EDITORIAL on 1 January 1973 Big Ben Chimed the UK Into Membership of the European Economic Community (EEC)

EDITORIAL On 1 January 1973 Big Ben chimed the UK into membership of the European Economic Community (EEC). As this edition lands on your door mat, the UK has left as of 11pm on 31 January 2020 what became the European Union, quite possibly with a Bong. Some may well have so celebrated, but the smoke has now cleared. A long period of trade negotiations now begins and we know not what this will mean for life in our lovely parish. Shall we in due course see a plethora of electric Chevrolets and Dodges in our lanes or will Mercedes Benz and Renaults rule? Will The Bell be serving up Coq au Vin or Chlorinated Chicken Supreme?

Whether Dinner at The Diner or Breakfast at The Bistro, life will go on as we adjust to the nation’s newly acquired / regained status while our local seasonal rythms carry serenely on through the fêtes, fun and festivals that perpetuate our parish pleasures.

Some of us will remember in the times before we joined the Common Market the necessities when venturing abroad of purchasing an International Driving Licence from the AA, AA Five Star Continental Breakdown Cover, Bail Bonds for keeping out of Spanish jails should one drive across a white line, sneeze in front of a Guardia Civil Officer or worse, Green Cards for continental car insurance and having the rationed value of foreign currencies carried stamped in our passports. In those times, heading across the channel for the continent was somewhat exotic. It was truly ‘abroad’ and there was even a degree of excited anticipation while acquiring all these documents. Who knows, such things might reappear and will add rich fresh materials to Alan Stanton’s fascinating itinerant tales of exploring La Belle France.Your editor recalls his first expedition onto foreign soil in July 1969 when passing through the town of Calais and noting the bullet holes still evident in many walls from the unpleasantness of 25 years beforehand. Hopefully the scars from the most recent departure will be healed far more quickly as we continue to enjoy the great treasures that continental Europe offers us to see and learn from and our continental friends will enjoy all the good things that we have to offer them in return, including fine ales at The Bell.

Letter from The Parsonage My dear Friends Of course this makes us doubt God’s existence That was the headline of an article by the then archbishop Rowan Williams about the Indian Ocean earthquake and consequent tsunami that appeared shortly after that appalling event of Boxing Day 2004. Lambeth Palace reacted indignantly, arguing, very justly in my view, that it was not a fair summary of what the Archbishop had written. But then headline writers have an uncomplicated role to make us want to read what’s underneath. No mere tsunami must be allowed to stand in the way of that. My reason for bringing it up now 15 years later is that some may have similar thoughts in relation to recent and indeed current events such as the Indonesian tsunami of 2018, the floods in that country in the last 3 weeks, the White Island volcano eruption in New Zealand, South Africa suffering the worst drought in living memory with some areas having had no significant rainfall for 5 years, and of course the bush fires in Australia which so far have cost 29 human lives and about 500m animal ones, and destroyed 2,700 homes. But do such natural catastrophes make us doubt God’s existence? My view, for what it’s worth, is that unbelievers sometimes seize on such events to reinforce their atheism or agnosticism. Believers on the other hand (Christian believers at any rate), whilst they are saddened by the loss of life and moved to compassionate giving, maintain their belief in a God of love whose purposes are ultimately good, even if they cannot discern that good in each and every happening. This is true even of those closely involved. To quote Bishop Williams: The odd thing is that those who are most deeply involved—both as sufferers and as helpers—are so often the ones who spend least energy in raging over the lack of explanation. They are likely to shrug off, awkwardly and not very articulately, the great philosophical or religious questions we might want to press. Somehow, they are most aware of two things: a kind of strength and vision just to go on; and a sense of the imperative for

