Alex I made some extensive revisions to the email I said I was going to send yesterday (see original post for edits) and emailed the chap. It was while I was writing I thought “Hang on…

      Hello. At last I find something about you. With a local election less than a week away I’d have thought you would have been calling at my door to convince me to vote for you. As I am not a native to Brierley I am unaware of the local politics and issues that affect…

  • Its that time again. Local election time. In the past month I have had one leaflet from one candidate. He was 99.99% about to get my vote until I saw in the paper that his entry may be deemed illegal and he may be disqualified. I’m going to send this to the Baaaarnlsey Chronicle (in’t’…

    No need to adjust your colour balance here. Us neighbours. Our neighbours are a funny old bunch. When we moved into our house from Liverpool last August they were all over us, offering us help and kindly advice and hinting at long standing unwritten communal rules like You don’t park there because Mrs So-and-so likes…

    I never learn really. I think I’m a good judge of character then “bam!” someone does something out of their assumed character which surprises me. Sometimes it’s nothing major and often it doesn’t really bother me but nestles in the back of my mind like a bad memory that rots its way into other memories.…

    The Belgians! I’ve never stole sausages from a supermarket though I once pinched a little rubber ring that holds a face mask to a snorkel from a French Hypermarché and had 8 years of conscience nag. Think that’s the only time I’ve ever nicked anything really. Oh apart from when I whizzed some of Neil…
