  In November 8, 1989 she told the UN: "While the conventional, political dangers - the threat of global annihilation, the fact of regional war - appear to be receding, we have all recently become aware of another insidious danger. It is the prospect of irretrievable damage to the atmosphere, to the oceans, to earth itself.  What we are now doing to the world, by degrading the land surfaces, by polluting the waters and by adding greenhouse gases to the air at an unprecedented rate - all this is new in the experience of the earth. It is mankind and his activities that are changing the environment of our planet in damaging and dangerous ways." She continued: "The result is that change in future is likely to be more fundamental and more widespread than anything we have known hitherto. It is comparable in its implications to the discovery of how to split the atom. Indeed, its results could be even more far-reaching.  It is no good squabbling over who is responsible or who sh...

  In 1935, Chad Varah officiated at the funeral of a 13 year old girl. The girl mistook menstruation for venereal disease and died from suicide, She Felt she had no one she could share her thoughts and fears with . He says, “I might have dedicated myself to suicide prevention then and there, providing a network of people you could ‘ask’ about anything, however embarrassing. Samaritans was able to give people a space where they could potentially find objectivity and perhaps a way forward, through being listened to. 

  While at Brooklands, I visited the stratosphere chamber. As an engineer I was fascinated by it. And the expense and trust in the engineer that allowed that expense. I’d like to write a piece for LinkedIn about the stratosphere chamber the engineering behind it; the safety requirements needed for it; there was a large bank of CO2 cylinders for fire extinguishing as there is methanol and vulcanised rubber involved What it was for what was tested in it How the atmosphere inside was achieved and sealed Id also like to comment on the process of funding, funding approval and gaining trust to spend such a huge amount of money on such a huge project. Could you help me with a piece that summarises the stratosphere chamber, It’s engineering, its health and safety aspects and the relationship between engineers, the people funding the work and how that might have changed since Barnes Wallace‘s days. Absolutely. I think there is a very good LinkedIn piece here because the chamber gives you a ...

  It’s amazing what history comes up when you visit both Croydon and Brooklands in one day Roberta Cowell (1918–2011) was a racing driver, engineer and Second World War fighter pilot  — a remarkable combination of talents in an era when women were rarely seen in either the cockpit or the racing paddock. She was educated at Whitgift School in Croydon , where she became an enthusiastic member of the school’s Motor Club — an early indication of her lifelong fascination with cars and engineering. Brooklands was part of her early racing story.  She would sneak into the Brooklands paddock dressed in mechanic’s overalls, offering to help drivers and mechanics so that she could learn about racing from the inside. She began competitive motor racing in the 1930s , winning her class in the 1936 Land’s End Speed Trial and going on to compete in the 1939 Antwerp Grand Prix. During the Second World War, she became an RAF fighter pilot.  Flying Spitfires, she was shot down over Ger...
