100 years of the British Legion Amnesty International celebrates 60 years
Amnesty International was founded in London sixty years
ago, on 28th May 1961.
A non-governmental organisation with its headquarters in
the United Kingdom, Amnesty International focuses on
human rights and is believed to have more than seven
million members and supporters around the world. It was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 for its “defence of
human dignity against torture”.
Amnesty came together following the publication of an
article in The Observer,‘The Forgotten Prisoners’, by Peter
Benenson, a Jewish lawyer whose mother Flora Benenson
was Russian. His father Harold Solomon was British, but
he died when Peter was nine. Peter, who was tutored by
W H Auden and went to Eton and Balliol, took his mother’s
name much later as a tribute to his grandfather, a gold

and it continues this work today.
In 1922, the Legion’s poppy factory opened in the Old Kent
Road, London, with 40 disabled men manufacturing 1000
poppies a week. The first Poppy Day was held that same
year. The Festival of Remembrance began in 1927, and
the Legion became ‘Royal’ in 1971 – 50 years ago – on its
golden anniversary.
At first membership of the Legion was confined to ex-
Service personnel, but it was expanded to include serving
members of the Forces in 1981.

Bishop of London welcomes plan to make non-fatal strangulation a crime
Following the recent announcement that the Government will introduce an amendment to the Domestic Abuse Bill to
make non-fatal strangulation a specific criminal offence punishable by five years’ imprisonment, the Bishop of London,
Sarah Mullally, said:
"It is extremely welcome news that the Government is acting to criminalise strangulation through the Domestic Abuse
Bill.
“I look forward to the culmination of the ground-breaking bill in legislation. It is the product of the persistence of an
enormous number of brave women.”
Bishop Sarah paid tribute to them and also to those who steered the bill through the House of Lords, namely Baroness
Newlove, Baroness Wilcox of Newport, Baroness Meacher, and the government minister Lord Wolfson of Tredegar.
She said: "Together, we have joined forces to make sure the efforts of campaigners, researchers, and legislators have
not been in vain.”

be obvious they were tourists. At one point, the priest spoke and the man sitting next to them stood up, so they
got up, too. The entire congregation broke into hearty laughter.
After the service they approached the priest, who spoke English, and asked him what had been so funny. The
priest said he had announced a birth in the parish and had asked the father to stand up.

RIP Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip died aged 99 on Friday, 9th April in Windsor Castle. His funeral on Saturday, 17th April will take place at St George’s Chapel in the castle grounds. Due to corvid -19 restrictions only 30 members of the family will attend, but the funeral will be broadcast on national TV. Following the service he will be interred in the Royal Vault in the chapel. However, when the Queen dies he will be transferred to the gothic church’s King George VI memorial chapel to lie alongside his wife of 73 years. The tiny chapel houses the remains of the Queen’s father George Vi, her mother the Queen Mother and her sister Princess Margaret.

Emails - a blessing or a problem? Emails are a great way of communicating. You can send a message to someone in the same parish or across the world almost instantly. Lawyers always ask, “have you got evidence in writing?” Telephone calls or face to face conservations are still evidence but it is difficult to prove what was said. Conversations are recorded so you can see the chain of who said what and when. Emails are quick and free. Emails can, however, easily be harmful. You can accidentally send a personal or private message to the wrong person or even worse copy it to lots of people. It is also difficult to judge the tone of an email, whether it is light-hearted or serious, cross or joyful. When are on the telephone or speaking face to face it is easier to tell whether the speaker is feeling angry or light-hearted. Sometimes we need a break. Emails are good but many people find you can never get away from them and constantly check for business messages while at home or on leave. Perhaps we should not send emails to the vicar on a Sunday night while she is watching Strictly. Some discussions are better face to face, and always double check who you are sending it to or copying to. Have you ever laughed at a joke you did not understand? Then you are not alone. It seems that two thirds of us have laughed at jokes we did not ‘get’, simply because we wanted to fit in with our friends at the time. And more than half of us have actually gone on to repeat jokes with punchlines which we don’t ourselves understand. More than half of us have even researched a joke in order to try and figure out what was supposed to be so funny about it. In research done by a British neuroscientist, it was found that humour that relies on puns or more obscure concepts is the most likely to confuse audiences. While laughter is universal, humour is very subjective. People all over the world laugh, but what they find to be funny varies widely, depending on culture, context and language. During the research, it was found that two of the most misunderstood jokes are: Some Omega-3 vitamins fell on my head when I opened the cupboard. I got super fish oil injuries. What does a dyslexic, agnostic insomniac do at night? He stays up wondering if there really is a dog. Is there life without the BBC? Could you live happily without the BBC? Just try it for two weeks. That was the recent challenge of the corporation’s outgoing chairman, Sir David Clementi, to a group of critics who said they resented the licence fee. Apparently, nine days later, two thirds of the critics had changed their mind and said that the licence was worth every penny. Sir David observed that when “things that they took for granted are removed from them, they realise how valuable the BBC is.” So he encourages anyone else who thinks that the license is not worth £3 a week, to try life without the BBC. “I think that most people would find it very hard to cope.” Prince Philip: Coverage of royal death poses quandary for BBC The 109,741 complaints the BBC received over its coverage of the Duke of Edinburgh's death has set a new record. Viewers were incensed when scheduled programmes on BBC 1, 2 and Radio 4 were cancelled for programmes covering the life of the Duke of Edinburgh. The MasterChef 2021 final and EastEnders were among the high profile shows cancelled. The BBC set up a special complaints page on the website after admitting receiving messages complaining about too much coverage. They responded by saying changes to its programming schedule do not take place without careful consideration and the decision reflects the BBC’s role as a national broadcaster. Despitr complaints coverage on the life of Prince Philip will continue ahead of his funeral on Saturday. People set to play a key role in the service and ceremonial procession will be interviewed by Huw Edwards. On Saturday there will be live coverage of the event from 12.30pm and a further reflective programme at 8pm in the evening. Coronvirus restrictions means although only 30 members of the Royal family and Duke’s staff can attend the service in St George’s Chapel there will be several hundred military personal lining the route through the castle grounds. Military Commanders and Chiefs of Staff, the Household Cavalry and the Foot Guards, along with military detachments from units that had special connections with Prince Philip will take part in the ceremonial funeral. The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has said he will not be there but will watch it on TV. Next issue June 2021 Deadline May 10th 2021 7
Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway
Following on from the hard work of our volunteers since our reopening last
Summer and our Santa Experience trains, we are delighted to be restarting
services on Tuesday 13th April 2021.
Naturally, we are operating in a ‘Covid safe’ environment to make your visit as
safe and enjoyable for you, our volunteers and local residents. We are offering
you the opportunity to pre-book your tickets and, if required, refreshments that will
be delivered to your designated compartment of the train.
The Train Layout and Prices
We will be running six-carriage trains; five carriages will be compartment stock. On our normal steam-hauled
services each compartment will be available at a minimum cost of £50 for up to two people, with each
additional person costing £10 up to a maximum total of 6 people per compartment (total £90). We ask that
you ensure that the make-up of your group complies with Government rules. The sixth carriage will be an
open coach and will have seating available for individuals and couples at a cost of £25 per person.
We have limited the number of people in the carriages to ensure that we can conform to the government’s
guidance on social distancing, so we ask that customers limit movement around the train and observe social
distancing rules on platforms and carparks. Please do not stand in the corridors.
Carriages, compartments, and seats will be clearly marked, and we will have station assistants available to
help with directions.
In line with other transport bodies and following good practice, face
coverings will be required by passengers travelling on our services
and whilst on the platform. These may be removed whilst seated in
a compartment. Those exempt include children under 11 years old,
passengers with disabilities, those with breathing difficulties and
anyone travelling with someone who relies on lip reading.
Face coverings can be temporarily removed while eating.
If you have not booked, you may still be able to travel if there are
unreserved seats/compartments available.
We look forward to welcoming you to our railway very soon.

