Trivia: May 2007 Archives

Traffic England.

This little gem from the Highways Agency will help you plan your road travel within England. It provides live traffic information updated in real time. Details of delays, incidents & roadworks are all displayed on a zoomable map.

In a rural community like ours, not only is the weather a favourite topic of conversation but it is a vital component in the farming industry. Since this site launched, there has always been a link to a forecast from the nearest weather station (Waddington).

For many years the data has been supplied by the Weather Underground. This is a US based service that allows a small summary plugin to be used on websites. Clicking through the plugin takes you to a busy page with much more detailed weather data.

The UK's own Met Office also produce excellent UK based forecasts. Their layout is much cleaner and, in our opinion, simpler to understand. The weather link in the sidebar has been updated to the Met Office forecast for Lincoln (Waddington). The latest weather in our area is also available on this page.

For those that demand the extra level of detail, The Weather Underground's plugin will remain on the site for the moment in the useful links section.

Its just been pointed out that the comments on the News pages are not working. It must have been like this since the upgrade at the start of last month.

The errant script has been re-installed and the comments checked to ensure they are now working.

Thanks to Philip for pointing it out.
