Wrong place, wrong time

The name of the village of Nelson, north of Cardiff, was described as ‘problematic’ in an audit commissioned by the Welsh parliament, on the grounds that Admiral Nelson is claimed to have opposed the abolition of slavery. Some other place names that might not be safe:

— Blackboys, East Sussex

— Blackgang, Isle of Wight

— Churchill, Devon, North Somerset, Oxfordshire, Worcestershire

— Colston Bassett, Notts

— Lower Bitchfield, Lincs

— Nelson, Lancashire

So much hot air

The government claims that the UK has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 43% since 1990. Is that a fair claim?

— The figure refers to territorial emissions only: emissions physically spewed out in the UK. It excludes aviation, shipping and emissions from farms and factories elsewhere in the world in the cause of producing goods for UK consumers.
