Budget 2020: Egyptian Temple In Leeds Could Be Surprise Beneficiary Of Rishi Sunak’s Yorkshire Deal
The title of this post is the same as that of this article on iNews.
This is the introductory paragraph.
An iconic Victorian flax mill designed to look like an Egyptian temple could be the unexpected beneficiary of Rishi Sunak’s Budget windfall amid a proposal to turn it into a northern arm of the UK’s national library.
Sunak is contributing twenty-five million. to the conversion of the Grade One-Listed Temple Works.
Conclusion
I wondered where he would use some of the Government’s money in Yorkshire and this would appear to be where he has!
It is my belief, that this is the sort of bold plan we need to execute in this country!

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on Rail Advent.
This is the introductory paragraph.

I shall be adding pictures to this post, when I find out how to add them using this terrible new Microsoft Surface computer.
COV-19 Isn’t Good For Chuggers
Outside Marks & Spencer on Dalston Kingsland Road this morning, I was accosted by a chugger.
I told him that because of the coronavirus, that I wouldn’t be stopping.
He gave a knowing look and allowed me to walk on!
He didn’t look pleased and I suspect, I wasn’t the first to give him that excuse.
My Past Is Worrying Me!
It must have been in the early 1970s, when I was acting as a mathematical-modelling consultant.
I was asked to do some modelling by a major drug company of the propagation of a virus through the UK population.
Their aim was to show how serious these pandemics could be and they wanted to get substantial grants from the Government to fund various lines of research.
With their data and the model I built, we were able to show how a dangerous pandemic could evolve.
But I never found out how successful they were in obtaining the money needed to start the research!
It does look like this pandemic could be the one that researchers at the company were predicting nearly fifty years ago.
Is A Microsoft Surface Pro, Windows 10 and OneDrive A Toxic Combination For This WordPress User?
I have now got a brand-new Microsoft Surface Pro and quite frankly except for the large screen, it is a load of old crap!
I run Office 365 and store my files on OneDrive and I have done for nearly a year, but the combination seems to lock me out of my Excel files on the OneDrive all the time.
- I can’t seem to Autosave like I used to, as it says that I am blocked.
- It also keeps showing me non-responsive login buttons to OneDrive.
- It tells me I am required to sign in to save the file, but won’t let me sign in.
Knickers and twist come to mind!
And then there’s WordPress.
I am trying to change a picture, which I want to upload into a post.
I get the Select File page, but it is totally unresponsive.
Luckily, I could change the picture using a Windows 7 laptop.
