I think we'd prefer it to be referred to as fuzz, not beards. Facial fuzz (soft and fair, invisible to all but the most close examination) has certain connotations; bearded ladies, something quite different. 'All the fun of the fair' would never again have the same meaning for us.

>>The inhabitants of Underhill Road I was referring to were Mr Hancock (the corner<<


I am not sure he has lived there for a while. The house went on the market again very soon after he moved in, and the estate agent's "For Sale" sign remained up for ages as the front garden got more and more overgrown and dilapidated. I am not sure though whether he ever sold up - the "Stoke City FC" stained glass window is still in the bedroom window visible from the rear! - although the house is now clearly occupied again.

Not very specific this, but my neighbour and pal told me she saw a man she recognised in the Uplands a while back. She couldn't place him but then got talking to him and he told her he was an actor and had been in Troy with Brad Pitt. Don't know his name, but he lives on CP Road. Nero

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
