Re: Forum
I'm surprised anyone that lived in Downham could afford a take away or to eat out- I had relatives living there in the 50's and it was looked down upon by all of them, and we were from Bell Green gasworks country.

Re: Corbyn and his lack of respect.
There are times I am almost embarrassed to read the thoughts of some members of the British expat community in Cyprus. As always well said Hudswell I agree with you 100%. We have common ground as men who took the Queens shilling and served our country, putting country before self. Long Live the Queen.

We should be proud of our past not seek every opportunity to knock what we achieved, If our forebears made a mistake then so be it.

I understand the grief fa...

Re: Terrible tower block fire in London
Attempted Political point scoring from the Labour Party Leader, Labour held Council and Labour London Mayor, perhaps they should resign as the Incumbents at the time of this Disaster.
Seems only fair if they are trying to force out the PM for being the boss lady.

Re: Large green recycling/refuse bins
Our local municipality do not provide refuse bins. They do of course provide a refuse collection service which is what the tax is for.

What I do is drill a hole through the shaft just below where the bottom of the head will fit and slip a nut and bolt thro. This prevents the h...
