  • It is in farmland, but it’s also smack next to one of the country’s major arterial routes to the southwest, and a two-lane road (one lane in each direction) at that. So the traffic buildup at peak season can lead to terrible delays. Add to that the gawpers who slow down to look at it, the coaches and tourists and it’s just always been an absolute nightmare. If you ever find you might need to be on the a303 in that area after 4pm on a Friday or Sunday in the summer, change your plans.

    A short term and way cheaper potential alternative would be putting up the green fencing you see alongside airports - make it Impossible to see the stones from the road and you’ll solve a good deal of the problems.

    This has been going on for decades and will likely go on for a few more. I dont think this is the best use of money when half the country is wondering how they’re going to pay the mortgage next month.


  • I use outlook at work but again it’s more about the process.

    My inbox is my “to do” list. I have lots of folders and subfolders and I file everything. Once a day I try to take a few minutes to file stuff that’s been dealt with.

    I do also file some "sent"mail too as I’m kinda CYA cautious like that.

    I get a bit stressed if my inbox gets to the point where I have to scroll down through it - that tells me I need to delegate, file or close out some items.

    Some people never file anything and just use the search function in whatever email client they’re in, but I’m a bit old and never had that function in the early days so it doesn’t come naturally to me - an inbox with 20,000 messages in it just freaks me out.

    I also use the conversation function which keeps everything tied together regardless of which folder it’s in.

    Trial and error. You don’t have to stick to a routine or method - if it’s not working for you, change something until it does.
