Defeated but not shamed!

For the first time this season Verwood failed to score any points in a match.
The away match at Shroton proved to be a stumbling block in Verwood's form this season with both the Triples and Fours losing by the smallest of margins in these low scoring games.
The Fours team was made up of three reserves and although they made a good start the pressure from Shroton proved to much and Verwood started to make errors and lost by 11 shots to 13.
The Triples started off badly by failing to score for the first six ends. A tactical change by Verwood of swapping myself from the number two position to Skip proved to be a turning point and on the final end Verwood need to score 5 shots to win or 4 shots to even the game.
Verwood held 3 shots with the advantage of the final bowl, which unfortunately stopped short of the Jack by a small margin and Shroton took the game by 14 shots to 13.
Subject to other results being declared this puts Shroton at the top of the League and Verwood slip down to third place, still with one match in hand over most of the other teams.
Verwood's next game is away to West Moors, who are third from bottom, on March 13th.

Blairs buy home No5

According to today's newspapers the Blairs have bought a fifth property to add to their portfolio. This new purchase of a £800,000 mews house will mean their mortgage debt is now around £5million. This would give them total monthly mortgage payments of up to £20,000.
The intriguing question is how they have been able to borrow the equivalent of 25 times the Prime Ministers salary.
The new property stands behind their £3.65million London townhouse and it is believed the intention is to knock the properties into one.

Will it be used to house immigrants or prisoners that cannot be sent to prison because of overcrowding that exists in our prisons?
