I received a recent letter reminding me that The Halifax Textile Society is to be wound up at the end of the present season. It is sad that there has been such a dramatic decline in what was such an important industry for England and the UK. Those few people still left in the industry have little time and less possibility to financially support such niceties like Textile Societies. It is a sign of the times but it is a sign of better times on the way?

In the House of Lords, Peers sit on the ‘woolsack' as a symbol of the prosperity upon which their positions and the Country relies. What will they be sitting on in a few years time?  Perhaps a stack of politically correct guidelines issued to public sector employees.
