The General Conversation Thread

I'd push the boat out and get a nice bottle of real Coke for that one. None of your home-brand Cola rubbish.

 

I hope nobody here has been affected by the tragic event at Banham Poultry in Attleborough. Very sad!

 

Cluckily not!

Bah!

Patisserie Valerie finance chief arrested after police discover unusual turnover.

 

They're probably in a right old pickle

 

Hmm, strange habits down your neck of the woods
You carry on putting pickle (?) in turnovers, I'll stick to good old-fashioned apple.

 

Pickle would make it unusual as per your post

 

What on earth is a 15-year old boy doing out at 11.50pm when he should be at school the following day?????
Don't his parents even care where he is????

Blooming heck Cromer - we may have to pay to use the Coasthopper!!!!
http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/over-60s-threaten-coasthopper-in-north-norfolk-sanders-coaches-1-5738528

 

That's his whole point, though? The lion's share of coasthopper users are blue-rinse locals or well heeled second home owners from London and the shires
If they were only entitled to free bus travel in the county of their primary home, and had to pay even a concessionary fare when swanning around Norfolk, Kent, Cornwall etc, then local bus companies wouldn't be so dependent on the miserly handouts they get from central and local government.
I use and admire Sanders rural bus network and without their services we'd be reet knackered!

 

Anglia Square - squalid carbuncle or prime development opportunity?
https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/politics/opinion-a-fresh-approach-for-anglia-square-1-5740008

 

Anglia square could certainly use sprucing up. I don't really buy into this nonsense about the tower being horendous. The reality is that we have more and more people trying to squeeze into every UK city (Unless of course Brexit some how reverses the trend.) To be a modern city some taller buildings are an inevitable, the revised plans are OK in my book, but then I don't live in the fine city any longer.
The reality for me is that any new housing is as a generalisation pretty awful. OK it might be modern and clean, but often the quality is suspect, there is no character or charm and If you aren't after getting tiny rooms and a postage stamp for a garden, you'd better be a millionaire.

Bah!

 

Well said Cromer and I think that's a great idea of only being allowed to use it in their 'home county', otherwise pay a concessionary fare!!
They do indeed run services to some outlying villages.

 

Have I Got News For You‏ @haveigotnews

As figures show 6,000 local banks have closed since 2010, the government points out
they’ve actually remained open, but are now of the food variety.

 

Not yet 4 p.m. and it's so frickin' gloomy I've had to put a
light on - and the clocks don't go back until later tonight!!

 

Ex-England and Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle is seriously ill in hospital after appearing as a pundit for BT Sport today, his 61st birthday.

 

I only posted that one because it's all inclusive, not divisive.
Plus it's the first one I can recall of a political yet humorous nature for months. Literally.
I'll delete it.

 

Get in Eileen, with a bit of faith he'll be right as rain in no time!

Bah!
