Eddie Wilson, Ryanair's chief executive officer, said he could do "so much more" in Newquay Airport if APD was scrapped. According to the UK Treasury the tax had "fallen behind inflation in recent years" and the government maintains similar rates to France and Germany. Mr Wilson said: "It's harder for places like Newquay to attract airlines like Ryanair. "We could do so much more here without this stupid APD. "It does nothing for the locality and it's just an easy tax to collect.鈥� RECORDING 2: An pyskador, Richard West y hanow, a diras an kynsa morvleydh derivys bythkweth dhyworth an unnek ha dew ugens eth kans a vorvledyhi Lego yn onan a dhew lestryn ha tri ugens ow synsi peswar milvil ha tri kwarter darn skubys dhe-ves a鈥檔 gorhel Tokio Express ogas dhe Bedn an Wlas yn mil naw kans seytek ha peswar ugens.

TRANSLATION The fisherman, Richard West, landed the first-ever reported shark from the 51,800 Lego sharks in one of 62 containers holding 4.75 million pieces swept off the Tokio Express cargo ship near Land's End in 1997. The plastic toy, caught by Mr West in his fishing nets 20 miles south of Penzance in August 2024, is set to be sold by Plymouth-based auctioneer Anthony Eldred on 30 October. Mr Eldred said it was "almost an impossible task" to put a guide price on the unique Lego model, but he thought between 拢50 and 拢100 would be likely.

TRANSLATION According to Liskeard Town Council to mark the occasion the Mayor of Quimperl茅, Micha毛l Quernez, invited the Civic Party from Liskeard to Brittany in September for a weekend ceremony. A council spokesman said twinning first began between Liskeard and Quimperl茅 in October 1974 and since then, there had been many years of visits and collaborations between schools, sports clubs and community groups. However that had become "less over time", the council added. The council would like to hear stories from those who have enjoyed trips to the French town and the "kind hospitality of their people". That鈥檚 all from me, have a good week. An Nowodhow was written and read by Kensa Broadhurst and the editor was Wella Morris. Photo of Cawsand by 麻豆社 Weather Watcher/Ladyday Dr J.