The first Sunday in May is Rogation Sunday. This
is when many parishes still ‘beat the bounds’.
Rogation means an asking of God - for blessing on
the seed and land. The practice began with the
Romans, who processed around the cornfields each
Spring, singing and dancing, sacrificing animals, in
order to get rid of evil. About 465 AD the Western
world was suffering from earthquake and storm.
Mamertius, Bishop of Vienne, aware of the pagan
custom, ordered that prayers should be said in the
ruined or neglected fields. Thus ‘beating the
bounds’ became a Christian ceremonial. It arrived
in England early in the eighth century. Each Spring,
led by the priest, a little party from the parish would
set out with a Cross to trace the boundaries of the
parish. They’d implore God to keep their corn and
roots and boughs in good health, and bring them to
harvest. In the days when maps were scarce,
‘beating the bounds’ helped remind everyone just
where the boundaries were. Do you know yours
today?

What will happen to our offices in the future?
There will be less of them – a lot less.
In fact, one recent study warns that the pandemic
will mean office space in the UK shrinks by a fifth,
which is 18 million square ft.
Certainly, the current flexibility of working from
home, brought on by the pandemic, seems set to
bring in permanent changes, according to the risk
management and insurance broker Gallagher.
In the future, office will be mainly for collaborating or
attending meetings, or for storing vital equipment
and IT. Working in an office five days a week will
become a thing of the past. And of course, that, in
turn, will have a profound impact on the look and
shape of our cities.

Subject to the ongoing easing of lockdown in England the Cotswold Wardens are
aiming to restart the guided walks programme in a safe and careful way. As such, from
mid-May, details of the walks available will be on the website (below) where walkers
must reserve their place through the booking system as numbers will be capped to
keep the walks manageable.
https://www.cotswoldsaonb.org.uk/visiting-and-exploring/guided-walks/
The walk leaders are very much looking forward to once again, guiding walkers around
our lovely local countryside.
PLEASE use appropriate footwear as some walks may be steep and muddy in places. MODERATE -
includes some hills and rough ground. STRENUOUS – may be rough underfoot and ascents and descents
may be steep.
The Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has been given a new name and a new logo.
The cumbersome AONB title has been replaced by Cotswolds National Landscape in a bid to bring together
the AONB with the national parks.
The Cotswolds Conservation Board announced the new name and logo in reaction to the findings in Julian
Glover’s Landscapes Review published in 2019.
The review proposed that National Parks and AONBs should be brought together, as “one family of national
landscapes.”
The Board said it was clear - in the midst of a pandemic - people cherished the great outdoors – and it
should be enjoyed and looked after.
The new look for the Cotswolds was inspired by the special qualities of the Cotswolds
landscape, the logo retains and amplifies the Cotswold Lion sheep synonymous with the
region, now features the updated ‘Cotswolds National Landscape’ name, and presents a
bold new colour.
The Board said it gives a respectful nod to the heritage of the Cotswolds, but showcases
the area in a more energetic, invigorating, and inviting way.
Andy Parsons, its new Chief Executive said, “We firmly believe that this landscape is for everyone to enjoy
and explore; and we hope that this exciting step will help people to better understand what we’re about –
looking after the Cotswolds National Landscape, and helping people connect with nature in the
Cotswolds.”
