    Our local roundabouts and verges look nice because the council buys
    the flowers that grow on them from his nursery in Cardington.

    So he gets my vote, he's a really lovely bloke too.

    Silly me, I thought the first working cell phones were
    produced by L. M. Ericsson in 1981. But they not being Murricans
    could not invent and implement anything. Plus Martin Cooper was the
    manager at Motorola who took the credit for the work done by others.

    Fuck him.

    Motorola always followed.

    It might have been Fessenden , or Bell Labs

    Our local Martin Cooper, who lives a couple of miles from me in
    Cardington, is a lovely chap who runs a garden centre/plant nursery.

    The reason that so much around Bedford looks beautiful when the flowers
    are out is down to him selling plants to the council who plant them
    around the town.
