Plain English.

It is the time of year for awards. The Plain English Campaign's Annual Foot in the mouth award was to The British supermodel, Naomi Campbell. She allegedly said in June "I love England, especially the food. There's nothing I like more than a lovely bowl of pasta."

There was also a Golden Ball Award to our near neighbours Eastleigh Borough Council for a Notice given under the Building Act 1984 -

'Hereby in accordance with the provision of the Building Act 1984, Section 32 declares that the said plans shall be of no effect and accordingly the said Act and the said Building Regulations shall as respects the proposed work have effect as if no plan had been deposited.'

Merry Christmas.
