Phew, I had thought that everything that i had written had disappeared but clicking the back button retrieved it all. Happy days. *Control-V*

Once upon a time if you wanted to send something within your own reach to the reach of another fellow human being you would have to use your legs to go there or you would send a letter addressed in their name. But life become a little easier and more convinient and people become more cleverer and lazier and so, the telephone came about in the 1870s. So this new invention was wonderful.

Eighteen Church of England bishops have signed an open letter, criticising the government's proposed welfare changes.

In the letter, in The Observer, the bishops express concerns about plans to limit the amount any household can claim in benefits to £500 a week.

Their intervention has received the backing of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York.

The government says the reforms are designed to reduce a culture of benefit dependency.
