The unexpected Birthday Bash Literally

 On September the 28th 2020 during an early dark evening I met up with my mum and dad to celebrate my birthday as I had not seen my dad in over a year. I use a mobility scooter to get around due to Lower spinal damage and impairment's in my legs. My dads' current level of copd and his health has declined so much that he must use a powered wheelchair to get around. He risks his dignity and health to make the trip to Skegness to see me on this day with all his effort. Even as we sit around a table at the Trawlers catch, he sat there with his chips just to feel part of the table. Even though he could manage only 2 or three chips he was showing that he really wanted to join in but couldn't and he just sat there in a daze. And since I last saw him last year, I can see that things are degrading in him so much. He also has a pacemaker to monitor his heart. So, this day was a very important day for me mainly because I got to see him. After our meal, we headed to the Artisan Skegness café. They were closing early in about 20 minutes time but my dad said that’s still enough time. So, we taken a seat before having a nice hot drink. And it was getting on to just pass 7 before we had finished our drinks to leave. I saw them safely to Rutland road to Sherwood B&B on Rutland Road but my dad needed emergency toilet so as he had to scale some step to get relief and limited with mobility access. I talked with my mum outside, she wanted to make sure that I let her know when I get back safe because it got so dark early. I explained my route to my home near Aldi supermarket off burgh road. I am a caring person when around public and always offer them the right of way and always pride myself to reduce my speeds because do care. So, let's get back to my journey home I had just crossed road by a B&B on corner before making a safe decision to use pavement due the darkness on roads and my past accidents dealing with holes. I drove in centre of pavement to avoid small creatures and people, but little did I know, A force suddenly caused a shunt force through front bumper strait up my back and bent back my wheels into the bodywork. And yet I was confused as I saw nothing at all dead in front of me, I had my headlights on but the glare from my dash board was too bright like having a torch light in face and when wearing glasses, now that makes it worst. I climbed off my scooter whilst holding tight with scooter steering to try feel for whatever stopped me. And then I felt a solid bollard and still could not see it at all. I got on my seat confused by asking myself why a bollard there, Then I looked to my right to try and workout why it was so dark there. The streetlight wasn’t even on, and I noticed it was still early in the evening. As I tried to reverse up, I noticed my front wheels bent into my bodywork, As I felt the body work near wheel, a piece broken off from body, and this was the only way wheels could go around. There was a person looking down from a window at me in distress but he had zero interest of being of help and just watched quietly and that made me at un ease, So made an effort to get back to my flat, even though scooter was going to the left and had limited turning. I don’t normally have pains in my back when sitting up, but I did during my difficult drive to my home. I had a very difficult time trying to get it in my flat with limited turning. I had a hard time to relax because I think my body is in shock or something 

Now people are asking me, am I insured? 

Now here I am going to explain my awkward situation regarding that.

 At the end of 2019 my sister referred me to a company who can let me set up an arrangement that would allow me to get out more. After lots of Taxi costs and a recent accident that could have left me with a second ankle injury because of very bumpy dark pavement from going by the bungalows before the car-park to the shopping complex of Aldi M&S etc. I needed mobility to help, as walking also caused immense back pains just after a few steps. 

Here is how I got my scooter:

Someone visited to explain everything and my choices and options. And set a date for bringing over scooters to see what I should have. There was a model that was perfectly for me and my larger body and documents were wrote up for me but the scooter in question turned out to be slightly too wide because of a storage heater that is never used. It would take me some time before I get permission to move it. So, he left travelled back to where ever he came from. So, they ended up sending someone else with the agreed scooter the kymco agility.

 Then I asked them to update the changes on the agreement pack and welcome documents.

 But it seemed in the end that I was still paying the same money as the better more expensive model. 

But they said that’s normal and taken advantage of my situation. 

I am not very good with forms at all so it takes me a while to really understand what is going on sometimes. But they speedily set the process up and confused me with payment dates and told me I get the first 3 months of platinum cover with my scooter. So just before the 3-month cover was nearing I had calls from the company's insurance, I had told him that I have already called the mobility company and talked to someone who promised me a call back. I emailed and Left messages and even when the insurance called me back. I told him I am running out of time but still I tried to get In-touch with anyone at office. They closed down the office and the staff are all self-isolating so there was no one to help me continue my Platinum cover. It seemed there was no service at all even if I was still valid. So, I had to accept that I can only rely on myself now. I was left to try and survive all by myself, I have puncher emergencies had hard time getting replacement inner-tubes because shops were all closed. Lucky for me, A local mobility company PEOPLE FIRST Mobility brought an inner tube to my home, and allowed me to pay for it when shops open again. Not long after another puncture and another inner-tube it was costing me a arm and a leg and being forced to stay in. So, it taken me a while but I finally got solid in filled tyres at the back 2 wheels. Not only have I been paying more for a less quality scooter than originally planned. The scooter they have given me has a serious safety issue as I mentioned above. How this has passed safety I have no idea. If only they let me continue the cover, I would have been covered. So, feel I may have a claim against them, I don’t want to do this, but now I am stranded and stuck paying loads of money every month for no access. Just turning key brings up flashing spanner, Meaning the scooter knows it is very damaged.

it is very obvious at the wheels that its really bad, 

It's just ashame the bumper has no shock absorbing ability to the shockwave. 

