The Magna Carta was agreed in a field in Runnymede in Berkshire so what does it have to do with Essex? Well quite a lot it seems, as my guest, JOHN 
DEBENHAM explained today. John and his colleague, ANDREW SUMMERS have just completed a book on the subject – MAGNA CARTA IN ESSEX. Listen again to what John had to tell me about this turning point in our history by clicking on the link below: –
You can purchase the book direct from the publishers – ESSEX HUNDRED PUBLICATIONS or on line at www.essex100.com for £7:99.
From a truly down to earth subject, we heard about the Spanish woman with her head way up in the clouds – well actually way higher than that – in the sun actually! Maria Angeles Duran has had her claim to own the sun ratified by a court in Spain and has already announced her intention to invoice owners of solar panels for the use of the sun’s rays. But now following a further court ruling in her favour, she intends to sue eBay for blocking her account selling plots on the sun for the bargain price of 73p per square metre. Prior to eBay cancelling her account she had already received 600 orders worth £800!
Right I’ll see you again tomorrow,
Scott
