“The high quality of the materials used in its construction can triple maintenance costs, and councils have limited resources Our capital allocations have been dropping year on year. This government/private finance initiative would drum up some much-needed money to spend on refurbishment from the private sector; but protesters claim that rents would rise, and tenure could become less secure, all as a prelude to gentrification, with City workers snapping up the Grade II listed properties as pieds-a-terre. Tower Hamlets Council, its present owner, is to ballot the estate’s 1,900 residents, 80 per cent of whom are Bangladeshi, on whether to put Boundary Street into the hands of a local housing company, under the government’s HARCA (Housing and Regeneration Community Association) scheme.

Numatic Henry from independent electrical suppliers – prices vary, call 01460 68600 for local stockists.. In a secluded backwater behind Shoreditch High Street and Bethnal Green Road sits London’s first council estate. At 100 years old, the 21 red-brick mansion blocks of the Boundary Street scheme are still magnificent, though closer inspection reveals a faded beauty, with rotting window frames and decaying brickwork. Dave Woodward supported this claim; he was one of four panel members to own one, or have one in their office. “The only thing that could be improved is the wheels,” he said, adding: “You can buy a Microtex (99 per cent efficient) filter for pounds 21.80 if you have allergies.” The range includes other (more powerful and bigger) models called Edward, Charles, George and Basil – news which did not impress Philippa Yeoman, who thought calling a vacuum cleaner Henry was “patronising to housewives – like a little man following them around.” But she still liked using Henry more than any other model.STOCKISTSMiele, Goblin, Hoover, Dyson and Electrolux all available from Comet, tel: 0500 560570. It was the most widely known and used, and cropped up frequently in comparisons with other models tested. Aside from the bagless cleaning function, there wasn’t much to choose between this and the Hoover.*****NUMATIC HENRYpounds 115Design slaves will be disappointed to hear that, on a purely practical basis, the panel voted the popular Henry cylinder vacuum cleaner – notable for its cheerful painted eyes and smile around the suction pipe – the winner in our trial.
“It’s very light; it eats dirt; you can drag it about by its hose (nose); and it never damages anything it bumps into. The cord winds up into its head so it doesn’t flop about in the cupboard. It does nothing special but it never goes wrong,” said Concetta Wetherburn. Concetta Wetherburn liked “the feel of the ergonomic handle but I don’t think it did much for my back.” Alan Stewart found the suction “very impressive”, but thought the plastic casing “seemed a trifle frail” and complained that the machine didn’t pick up threads well. Basically bagless is for big bits; you want the fine dust in a bag.” Unfortunately the Electrolux doesn’t look as good, despite its racing green casing, transparent dust cassette and “specially designed back-saver handle”. “You can choose between bagless cleaning or high filtration dustbags.
They haven’t insulated the motor to keep the price down, so home-users find it noisy.”***ELECTROLUX 1720 POWER SYSTEM 1500pounds 199.99″I think this is a better machine than the Dyson,” said Dave Woodward. When it came to emptying the drum, Concetta Wetherburn realised that a foam filter and paper cartridge were fitted around the motor to protect it from dust, but there was no dustbag fitted or supplied for the drum, so she was “covered in dust and fluff clinging to the motor cover and all the crevices around it.” Dave Woodward summed up the Goblin’s appeal: “It’s a good cheap machine, used mostly by builders, quite rough-and-ready. Because the head has bristles, threads are left behind, though,” noted Harry Webster. “I’d say a brush insert (pounds 2.59 on the spares list) is a must.” On upholstery, he found it sucked so well that it was difficult to move, even with the pipe vent open.

Faldo shouldn’t need an invitation – he should get in automatically from the US money list or the world rankings.”. EVERY hundred years, it seems, rugby union is hit by a volcanic eruption of such cataclysmic proportions that it irreversibly transforms the game’s landscape. In 1895, it was the breakaway of the northern clubs to form rugby league and on Friday, 23 June, 1995, it was the official signing of the death certificate of amateurism. As we all know, the concept had been clinically dead for some time.
But at the historic press conference at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, Dr Louis Luyt’s persistent use of the euphemism “for development purposes” when asked how Rupert Murdoch’s millions would be spent, could not alter the fact that the top rugby union players in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia are hence forward going to be extremely wealthy young men as a result of the $550m deal with the southern hemisphere unions.
