Looks as if Reeves has escaped by the skin of her teeth.

Starmer can't afford to keep sacking people otherwise there would be no one left.

Listening to them again tonight my stance on this has not changed one iota.

The house four doors up have been letting off fireworks since six o'clock. I put my dustbin out half an hour ago and one of the rockets exploded above me and it's fair to say I felt the "aftershock" right through my body so you would stand no chance if it exploded next to you.

Not the Market area in particular but Chesterfield as a whole.
WHY, do people take their dogs on long leads  around the town
Twice today I've had to dodge a dogs lead whilst the owner was oblivious  that their sweet little pooch was about to wrap its  lead round my legs

Just read the council concerned has quashed the fine.

Hands up all those who thought it was bl**dy stupid.

Saw on the news this morning "Woman fined for pouring coffee down a street drain"

If you didn't see it, she had a cup of coffee in her hand and as her bus approached she poured what little coffee she had heft in the cup down a gully drain and started to run for the bus and was stopped by 3 enforcement officers and they fined her saying what she did was an offence under section 33 of the environment protection act.

Now I could understand their reasoning if she was emptying say an oil drum full of the stuff but it was less than half a cup full, which would have instantly disappeared when it hit the gallons of water in the drain. Of course there's the old argument "Yes but what if everyone did it"?

I defy anyone to tell me coffee would seriously damage or pollute our waterways when water companies are dumping heaven knows what into our rivers and streams.

Yes, that sums it up, it will be decided in meetings and that's the end of
it.
We were in town yesterday, I had my first look at thd Market s
quare.
Tes it looks lovely, less cobbles whjcb us helpful for some but retains thd 'cobbled street look'
More seatjng.
Spacious.
Cleverly designed to detract from the smaller number of stalls.
Or is that an illusion?
Answers on a postcard please just a Yes or No :))

I believe it was a couple of weeks ago in the letters page of the D.T. someone was berating C.C. on the extortionate car parking charges in the town.

Last week's D.T. contained a response from C.C. obviously in answer to this letter, their response can be summed up in a few words:-

"Sod what you lot think we'll do it our way"

Enjoy the two soaps, and even the classic ones which I record.
Documentaries
The odd film
That's about it!
