Putin is just sitting back watching the western world fall out with one another AND IT'S ALL TRUMPS FAULT......

I watched the speech Starmer gave to the nation this morning and he chose his words carefully, unfortunately with Trump your dealing with a megalomaniac who is steering in the wrong direction, not only by the fact he's a nutter, but by his sycophantic advisers. 

How that man became President of the U.S.A. not once but twice beats me, there's even talk of him trying to sneak in another term and it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

A couple of people I've spoken to have mentioned Tesco closing the precinct store and moving to the old M&S site.

One says it will be a reversal of the M&S move with people losing out when just picking a few things up in the precinct store on their way back to their cars in the multi storey across Beetwell street.

I personally don't give a monkey's either way, as I've said my trips to town are becoming more and more infrequent, I go because I have to. Just this week it will be to visit Specsavers for an eye test and will call in the bank whilst there, I see no reason to keep going when I can shop elsewhere with free parking.

If Ive read correctly they are closing that one/ they will need a lot of footfall to make that pay!

The ones done on our road less tha  3 weeks ago need doing again!

They are wasting money not saving it!
We went around half of the village yesterday it's not too bad but several need attention. If I have the time I'll do the rest today and put them all through tomorrow ready to plop into their emails Monday morning  ::)

Tesco is moving into the M&S shop in the town centre.
My thoughts - they will need a high footfall to keep overheads going!
We only shop every two/three weeks so need a car park close by as it's generally a large shop.
We certainly couldn't manage  a big shop where they are plonking themselves.

I understand exactly what you mean.
I asked them if I sponsored the name a Star would the Hospice get all of the sponsor money. The answer - they will get some of it-
It's wrong the Board members need to cough up with a good donation or claim less
