Much more could be made of our town centre...it has a sad down at heel feel to it. No amount of rose tinted spectacles can alter that fact.

That's funny. We were sat outside today, on the corner of the market, having a coffee from the van which has the chairs outside, facing Wilkinsons. Two girls aged about eleven walked past.
One tossed an empty drinks can down the stairs to the market cellar.
'Oi, go and pick that up, there is a bin here.'
'**** off' she replied.
I flew after the little scrote, and again shouted my instruction, a little like I was possessed by a demon.
Happily she eventually went and got the discarded can, and placed it in the bin.
I even frightened myself.
