will be interesting to see how many people vote for him, would be even more interesting if he got in.

Just quickly looking Merc 3 properties empty/up for sale in Hazelmere to start and that is just a quick look on one website (Mike Rogerson) One thing you highlight is "what of those who live in their parents homes now and, in a few years, will have jobs, families and such - and parents still living - an want their own home in their home town?" They may want to live in the area but will they work in the area, socialise in the area? Personally I think not because there is no decent shopping provision only Morrison or Tesco, no industrial work (I mean warehousing, factory work, etc. before anyone goes "christ he is on about the pits again") Why I think that because there is no plan for Business or industry, thus people will be drawn away closer to where they work when everything rises in price (which it will), which is sadly out of the town.

First point Merc, The MOD objected in part with Newcastle international Airport, Both said it would affect the radar at Newcastle and thus make flights in the area unsafe due to that they objected and the application for the wind turbine was withdrawn by the applicant. Second point Merc, the land was not "Spare" it was the community gain which was earmarked for a pub, community centre and shop, but I wonder why the powers that be never enforced it Also if there is demand for them type of houses why are ones standing empty in Hazelmere, slaley court, Hartford hall all for which are "new" estates.

Looks like it Malcolm, But there has been no figure stated I see I Wonder why that is?

While traveling though the countryside in the 1700's, a carriage is stopped by a highway man, He shouts "Stand and Deliver!" The wealthy Gentleman in the carriage did not know what he meant so asked "what do you mean", So the highway man said, "Your money or your life." The wealthy Gentleman says "hold on." and hops back into the carriage. Seconds later his wife then gets thrown out of the carriage and the wealthy gent says, "I will keep my money, you have the wife!" and the carriage rides off.

Happy Late Birthday Keith and Eileen, hope you enjoyed it.

Council offices where this photo was taken from Foxy?

Not all of them Malcolm, there are a few hanging on here and there.

Running like British Rail here, but I'm here now so happy Birthday Keith.

Must be one thick Book then tomtom, quite a few serial numbers back in them days.

The wheel spats may have been added later Vic, maybe to protect the wheels against fighter attacks and Flak.
