    Chat GPt - a way to go for reliable information

    I asked to tell me what it knew about the MNRC, and the answer was convincing but wrong on pretty much every front - basically a collection of fact ls about anything matching Mendip, Nature, and Research. However it did such a good job of pretending to know what it was talking about that I'm...

    Roger Windsor

    Hi Folks, I guess this can count as lost and found ? I had this request from a former MNRC member - can anyone help ? -- Seek to contact my former friend and your member Roger Windsor. Time has passed. Roger was a member during the 1970's and 80's. I took part in a dig at Snake Pit...

    Brexit

    The global economy has changed a lot in the last 40 years, and in the same period we were a member of the EU.  That doesn't make one the cause of the other - unless of course you belive everything must be blamed on someone else. The concept that we can suddenly switch away from getting 80% of...

    Brexit

    When you spend 4 years running the clock down because you know from the start that you can never deliver what you persuaded people to vote for all that is left is the choice between a very crap deal and an even worse no deal.  Is that what you mean by a pragmatic choice ?