Nor was the significance of the timing of the announcement, on the eve of the World Cup final, lost on anyone. Normally, Graf’s return would have been top of the bill; instead, the centre of attention was Pierce, making a triumphant homecoming after her victory in the Australian Open a fortnight before – a result which meant that, for the first time since 1987, Graf was in possession of none of the four Grand Slam titles.Under the circumstances, what Graf has achieved in the four months that have followed, when her back has meant she has had to limit her appearances, has been remarkable. I arranged a meeting with him, in the foyer of his hotel in Pretoria. For all Dr Luyt’s protests that rugby in the Pacific countries will be protected and developed, it is hard to believe that this tripartite agreement can benefit countries like Fiji, Tonga and Western Samoa, whose international aspirations will surely be thwarted by the increased competition between the big three. There will simply be no room to accommodate those weaker countries in such a crowded schedule.Regrettably, too, it would seem that the British Lions who, since the inception of the World Cup, have been living on borrowed time, are moving closer to extinction.
One of the most appealing reasons for maintaining Lions tours was the financial benefit to the host country, but with pounds 35m a year pouring into New Zealand, South African and Australian coffers for the next 10 years, not to mention the revenue from sponsorship, advertising and gate receipts, that is no longer a pressing need. Furthermore, now that the global game operates on a four-year cycle there is additional pressure on the individual countries to undertake major tours as part of their World Cup preparation. The burden on the players, even allowing for the fact that they can now expect substantial remuneration, is close to intolerable as it is. The Lions, I suspect, are therefore an endangered species.Whether rugby union as we know it will follow them into extinction will depend very much on the decisions made in Paris in August.

Ever since Republicans seized control of Congress last November, a presidential veto has seemed inevitable. But, despite urgings from his supporters to draw a line against his opponents and re-assert his role in national policy-making, Mr Clinton has passed over every opportunity. The most recent was a broadcasting tax bill that contained a $30m (pounds 18m) loophole for the media magnate, Rupert Murdoch
As a result, Mr Clinton is the first president since the little remembered Millard Fillmore, in office between 1850 and 1853, never to have used the veto. The others relished the chance to flex their constitutional muscle, even when their own party controlled Congress.Democrats ruled Capitol Hill throughout the Depression and the Second World War. But that did not stop Mr Clinton’s political idol, Franklin Roosevelt, from vetoing 635 bills, roughly one a week throughout 12 years in office. By the same point in their terms, Jimmy Carter and George Bush had vetoed 19 and 21 bills.The Clinton record is a perfect zero, a performance only reinforcing the conventional Washington wisdom that the President is a soft touch who is scared of confrontation.That reputation may soon be given the lie.
Mr Clinton has warned that he will veto Republican bills that would roll back anti-gun legislation and make cuts in various education, housing and other programmes approved by the previous Democratic Congress.This week, mooted changes in welfare came under the veto threat. Now, foreign policy has joined the list.The legislation, contained in separate but similar bills before the House and Senate, would slash US foreign aid, merge or abolish foreign-policy agencies, and impose important changes in policy towards Russia, China, Cuba and North Korea.In a blistering attack this week, Mr Clinton described the proposals as a “frontal assault” on presidential authority, and as the “most isolationist” legislation produced by Congress in half a century.The House Bill, virtually certain of passage, is due to be voted on today, while the Senate measure, shepherded by Jesse Helms, is scheduled to come to the floor in June. In its present form, said the President, “I will veto it.”But he may yet not live up to his word. The “line-item veto” – the power that would allow a President to block parts of a bill which he otherwise favoured – is not yet law. Until it is, Republicans can be expected to sweeten the bills that Mr Clinton dislikes with provisions he can hardly turn down..
President Bill Clinton laughingly brushed off the scare as “just another day at the White House”. But for the jittery Secret Service whose job it is to protect him, the previously obscure Leland William Modjeski has become the latest symbol of how the President’s home is anything but invulnerable. Yesterday a full-scale investigation was under way into how the 37-year- old former pizza delivery driver, carrying a revolver, managed to scale a 10ft fence and enter the private grounds of the White House on Tuesday night, dashing to within 40 yards of the building where the President and his family live before being shot and captured. According to Secret Service spokesmen, a security guard spotted Mr Modjeski almost immediately after he had entered the compound and told him to stop. Mr Modjeski refused and scuffled with the guard, who either felt or saw the gun and shouted “weapon” to his colleagues. A second guard rushed to the scene and fired a single bullet which apparently hit both Mr Modjeski and the guard struggling to overpower him.
The intruder and the guard, both wounded in the arm, were said to be in a stable condition yesterday.
