If you have that sort of dosh kicking around Pete I know where there are some garden gates which need a bit of TLC..............

Looks like their are appealing on the grounds of incompetence by the planners to give ample considerations to their application? According to the article that necessitates a public enquiry?

Circa £200K.......

Couldn't agree more Pete!

Not long now.................

Yep same place Pete. Developers are saying they will restore the gates as part of their 106 planning gain requirement. Seems there is a difference of opinion on what they are promising to pay for, infrastructural improvements, with planners saying even if they sold everything they couldn't pay what has been promised? I believe the residents are trying to find funds to pay for the gates. I stepped away when I was told the gates have to go back where they came from. I have no interest in knocking myself out fighting to get these gates put up on the side of a private housing development for aesthetic reasons! Had we been able to display them in the centre of the Town or even use them as a feature on one of the roadways in, then I would have been trying to crack heads together! Putting them back on a none existent road is a joke!

Guess the year..........1954.

Nice one foxy...........I recognise the Trotter Memorial and possibly Trinity Church but nowt else? Are they early pop socks...........the very worst lingerie ever dreamt up!

I checked that out first Brett............. Keith, not necessarily........but go on........you know if you had.......................

I guessed that Keith! Can't you scan it in for us that can't afford paper based periodicals?

Picture would help Keith.........

Keith, PRAM.....PRAM.... we used to dream about getting a pram. Mam used to drag us along behind her wrapped up in an old blanket...

Is that a white Austin 1800 in the first pic? That would make it 1964 on.....

Second pic after 1962 there is a Mk 1 Cortina on the right hand side.

Aye pushing it!!!!!!

And the prize goes to Andy...........

Adam check your PMs.....

The cops have just been out with the latest hand held speed cameras and I am sure they might be willing to target any section of road where there are continuous problems. Course everyone has to play their part and go to the likes of that Police Forum meeting I posted up for last week or even just take part in the online police meetings which are held regularly. If they don't know about it ………………………………. BTW, on the walkabout they issued warnings only to anyone slightly exceeding the speed limit, as one of our town councillors can testify to! Ahem

Worth watching through, although never forget this is a snake oil salesman too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7fnlRS_0xQ&feature=player_embedded

Irish Math Test An Irishman wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math test. Here is your first question, the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9." "Without numbers?" The Irishman says? "Dat is easy." And proceeds to draw three trees. "What's this?" the boss asks. "Have you ain't got no brain? Tree and tree plus tree makes 9" says the Irishman. "Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99." The Irishman stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree... "Ere you go." The boss scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?" "Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, plus dirty tree. Dat makes 99." The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this Irishman, so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100." The Irishman stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere you go. One hundred." The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!" The Irishman leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and whispers, "A little dog come along and poop by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which makes ONE HUNDRED!" The Irishman is now head of Qantas.
