OMG - I was going to say the same Martin.
I do a good number of trips every year to Manchester and back. I used to enjoy the motorway drive but not any more. The combination of endless 50mph zones and the boy racer antics of the BMW and Audi drivers has put paid to that.

I should stress that I'm laughing along with Jacinda Ardern on this one, not at the little girl in the story. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has rejected a "bribe" from an 11-year-old girl who wrote asking her government to conduct dragon research.
The girl, identified only as Victoria, wanted to be given telekinetic powers so she could become a dragon trainer. She included NZ$5 ($3.20; £2.50) with her letter, apparently as a bribe. Writing back on official letterhead, Ms Ardern said her administration was " not currently doing any work in... psychics and dragons." But in a handwritten note, she added: " P.S. I'll still keep an eye out for those dragons. Do they wear suits?" The letter exchange first emerged on web forum Reddit after a picture of the PM's reply was posted by a user who claimed his little sister had tried to "bribe Jacinda". The Reddit user said his youngest sister wanted the government to " make [dragons] telekinetic... and wanted to find out what they know about dragons and if they had found any yet, so she could train them". Replies included: " Reasonable. good thinking ahead," and " Your sister sounds rad." Explaining the niche request, the schoolgirl's brother said her interest in telepathy comes from the Netflix Sci-Fi series Stranger Things, which features telepathy and telekinesis - the power to move things using one's mind. The prime minister's office (PMO) confirmed to the BBC that Ms Ardern's 30 April reply is genuine. In it, she thanked Victoria for getting in touch, writing: " We were very interested to hear your suggestions about psychics and dragons, but unfortunately we are not currently doing any work in either of these areas. " I am therefore returning your bribe money, and I wish you all the very best in your quest for telekinesis, telepathy and dragons." MOREThe world needs more politicians like Ms Ardern. Most of them would probably have kept the money.

The United States Navy have disciplined two pilots who drew a giant penis in the skies above Washington State. Shocked residents could not believe what they were seeing as the two unidentified pilots of the EA-18G Growler outlined the offensive image above them. Audio from the cockpit reveals how the Navy officers laughed as they boasted about how it would be “so easy” to draw the huge penis. An official investigation into the incident found that the pilots did not think their handiwork would be noticed, believing it would quickly disappear into the clouds. But after unsuccessfully trying to fly over the contrails, they were forced to land and refuel - and pictures had already been posted online. SOURCE

It has taken (three) years of development and delays, but BT is finally preparing to unveil its new logo. The chief executive, Philip Jansen, has confirmed plans to rebrand the telecoms company. On Wednesday BT filed a trademark application with the intellectual property office. BT said the new branding was still being finalised and was expected to be rolled out from August. “ We’ve shared our new logo with our colleagues today and will consult them on the detail as we gradually roll it out towards the end of the summer,” a spokesperson said. “ Our CEO has been very clear that the new mark symbolises real change. Making every BT employee a shareholder in the company is the first step towards transforming BT into a national champion that exceeds our customers’ expectations.” Use THIS LINK to get a sneak peek at the new logo.

Bet it cost a packet to 'design'
Cost to replace the old one must be £millions.

You can just about make out the subtle colourised glow at the edges and this is the white on dark background version. Sorry it’s in a bit of a low resolution but this is a "leak." SOURCE
