Been thinking...

Morning all. I'm awake at stupid-o'clock after a bizarre dream about Ed Miliband doing a Louis Theroux-style documentary about the disappearing cafes in the old Sheffield Castle Market. I think it shows that a) I'm too absorbed by politics at the moment if I'm dreaming about it and b) with the ongo...

Not very good sample of S10,

fair number of labour up already

Haven't got time to look at moment,
so picked one at random from middle of list & googled
Ron Mackingtosh,
Director of CSR,
in process of being taken over by Qualcomm
Think this is Qualcomm Inc who have been in spotlight in America for political donations.
Doesn't bode well for rest of list.
