The picture here is fine Beekay. Wish I was there!

Put it on their rhubarb. It’s an old gypsy custom. Just like we use custard.

A blast from the past possibly!

I'll break wind there on my next visit then and think of you.

What were you doing in Stapleford woods Rog - just passing through I trust.

Not if we can agree Brexit quickly!

He's got 17 points on his licence now. Perhaps he could add them to Notts County’s and keep them up.!

Good idea! I wouldn't fall out with anyone because of their political views. I like to hear the debate from both ends of the political spectrum. I hold rightish wing views on some topics but I can be quite socialist when it comes to such things as privatisation of basic industries. I've always thought that a sensible compromise can be reached through sensible and considered discussion. I don't hold with either political or religious dogma. I'm usually right though.

I am!

A political discussion would be good but Col's left wing views are pretty much in agreement with my right wing's.

They’re not but it adds spice to the discussion!

Yes, they’re of the same ilk. Presumably the litter problem, should there be one, will have to be sorted by the landowner and not the taxpayer. I hope they leave the site clean and tidy and that they will be welcomed back next year when the pubs and shops will be open and local businesses with thrive on their patronage.

That’s because fairground people tend to come from the ‘travelling community’.

We call it graffiti over here. Criminal damage, maximum fine £5,000. 'Graffiti' sounds Italian don't you think?

I think he was the passenger. I don’t believe he’s got his licence back yet. I’ve just checked and I see that car failed its MOT last month. Took his eye off the ball there!

I guess you’re right. Alan Hardy’s house, which I pass almost daily, isn’t up for sale yet!

South Africa. A highly corrupt country, much like most of Africa really. Transfer deals and agents’ fees will be interesting!

Who are the ‘new owners’?

Let's just see if the site is cleaned up before they depart. That will show whether they're responsible members of the community. I reserve my judgement.

A two thirds majority, even if only decided by one vote, is more representative of opinion than a 50/50 decided by one vote.

Indeed yes! Would you buy tinned salmon though when you can get fresh? It’s probably easier to conceal in your coat pocket if it’s in a tin

Our daughter has currently moved back in with us and works from home. We have a stream of delivery vans daily and know the drivers by name. Also there are a similar number of returns sent back through the Post Office!

I'm not a socialist but I think that privatisation of such an essential industry was wrong.

Most of us are angry and annoyed about the Brexit situation and the country is divided as much as Parliament. Without getting into politics I think that the referendum should be rerun and decided on a decisive majority, say two thirds. With the way that the referendum was set up last time the vote could have gone either way, theoretically on just one vote.

Just checked and that's almost in line with inflation so it wasn't cheap even then.
