I'm sure I saw you in there not too long ago!

I don't mind the olde Tavern... the owners are canny, the clientelle aren't as bad as elsewhere and they have a quiz machine!

Although the MOR rock bands will never rival the cutting-edge vibes of the Railway for the movers and shakers, they will however, please a load of beered up knackers on a Friday and Saturday night, which is what it's all about isn't it? And in a time where anyone with a guitar reckons they're the next Ting Ting, Bright Eyes or Young Knife (while resembling a poor man's Keane), I'd rather hear a second-rate cover of 'Sultans of Swing' any day.

Eloquent, mrsvic, but then that's what I would expect......

There was a rumour going around about the first houses that were built there sinking though,they were built on an opencast site apparently..don`t know how true this is though

Not sinking - mother was one of the first inhabitants. House still standing. Ground not falling.

As for the empty patch of land, the original plans showed a group of shops and a pub. Still no sign of either.
