Just messing on Youtube and found Sweet Home Alabama. Still as brilliant and relevant as 47 years ago. Any other bands still reach you today ?

Just cleared all trackers with McAfee and then logged straight back on Accyweb. Accessed McAfee again and 206 trackers had been added.

Where we lived on Plantation St there were 3 chippies within short walking distance, 2 on Plantation St and one on Cedar St . They only sold fish, chips, peas ,pies and steak puddings. We were discussing how much fish and chips used to be. The cheapest I could remember was a shilling for a fish...

TalKing to Slacks butchers in the market hall this morning. It is closing on New Years Eve for 18 months to 2 years for refurbishment. This possibly the final nail in the coffin as after 2 years people will have simply gone elsewhere. Hyndburn council strikes again!

Just seen a Bug on Whalley Rd, first one for years. Were they all bright orange?

In the Plantation St - Cobham Rd area, there are Barnfield, Limefield, Garfield and Beaconsfield Streets all very close together. Presume FIELD means what it says, but havent been able to find how the other bits came about.

How about a 1993 Mercedes 300 sl in signal red for £13995 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202011055816639?onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=Used&postcode=bb55tq&radius=1501&model=300&include-delivery-option=on&make=MERCEDES-BENZ&advertising-location=at_cars&page=1

Modern day cars are to me very boring. Mostly square boxes. You have to look what is written on the boot to see what make and model it is. They do what they are supposed to do and let you down a lot less than earlier cars did. At least the Chevette was a shape you could recognise. The Morris...
