In 1706, Thomas Twining first set up shop on London's Strand. In the age of coffee shops, he was the man who loved tea and was dedicated to discovering the world's finest.

Evening anti (and Channon if you are reading this). Nice day again. Looking forward to the weekend. I will keep my eyes open for the Grey Label Langhorne Creek, it sounds interesting.

The 1707 Union brought an end to Scotland's parliament, but it preserved the Scottish legal system, its own established church, and its own universities. The Act of Union, then, was as much about preserving Scotland's unique identity as it was securing political union. Whether it was intended or not, there was great wisdom here. The United Kingdom was conceived and born in difference. It's what we today call pluralism - a society that sees differences not as weakness but as a gift. There would be nothing worse for the United Kingdom than if all our rich cultural identities were diluted, and we ended up as a carbon copy of the South East of England. Scotland has been a major force in ensuring that this is not the case. So, yes, London is a major building block of the United Kingdom. But so too are the Highlands, historic Edinburgh, the Gaelic-speaking Isles, and urban centre of Glasgow. We all lose, then, if Scotland decides to opt out of the Union. Politically, it would ironically represent a massive transfer of power to the South-East of England. The ability of Scottish MPs to act as a counter-weight to the political power of the South-East would disappear. Hey Woopert - sunny morning following overnight precipitation - off on the punt this arvo after golf - no footy tomorrow my lot got knocked out last week - the words shopping and laundry spring to the fore - Hope you have a good weekend (you to Channon) ATB

Enjoy the remainder of the weekend.
Confronted by the banking collapse and credit crunch of 2008, most commentators have sought comparisons with the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the event that heralded the Great Depression of the 1930s. But for historians inclined to delve a little further into the past, there are equally calamitous financial meltdowns from which to seek instruction. The financial crisis that troubled France in 1709, for example, has not received anything like the attention it deserves. It came at the very worst moment for Louis XIV, during the long War of the Spanish Succession, which had begun in 1701 and was to last until 1714. It was a crisis so deep that the finances of the French monarchy never recovered properly. Evening Woopert - sunny morning made better by our result - Pardew is on borrowed time methinks - its turnaround time - firing the BBQ for breakfast bacon bangers mushrooms tomatoes then a read of the sunday papers and watch full replay of our game always record it as the memory can be sometimes hazy after a Saturday night - ATB
