Yes it is a Labour Council JB !

Quote from: Alex on Today at 04:26:39 PMApril 23rd is St. George's day.  There's been a kick off here as on Sunday, a group of ' patriots' put flags up on a bridge in the town of Ellesmere Port.  They've all disappeared and someone has posted a photo of council workers with a cherry picker removing the flags at night.  Why ?  everyone is asking and why pay council workmen overtime to remove the flags under cover of darkness ? 

Is it a Labour council?  I think that would explain it, as they are not particularly pro-English people.
I'm not sure about the Limp Dems and the Greenies, either.
I believe that one excuse such people use is that the flag (and our Union Flag) might upset some muslim people.  Perhaps we should be hoisting Pakistan flags?

I ran a forum up until last year.  It was by accident really as the fella who ran it died.  He set up the forum to keep us all together as our Mother Ship was closing down - just like Klondy did here.  .  After he died I just kept it going, there wasn't much to it as we only had about 12 members to begin with.  Gradually numbers dwindled so nobody uses it now.   There are a couple of old members on here though !

I don't know a GHF either Klondy, sorry.

I fully agree with you, Raven. 

As you say, I would have thought it was easy enough to trace a petrol thief.

As for the beggars sitting outside shops,  it's the same here,  only we've got it at Tesco,  and Iceland, and  M&S and Asda.     I can't remember seeing them at Waitrose for some reason though.   
A lady on the tills at Asda once told me that the bloke who is always outside their shop gets picked up in a BMW every night!    I suspect half of them work for gang masters.

I saw the Security people at B&Q  nab a woman shoplifter a few weeks back, too.
It's getting a bit scary in the towns nowadays isn't it.

Apart from being a shitty thing to do,   it seems a stupid thing to do,   petrol stations have CCTV and record the forcourt. All the police have to do is check the number plate and trace the vehicle. Or is this something else they can't be bothered to do. 

Was speaking to a staff member in Tesco this morning as I nearly fell over a young guy sat in the doorway with a begging cup. He was in everyone's way and wouldn't move, he wanted money and he was making sure you knew it. THEN, I looked along and there was another begger at the far door. I moaned about them and the woman said they couldn't do anything about it now, new laws. Also told me they weren't able to tackle shop lifters either, again new law. 
We could do with Brian up here to have a very stern word and scare them off I'm going to try Lidil or the Co-op next time as I'm sick of this every time I go to Tesco.

Yes, they should be good,  its a nice tomato isn't it.

I am trying a new one  (to me) called Akron.
Also  a cherry called  'Sun Cherry',  and lastly the good old 'Gardener's Delight.'