 If anyone can assist me here, I will be very grateful

Why are England Recovered Numbers N/A?

It is time for me to say what needs to be said.
Every country outside England seems to be doing great when it comes down to people recovering and the lower death counts.
look below at an example

It doesn't take a genius at all to see that there is something really wrong with the UK numbers.
until they listed the numbers for England

Now I am gobsmacked, the recovered count isn't even taken from England at all.
Also, it doesn't even count Boris Johnson in the recovered at least.
So if these numbers are correct, that would mean we're about to have another 130k more deaths in the very near future.

Now look at Hong Kong, they seemed to be nipping a virus right in the butt.
Now that is results if they are telling the truth.

Now, look at Germany and Russia, A very well done to them where people are recovering in such high numbers.

So my difficulty now lies with England's Lockdown, and the fact they say the peak has begun to level out. and fewer people dying.
when you look at our numbers, our country is nowhere near a good result and recently it's been said the COVID-19 strain has just mutated into an even more contagious form that acts out its damage to the people's immune system and body like never before and the government recon that the new strain will mean the cure injection won't work against and that they expect a lot of deaths even when people have been injected.
They may be covering their own backs in advance, as the inoculation they may give us may add to an increase of deaths.

It is very strange how older people in care homes have died because of the virus.
I am not sure if they died from the virus or as a result of changes as a result of the virus affecting the economy and the so-called end of life cull, taking away the medicines that would normally keep them alive and the cost for their care, as a way of finding funds to cover other needs.

Whilst Boris Johnson was in Hospital, The people who talked on his behalf mentioned a word so many times, "Sacrifice"  We have all had to make Sacrifices to help improve our situation, But the eyes of the speaker doesn't show emotional expressions to the words he speaks.
More like long doom and gloom face pulling his skin from under his eyes like a bulldog.

If anyone has anything to share, please comment and would be open to your points of view.

I would be grateful if you could follow this blog.
And get in touch if you have any local news to report
I do this as a hobby by the way

No Pets at Home *unfortunately the store won't be opening anymore*

Just like many people in Skegness who love their pets and love to show affection with treats and fun,
There is never too much choice when they are here right now.
I been looking forward to treating my pets from before they were built.
And today i decided to get in touch with some one at customer services just to get confirmation of the store being opened as planned.
 Here is what I was replied:
From Stuart:
It was decided this week that unfortunately the store won't be opening anymore.

I then said so many people have been looking forward to it opening from ages.

Stuart:

There appears to be some confusion about our plans for a Pets at Home store in Skegness so we want to take this opportunity to clarify. We keep our opening plans under regular review as store openings can take some time to come to fruition and both the retail environment and the property market can be volatile. At a recent review of our store opening plans we decided, with regret, not to progress with our plan to open a store in Skegness. We appreciate that this will be disappointing to customers who were looking forward to a new store and apologize for the change in our plans. All colleagues that have been recruited & have already started training with us will continue with this before taking up alternative positions in one of our nearby stores.

They were his final words.
Please let your friends know about this so they don't continue to get their hopes up just like us.

They originally seemed to be a very caring pet store, by the way they do things, and its that part of the service that got my attention.

please comment about what you views are here,

A poem for a New Skegness

Skegness beach poem that I wrote to express my feelings in my own way.
Written by myself Dean Bradford



Sitting down on Skegness beach
Cascading clouds in heavens Reach
Surroundings of pale blue highs and sounds.

Moods are taken with the winds
Mirrored realities reflect the sands
Cascading clouds in chattered lands.
All I can say is this awakens my emotions and washes doubt away into the pale blue forces.

Sitting or standing on the sand, an expansion of my mind projected over the stones that be.
Looking for stones of greens and deep blues of the sea.
Glinting jewels of a time that once was.
In washed up whispers of bygones ages
Whispers of joys and and natures rages.

Let the sea wash away those doubtful thoughts
Waves of wisdom to wash away the sorrowful ways.
Blown forever lightly, through a lifting violet haze.

