I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.
Is it me or is the news very narrow these days.
I turn on the news and they are talking about article 50.
There is wide spread flooding in Peru, but my local news barely mentions it, they keep on covering the same topics.
I remember when 200 children were kidnapped in North Nigeria and the press never reported it until there was pressure from social media.
I hope the news corporations can bring themselves to cover more reports and keep us better informed.
August 2026 was very hot and dry, we had a series of heat waves and a prolonged drought that persisted until the last few days of the month....
