We went for a "night out" in Tavistock yesterday. We went to the movies. :D ....... Last bus? 18:30 What time is your "last bus" home from town? I have no last bus, though the frequency drops form a choice every few minutes to two an hour after 11pm. My last bus is also my first...

I'm a bit wary about any claim that someone/something is the best when nothing is given to support the claim. I thought you were the poster that suggested Hardy were the best (!) , with no evidence to support the claim(sic). In addition if you knew about fishing rods you'd know to whom I was referr...

Have to admit I've reached that conclusion! I've been resident in a stunning town for just over ten years; medieval town centre, open moors a mile from the centre, stunning beaches a 4 mile walk away, incredible walks though the Dukes parklands / pastures FOC, excellent connections by bus, train an...

Hi, Honda's going to close Swindon it seems. It's a biggy. And they say that’s because they want to concentrate on electric cars, they said nothing to do with Brexit. I think it is safe to say that you are not an avid reader of the Swindon Advertiser... https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/1598...

Fishing tackle: well, the finest rods were made by a company in Poole, company founded in Ware - one of the UKs finest rod designers was co-director. John Traditional Fisherman. I was thinking of Hardy, their products are usually considered to be amongst the very best. Hardy were very good, I have ...

You should be asking more for this.Last year I sold one of similar vintage for £310 on EBay.

It is not the job of a plumber to address such issues.The tap clearly does not function properly.A sensible plumber would fit a replacement and then return the offending tap to either the retailer or to the makers,Bristan. Taps were never an issue before some smart person introduced more expensive ...

Anytown is boring if one lives there long enough? Have to admit I've reached that conclusion!

Harrogate has a big problem with motor traffic and futile attempts to deal with it have arguably made it worse. From a cycling POV, jams are ideal if you are ok with the fumes, but urban routes which have turned Victorian streets into one-way systems are not. Fred Trueman apparently said Harrogate ...

...........but does it include cycle touring? Policies often have a clause that bans something done as the sole part of the holiday. The example I've seen given is you can go diving, but you can't be on a diving holiday, eg living on a dive boat. My policy specifically includes "cycle touring&...

Can someone please explain why our PM keeps going on about how they *have* to go ahead on Brexit because it was a manifesto promise etc etc, when every political party in history (including her's) has quite happily broken manifesto promises before without any qualms? :?: Because she sees electoral ...

I did a very quick search and found these. DOn't know if they show favour but they certainly seem to be very positive comments compared to his previous words on the same. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/feb/12/mark-carney-brexit-bank-of-england-uk https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/bre...
