[Margaret Pilkington]

Lindsay of course it is a tragic picture. Don't you think that we old codgers don't know that? There are many facets to the problem...not least of which are the transport links...and to some degree, the way the planners have taken the heart out of the town.
We old codgers have much more to compare it with. We can remember when it was a truly vibrant town. As for the thread wanders...that is how conversation is. It meanders and takes in other side topics. It keeps the thread up there in the faces of people too. You might find it an irritation, but others may not...they may see it for what it is....a conversation...but online.
