I've been thinking ( yes me, oh joy ) this for a while.


Other peoples words & phrases stand out so much sometimes we find ourselves adopting them or they evoke a particular place & person


For example Keef wrote-


and the soundtrack is brill (on the feel good movie thread)


Brill is a great word, so 80's and so ready for a revival. Well done Keef !



My mum used to say "I should co-co" if you pushed your luck a bit too far, where did that come from ?

You're back then. Did Admin run you a Dettol bath after a quick swishing and thwacking?

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
