Chilly out this morning, could end up the 1st 15C max for 3 months.

The first autumnal feeling day after a lovely 'still-like-summer' weekend.

A maximum of 15.5C making it the coldest day maximum since 14.0C on the
1st June.

[OT] Ken Clarke reckons Jeremy Corbyn will be the next Prime Minister.

Privatisation of all the utility companies is needed. At the moment we
have EDF which is a state owned French company supplying electricity,
not for the goodness of its French heart but to make lots of money out
of us. A proportion of the profits from British bill payers are going
into the French government's coffers. This also applies to the myriad of
other foreign owned utilities where profit made from UK bill payers is
going abroad and aiding the exchequers financies in other countries.

I think Christian Wolmar, a rail industry analyst sums it up nicely: “It
is a completely daft situation where state-run companies in foreign
countries can bid for our rail services but UK ones can’t. It is
specifically banned by law for the likes of Transport for London, or
Directly Operated Railways to bid for UK rail contracts.”

Methinks that applies to some of our other utilities too....
