I agree, maestro. The Town Pub is clearly on its last legs - only two or three regulars nowadays - and the wit and conviviality one used to find on the forum generally seems to have disappeared. Perhaps one reason is that we're all too anxious to avoid offending each other. Do you agree, you fat ...

But if it wasn't for spam and posts regarding Chris Beach there'd be bugger all to read on this forum.

Looking in vain for a motor car (although haven't watched it all.) When first might you have expected to see one in London? Numerous motorised charabancs are evident in several scenes, something resembling a motorised hen hut appears at 11:46 weaving through the general throng of horse drawn ...

Amazing film recordings from approx. 120 years ago converted to colour. Watch out for the fire brigade turning out at 22:13.

Does anyone happen to know if inmates are allowed access to the internet in HMP Winchester? Just asking.

I saw a bloke on a very noisy, small green motorbike, very fast down Lennard Road earlier tonight. Appeared to be ridden by a middle aged white guy in a grey hoody with no helmet.

I hope all residents are safe.

Well who now knows what financial resources will be available for such redevelopment schemes once we're through this national crisis. However, the traffic bottleneck created by Lower Sydenham railway bridge (which still, as far as I'm aware, remains the second most struck in the UK) is something ...

Developers have won their appeal against Bromley Council and are now intending to build a new development of 254 units. Can't see the point in the current market when much of the first phase had to be sold off for social housing because they couldn't get rid of them, plus, long term, there are plans ...

Stuart might back me up on this, I don't think magnetic secondary glazing would be suitable for doors. Acrylic panels are easily damaged, one of mine had to be scrapped when I received the delivery of the eight as it had been damaged by the courier, I took a pic of it and sent it to the supplier, it ...

I also installed magnetic secondary glazing to my eight large wooden sash windows and I've found it very effective. My property is Grade II listed and I am compelled to have to maintain them, I am forbidden from fitting UPVC windows even if they may be identical in appearance. I had them all taken ...

Already been discussed on here. It seems to be Honda Jazz and Toyota Prius cars that are being targeted.