Skegness people let down with low resident vote counts during ESA and JSA battles

In the past 12 months, this country has shaken the bee's nest, stinging the public with worry and confusion leading people with mobility issues trapped and in many cases, With no food or electricity or eviction notices because they have no support any more.
Whats even worst is single people with learning disabilities and mobility issues being forced to try beyond their mental abilities to meet up with JSA requirements after having no more help from ESA.
When they get turned down any repeat claims, They are refused before they even start the process again.
So what choices do they have now?
They could think about their hunger pains and be mentally unstable with  no way of knowing how to cope.
In December 2014 just after Christmas a tenant of Burgh House in Skegness was cornered by hunger and no money and no electricity  and suffered quietly and never told any of his close friends of his problems and only called out for help briefly on Facebook.
If he wasn't so stubborn and didn't remove his close neighbors as friends then his message may have been heard.

John Rambo who originally had his name changed by depoll to escape troubled growing up with family that caused him to want to disconnect all ties.
He wasn't found for about 3 weeks since his death and a Facebook conversation does describe a person struggling to cope,
John was a high level case diabetic with dead toes that were breaking off and he was struggling with his hands with grip as he was losing the ability to animate movement of fingers.

A Facebook chat confirms that John was Pressured and treated as a person that would be looking for full time jobs, and their requirements were so difficult to meet and with voluntary work at charity shop together would make it very difficult to find and apply with CV at least 6 jobs a week that had to be written down and assisted with proof.

This is just an example and people are dieing all over the UK, there is a death toll being circulated around the public to be reaching Numbers passed 10.000 and this makes this country seem almost we are going back to medieval times.
Also  when people are sent to be assessed, the line of questions has been designed to ensure that most people will fail and the assessor will be working with the financial bonuses that are rewarded to all that they fail.

During the time when Margret Thatcher was in power just before the 90s, Schools up the country were struggling with funding issues that caused a lot of substituted replacement teachers to fill in the teachers on strike.
This meant that the last few years of school when learning was so important so they could gain any chance to leave with qualifications.  

here is a list of issues of schooling that lead to problems with people in their early 40s today:

• No designated teacher to teach lesson
• no home work
• text books not marked (meaning we don't know if we were right or wrong)
• No textbooks and sometimes had to write on used backs of photo copies 
• No exam qualifications or GCSE or O'level results.

Now take a person who normally did work that was physical and has no skills whose learning process was disrupted and lost their physical skills (Cant walk) what you have is lots of people who
with extreme limited options.

Now lets take Skegness for example, the amount of people who have had their dignity  ran down to the ground with worry and confusion to such an extent that they don't know how to even understand how its even possible improve their would be even a Councillor who could even listen and take notice and stand up for these people who need saving.

Skegness is missing too many peoples votes because their minds are so muggled and confused because of the immense weight that has been bestowed upon them.
And any understanding genuine councilors who want to listen and understand their locals are simply hidden  among the rage and shouts of a less understanding competition.

Today the thunder and heavy down pour lead my path to MC Donald's near the Skegness pier and a busy room lead my seating to cross paths with a Councilor Mark Anderson.
I was asked have i voted yet, At that point i responded "I don't plan to vote because i don't understand the commitments of the councilors enough to cast any vote.

It was really good that he asked me this because i had a chance to pass on the message that is respected by all the people who are currently being bullied and i decided to speak on their behalf.
Also I shared a few cost cutting ideas of my own that could save the council a lot of money that could in turn create a better town with people who know why its important to vote.

I am a very Emphatic person and could see in Marks eyes a waking up relief of a person who had adsorbed and listened to my words and really felt connected and ready to tackle challenges of the people in Skegness.

He is the  Mark of Genuine-ity  He is very awake and ready to be the start of Skegness waking up and smelling the fresh ground coffee.

New Strawberryless - Strawberry Jam

I have been floating about with this idea in my head for about 3 years now.

And finally i managed to trial and error until i could master the art of creating a simulated strawberry jam.

And at the beginning of May 2012 i finally created the 1st ever jar.

I have had friends taste it and they were amazed beyond reckoning.

Only i know its secret correct balance to create this perfect jam.

This is like cute strawberry jam in taste.

You can try and tell your brain that there are tomatoes in the jam.

But your mind will still taste Strawberry.

I have given it a slight spiced background that helps enrich the fruitiness.

If anybody could help me market this jam then i would be grateful of any help or even from an experienced product marketing person.

It would be great to see how the public could respond before they are told there were no Strawberries in the making.

I would love to enter this into a jam contest to see how it responds.

I currently have a air tight single jar stored safely awaiting a great popping.

Imagine this jam in Swiss roles, donuts and cornflake tarts.

To find out when you can get to try this jam, You will need to click on follow on the right side panel so that you can visit my blog in the near future.

And i may share this recipe with you if i get a happy number of followers.