practical service and love. Somehow in all of this, God simply emerges for them as a faithful presence. Perhaps however we should attempt some kind of theodicy, a ‘defence’ of God against those who ‘put him in the dock’ when such disasters occur. Earthquakes result from the constant movement of the earth’s tectonic plates. Although this movement occasionally produces an earthquake, it is vital to life as a whole, for when the sea floor slides below the continental shelf, a process known as subduction, it takes with it the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. This process has helped regulate the temperature of our planet over millions of years. But like everything else in this world, the very thing which makes life possible can also destroy it. Electricity, chemistry, gravity they can all kill in a moment. Even the process of life itself can go wrong, leading to cancers and other diseases. An earthquake is just another example of this universal truth. We don’t notice when subduction keeps our planet inhabitable, but we notice very quickly when it goes wrong! And so we should, for the message in these catastrophes is that something is indeed wrong with the world. A direct link between at least some of them and human activity is now the stuff of almost daily news stories; as regards the rest, whilst we should emphatically not take them to be God’s judgment on any particular person or group of people, yet ultimately they are connected with man’s first disobedience. God said to Adam, ‘Because you have eaten of the tree… cursed is the ground because of you’, and the apostle Paul writes of the creation’s ‘bondage to decay’, from which it, as well as humanity, will be set free when Christ returns in majesty. A disaster even one that kills tens of thousands should not make us give up believing in God, but should make us question our attitude to him. Are we ever thankful for what we enjoy? Do we just pray to God when we need him and blame him when we are hurt? Above all, do we really appreciate the significance of human good and evil, and therefore the enormous scope and achievement of Christ’s salvation? Your sincere friend and Vicar

ParkingEye cave in

In December, the car parking enforcement company ParkingEye caved in on its long running battle with Maidenhead resident Rob Kuhner.

ParkingEye maintained that they had a right to demand a £100 penalty fee, as a contract had been entered into when Rob Kuhner drove into the car park of the Holiday Inn Maidenhead/Windsor. That terms and conditions displayed on signs in the car park had not been met.

Rob maintained that there was no contract in force for two reasons:

1. That the hotel runs an official advertisement on Tripadvisor, offering Free Car Parking without any terms or conditions. That this was the contract that he entered into.

2. And that three small signs in the car park giving different parking conditions were obscured by overgrown trees. They were impossible to see.

ParkingEye refused to back down and started legal action to claim their £100 fee plus other costs.

Under a Court’s procedure for trial action, Rob requested a copy of the parking contract between the hotel and ParkingEye. ParkingEye chose not to disclose a copy of the contract. Instead, they wrote to officially close the matter with no penalty fee due. The operators of the hotel, LGH Hotels Management Limited attempted to enforce a legal contract, forbidding Rob from disclosing information about the hotel, LGH Hotels or ParkingEye. This gagging order has not been entered.

The hotel made a minor adjustment to its Tripadvisor wording. It still has a banner headline, showing a logo of a car and the wording FREE PARKING. There are no terms or conditions to it.

Following the successful Mocktail & Cocktail evening in November, where we received over £350 for our local charity Yeldall Manor, along with our church donation of £ 1,088 ( see below) ,we are delighted to be holding another event to help raise funds for this fabulous local cause.

Join us for a Lent Lunch

in The Neville Hall on

Sunday 29th March at 12.30pm- 2.00pm

Everyone welcome just come along!

For further details please contact Fiona on 07793563204 or [email protected]

The WSL Church has to raise money to not only pay our Parish Share(which we have to pay to our Diocese to fund ministry and mission, both at a local parish level and throughout the Diocese) which is just over £33,000 this year but also to cover all the costs of maintenance, repairing and running our historical church, which last year was over £50,000. However, in recognition that there are many other calls for help and action around our world today. The WSL PCC felt it was important to give money to other charities who support people in different ways.

This year they chose Yeldall Manor and The Church Mission Society so in addition to the £1,088 mentioned above, they also sent the same amount to The Church Mission Society.

Dating Documents in the 20s: A Warning

While many of us normally abbreviate years – for example, by writing 2019 as “19” – doing so in 2020 can be dangerous.

Because the last two digits of the date – “20” – are also the first two digits of the current century, writing just “20” allows people to modify the date backwards or forwards with a great deal of ease. Easy modification may be acceptable – or even preferable – in diaries, school notes, or personal correspondence, but, when it comes to cheques and other important documents, it can be dangerous, and lead to fraud.

Unscrupulous folk can easily change dates to earlier dates. If you sign an agreement that requires you to make annual payments starting one year after the date of the contact, for example, and you date the agreement “1/6/20,” the counterparty could easily add “19” to the end of the date and demand that you make the first payment immediately, since the agreement commenced on “1/6/2019.”

Likewise, crooks can modify dates forwards. If you were the lender in the aforementioned example, the borrower could change “1/6/20” to “1/6/2021” or some later date, and refuse to pay you when the first payment – or first series of payments – should have become due.