After all, the game is believed to have had its origins in his country – although there is no certainty about it, a Scottish curling stone inscribed with the date 1511 stands as powerful circumstantial evidence.And many of the stones which will be used in Nagano – 40lb a time, including the handles – will have been hewn from Scottish granite. Ailsa Craig has an important part to play in the Winter Olympics.Although the game and the stones may be Scottish, the four Scotsmen selected have to remember that, for the duration of Olympics at least, they are British. They are coming round to it.”We are all very patriotic Scotsmen, and we find it strange to be representing Great Britain for the first time in our lives,” Dryburgh said, “I probably find the position easiest to come to terms with because as a member of the Royal Air Force, my boss is the Queen.”Dryburgh, who was 32 on Friday, comes from a sporting family. His 22- year-old youngest brother, James, is Scotland’s first professional curler who has twice been world junior champion and is a reserve for the Olympic team. Another brother, Stewart, is also a top flight curler, and sister Carolyn, has been five-times Inter-Services skating champion.The sporting genes have been passed down by mother Jacquie, who was runner- up in the pairs at the World Professional Skating Championships, and father Jack, who was Britain’s leading ice hockey scorer for four years during the 1960’s, revelling in the soubriquet of “The Pimpernel”.Dryburgh, who is due to be promoted to Squadron Leader on his return from Nagano, is a training officer who directs the work of flight engineers “I am not an active flyer because of bad eyesight,” he said.
He is, however, clearly perfectly adapted for the acute observation he requires as skip for his team, a role which requires him to call all the shots, as well as delivering the final, crucial shot himself.The sport which has similarities to bowls, in that points are scored by the number of stones you can leave closer to a central point than your opponents’. They are not gung ho – but nor are they travelling all the way to Japan with the hope of anything less than an Olympic title.”We are after the gold medal in Nagano or it is failure for us,” said Dryburgh’s colleague, Peter Wilson, a pharmaceutical salesman whose brother, Philip, a farmer from Stranraer, is also in the team. Ronnie Napier, a construction engineer, makes up the four.Dryburgh himself assesses the situation as follows: Canada favourites, and Scotland among five second favourites, the others being Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Norway.Curling was featured at the first winter Olympics of 1924 in Chamonix, although its official status then is in doubt. Mike Rowbottom on
an ambitious quartet.
Britain, as the British Olympic Association has been careful to point out in recent weeks, is not a winter sports country.With the XVIII Winter Olympics getting underway in Nagano on Saturday, the official line on British medal possibilities has been deliberately downbeat. Outraged domestic reaction at a lack of success in the summer Games of 1996 is still fresh in many administrative minds.Against that background, the jaunty confidence of the British curling team – four Scotsmen led by Flight Lieutenant Dougie Dryburgh – stands in startling contrast.In December, they regarded the bronze medal they won at the European Championships, where they defeated the previous world champions, Sweden, in the third-place play-off, as a disappointment.The narrowest of defeats in the semi-final by Germany, who went on to win the gold, rankled with the Scottish team, which managed a measure of revenge by beating the Germans at Perth last month. Winning Olympic medals is something that Britain has not been good at lately.
Now four patriotic Scotsmen are threatening to end an infamous run – at the Winter Olympics to boot. It will be no surprise to discover the “JJs” – Jerry and Jason, both educated at state comprehensives, both renowned as players’ players – in a quiet corner of some bar in the Rue de la Madeleine on Saturday night. After all, they have almost as much to look forward to as they have in common.. Indeed, they all played against Australia in the 1991 World Cup final.Guscott and Leonard are the only components of that side still plying their trade at the most rarified level, although Andrew and Underwood remain active in the Allied Dunbar Premiership.

I’m enjoying my rugby and helping Bath beat Brive has put my confidence levels on a high.”If the atmosphere in Bordeaux was anything to go by, the French are crazy for rugby at the moment It will be spine-tingling over there. To get picked for England now was not something I expected, but I’m chuffed to bits to be involved again.”It now seems certain that Guscott, who wins his 49th England cap in Paris, will realise one of the few tangible ambitions left to him: membership of the exclusive Red Rose 50 Club. My only goal after the operation was to recover some health and fitness and play for Bath. I’m one player in an exciting squad focused on the big games coming up and nothing else has any relevance.
If you add to that the fact that England are playing some pretty expansive stuff at the moment, you could say I’m looking forward to this weekend.”But I must say I find a lot of the attention coming my way a bit on the weird side. “I’m a rugby player and I play because I love the game,” Guscott said this week. “Why would I want to retire now? We’ve got a World Cup to think about next year and while there is a chance of being part of the England squad, I’m focusing on playing on at the best level I can.”All the same, it is difficult to think of another player anywhere in the world who would be thrown into what is certain to be an extreme physical and psychological trial in such unpropitious circumstances. Guscott loves playing in Paris, but a France-England Test is no one’s idea of garden party.”Look, I’ve played two full games since coming back, the first of which I ended up losing, the second of which was the greatest day in my club’s history. Guscott’s last Test appearance, against South Africa in Johannesburg in July, cost him a broken arm and when he subsequently picked up some serious damage to a disc in his lower back during rehabilitative training with Bath last September, the game appeared to be up.Many of his closest club colleagues expected him to call it quits.
In 10 starts, he rushed for 1,245 yards, eight touchdowns, and averaged 103.8 yards per game.Those numbers were in the Joe Novak era.
