through the woods in scrubs,
Missing so much and so much?
2. Adapted by Munguin from the 1910 poem by Frances Cornford

So, the police in England don’t investigate crimes committed in the past, but do investigate those that might (or might not) happen in the future.

The Teeside Freeport has problems from the dredging, shellfish dying and polluting the breaches.
Remember that there has been ship breaking on the Forth for about a century and Invergordon was a navy base until lately as a base for the Carrier sans Aircraft.
No clue as to what is killing the crabs and labsters off Teesside but only started with the expansion of the port facilities, same industry there as Clyde, shipbuilding and breaking.

No9, boxer dogs are very expressive. When I was young my parents had a big boxer dog, I used to ride on his back.
That dog, Pedro, caused me my first experience of helpless laughter, collapse on the ground, no noise mirth.
I wasn’t school age and I was out playing, he made a face, sort of head on one side, one eyebrow raised and a perplexed look. That set me off, but when I collapsed it caused him more dismay, more tilting of head and furrowing of brows. I wondered when, or if, I could draw breath.