Similar risks apply to cheques – a check dated “1/6/20” could theoretically be modified to any January 6th until 2100; if you stopped payment on a check written with an abbreviated date in 2020, you might need to close your account in order to prevent having to re-stop the check every 6 months for the rest of your life. In general, for at least two reasons, it is better to write out the full date whenever you are writing a document with any legal significance – “January 6, 2020” or “6 January 2020,” not “1/6/20,” or even “1/6/2020”:

1. Formats such as “1/6/20″ are ambiguous and can lead to confusion and conflicts; while most people understand “1/6/20” to mean January 6, 2020,” for example, many people in other regions, and some folks in the United States, interpret it to mean the 1st of June, 2020.

2. It is much harder to unscrupulously modify a fully written date than to similarly change its equivalent numeric shorthand. “1/6/2020,” for example, can be modified to “11/6/2020” far more easily than “January 6, 2020” can be changed to “November 6, 2020”.) In fact, for similar reasons, single-digit dates should ideally be written with a preceding zero (“January 06, 2020” instead of “January 6, 2020”) – but, for cultural and other reasons, few people are likely to follow such advice.

Thanks go to Isabelle C-B for raising this useful alert. Ed.

Meetings are held in The Neville Hall starting at 7.00pm Full minutes, including planning, highways and other detailed matters are available to view on the parish website : www.WSL.link

Jan ‘20 Update - Draft

Highlights of Jan. PC mtg. below, full draft minutes on website and notice boards.

Planning – in brief from following planning applications:  19/03455 OUT – Zacara Polo Ground, Shurlock Row: Replacement equestrian building – PC commented on the application’s calculations regarding temporary structures and possible conflict with policy GB2 and GB6  19/03460 CLU- Annexe Waltham House, Shurlock Road, WSL: Cert. of Lawfulness to determine if annexe as a separate dwelling is lawful – PC acknowledges this has been used as a separate dwelling and has no objection  19/03566 PDXL – Oak Tree Farm, Binfield: Single storey extension under PD rights – PC commented that the application with its history does not appear to fit within Permitted Development  20/00026 Full – Greenways, Milley Road, WSL: Single storey extension, porch canopy and relocation of entrance – no objection

Other Planning Matters  Bellman Hanger – Developer’s consultants have put forward mitigating information regarding developing adjacent to ancient woodland. However the points are for the original plan (3 houses) not for the current 18, and not seen as being relevant to the current situation  Parish Awareness: The PC is concerned that residents are not aware of what they are allowed and not allowed to do in terms of alterations and changes to property, gardens and land both in Greenbelt and in Conservation areas. o The PC has been made aware of several breaches and will take the appropriate action o March Lych Gate to carry more detail for awareness as to when planning is required in Greenbelt and Conservation areas (the 2 are different!)

Enforcement Notices and Appeals  No further updates

Finance – The January PC meeting approves the next fiscal year’s Precept and Budget. Due to certain conditions imposed by the auditor it was agreed to create specific reserve categories with budgets for each. After 40 minutes of discussion, some getting quite heated, the Budget Expenditure for 2020/21 was set at £30k, with the annual precept remaining at £24,500 (no change to current year)

Reports from Representatives  Pavement along Broadmoor Road – discussions with RBWM still ongoing  Speed limits – discussions still ongoing with RBWM, PC looking to borrow a Speed Indicator Device (SID) from White Waltham to gain real data and understand effectiveness, prior to purchasing  Additional posts to be added around the grassed area surrounding The Pound, with reflectors to warn parking cars of their presence  Shurlock Row Pond – no immediate spend required, investigations continuing  Dog Poo bins for Shurlock Row – suitable sites to be identified

Who does what – The rear inside cover of the Lych Gate gives contact details and responsibilities of the Parish Councillors. Please contact the appropriate representative for issues, concerns, requests, information. Asking questions on the Parish Facebook page is not the best forum as not all councillors subscribe! Also, if you have concerns please come down to the PC meeting in Feb and voice them?

Finally, with lease discussions starting on the Nature Reserve for the PC to assume responsibility, a suggestion was mentioned as a mere whisper of lawn mower racing during summer….what buffoonery, could this really happen…..?
