My bid for freedom has failed. My request to be considered for voluntary redundancy was turned down. I wasn't surprised, and so I was only mildly disappointed. I suppose it's gratifying to be wanted.

Bill, you're right. It is Gosty Hill Tunnel where the ventilation shaft pops up right in front of a house, dominating the small front garden.
