LMFAO !

3 million Pfffft, but we can afford 370 million in foreign aid this year and no doubt it will increase in the following years.

A phrase with words like priorities, ass, about & face springs to mind

It should be illegal to not have a dog on a lead in a public place not just parks. and they should also extend the dangerous dogs law to cover the chav dog of choice, the staff. the only reason these low lifes get them is because pitbulls are illegal and a staff is the next best thing to these dange...

But if a pub doesn't sell beer then that removes a quite fundamental reason for going in there! Lordy lordy ! exactly , cant believe its taken this long for someone to say it. As for supporting local business, If a local business doesnt do or supply goods or services at a cost or in a way that I fi...

Pool, TV Screens.........yup that gives it a bit of class and makes it stand out from the crowd !

"ghettoization"

Thats for the most part down to the people rather than the properties.

Decent people will always be decent wherever they live.

" I do feel it would be worth hanging on to these two, if only to remind us of what it was once like."

A picture says a thousand words, but that one only needs three...."pull 'em down !!"

Youve got the pic as a reminder !

Well i have tried to support various local businesses but its not easy. About 2 years ago. Guitar strings local shop £14, internet £8.50 delivered !. Had a word and the then owner said "Well thats the price" what would you do.? I would maybe have allowed £1.50 difference but wasnt going to...

I have it on good authority that 148 the empty shop next to the Fox is going to be selling rugs/carpets and throws and that kind of thing. Not sure exactly when open but pretty soon I think.

and no doubt this postman that i am patronising and snobbish about is on strike today

I'll bet that was easy enough for him to suss out though

"As for knob twiddling shows your ignorance " , its based on observation not theory "if you dont like music, then you dont like music. " oh the irony !!! if only you knew. "It doesnt have to be every night either " just as well really Its pretty obvious that you and the...

Sunday dinners are back on, but Dj's, I have no time for them, total waste of time

Dj's , dats wikkid bruv, innit ! "There is only one ex-member of staff been taken on ". yup I was wrong on that one , that was based on a description that fitted another ex staffer I was given. "she like me agrees the Funky House/Hip Hop/R&B route would be unsuitable." I take...

OK, I,can confirm that it will be JC Chicken.
The shop front signeage is now up, its a red background with big letters in white saying...JC Chicken

a crappy fried ckicken joint, yup that will raise the areas profile

Having seen the pictures of the interior and the facilities therein, I would imagine theres an awful lot of its "guests" who would be more than happy to stay there permanently. I have had the misfortune to "meet" members of its clientelle in a local pubs. One example was causing ...

Postie asked me where this was today, at the time he was standing at 136 which is the chemist next door :lol:. I told him it was the empty shop with the brown paper on the windows, right next to where we were standing. Chemist is 136 and 140 is clearly marked, so by a process of simple elimination.....

Just got back myself

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

Seen all I need to see, I would have loved to been wrong but its a case of I told you so

It will be worse than when Lou had the place.

There's two types of undesirables, those with money and those without, & the Woodman has plenty of the former. I cant wait to see his policy on drugs and how he will enforce it. ! From what i can gather there are definitely two of the old barstaff, one of which, if true, I am amazed he has taken...

Its open !

Minor update The only sign in the window now is for a chef/cook, I wonder if he's taken on the old bar staff & cleaner ? It looks like the new owner is trying to brighten the place up inside. On the back wall that was adjacent to the garden area there was a massive blackboard covering what was a...

Errrr....... The Woodman did have quizzes last autumn but hardly anybody showed up for them so they stopped them after a couple of months.
