So, therefore, DC is talking absolute rubbish in attempting to justify his London-North East movements, especially the Barnard Castle visit. I know. It is my original homeland.

Barnard Castle is a beautiful Northern town don't get me wrong. I know it more than most. It is not a place renowned for checking your eyesight unless things have changed in the last 20 years.

I'm from Whitley Bay. My Dad was Headteacher at Longbenton High School, then Gosford High School. We moved to Durham when I was in Y12. My brother owned High Force Hotel, 14 miles from Barnard Castle. He went to Houghall College. My eyesight was never better in Barnard Castle!

Oh, and I forget.; entirely prescient! https://t.co/HBVr2U4ZCV

Lieutenant General David Morrison of the Australian Army 13th June 2013. Look at his whole speech on whatever search engines you can find like Youtube. Some speeches are timeless. This is one of them! https://t.co/RbcPQkTCo4

Thank you PM! I'm sure all the teachers @TheCooperSchool will appreciate this. https://t.co/2TpkJVwOMX
