Re: Old Accrington

Re: B&B in Ossy?

There is one in Clayton, right hand side on Blackburn Rd just down from the lights - Maple House(?). Marion's granddaughter stayed there - very nice.

Re: Well...that's a surprise!

Corbyn's continued support for terrorism - she has been added to the IRA, Hamas, Hezbollah and probably a few more that we haven't yet been told about.

Re: what wound you up today?

Bliar apparently persuaded Whitehall officials to keep secret his post-PM advisory work. Primarily to protect his clients, foreign governments and international companies. A judge has now instructed...

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

There is far more widespread action in France than what the mainstream media shows/tells us about. I even managed to spot a few placards showing "FREXIT". Even small towns are in the protests and I...

Re: Political Correctness, again!

Re: Political Correctness, again!

In Tesco Extra there is a notice as you enter stating "Crash helmets must be removed", or words to that effect. It is natural to assume that this is for security reasons but a Niqab (the face veil),...

Re: Political Correctness, again!

The majority of servicemen (whoops), are given nicknames early on in their service life which tends to stick throughout their service. I can only think of one that could be classed as sexist - a WRAF...

Re: Waste of OUR money?

Re: Waste of OUR money?

The blue bin has it printed on top "All Plastics" and even a picture showing the cleaning/disinfectant type bottle. I think the information leaflet states not to include polythene.

Re: Waste of OUR money?
