Mimes : Music : Records

The Nellie #Bramley Company was given a civic reception at Whangarei in honour of its first visit to that town. Mr. W. Timewell, acting-mayor, presided, and Mr. R. G. Hosking, president of the Waiata Society, also spoke a few words of welcome. The company played record seasons at Whangarei and #Hamilton, and is now in #Gisborne.

‘The #Bramley saga is not just a freak occurrence; it is the result of a long-developing trend towards unaccountability.

It’s a mindset that began in the early days of corporate structures, as limited liability allowed investors to reap the rewards of risk without bearing the full consequences of failure.’..

‘In today’s world, it’s private equity giants and multinational corporations benefiting from these protections—shielded from blame when things go wrong.’

‘The Kafkaesque dance of passing the buck seen in Bramley is a perfect example of what Davies terms an “accountability sink”—a place where decision-making is so fragmented that no one is ever to blame when things go wrong.

#Bramley has become an unwitting symbol of this modern malaise, where sprawling bureaucracies and corporations have lost the ability, or perhaps the will, to respond to human problems with anything other than indifference.’

I heard about the Kafakesque woes of the village of #Bramley in Surrey (in the constituency of the former #Tory Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt) on the radio this afternoon.

Petrol seeped from a leak at an #Asda (former#CoOp) petrol station since about 2016.

Contaminated the water supplies as petrol eats through plastic pipes. Severed phone and internet connections.

And accountability seems to be zero.

#How #Britain is at the mercy of incompetent corporates

Villagers’ lives blighted by devastating fuel leak at local petrol station

The misery inflicted on #Bramley, where air is often thick with petrol fumes, serves as parable of modern #Britain

An all-too-familiar tale of #warnings ignored, #bureaucratic buck-passing & #compensation delayed

Life never ends up where are you expect it. Just lean into it. Combination of hylersomnalence & procrastination, got out y’day with an hour and 20 min of light; nearly sacked off a ride. Ended up near Basingstoke having a beer with my mate. Loads to see on the way

Hm, this certainly doesn't look good. Seems to be about half a mile from where the ukulele group will be meeting this evening.

Short thread. 1. This is our 1996 Bramley orchard. Each year we prune every tree. This year we're taking quite a lot of branches off, which leads to a lot of timber in the spaces between the trees. Today I'm chopping up the prunings into small pieces using a tractor-mounted prunings pulveriser. #orchard #pruning #apples #Bramley
