justme - it was probably quite a nice little town in 1978. It was redeveloped in the 80s, and is now a somewhat soulless place. Still no mossies though But, sadly, nowhere sells fish and chips in newspaper any more...

Bureaucracy gone mad... I blame those in the Benelux region myself...

What next ? No more bendy bananas ? Oh, hang on...

So sad to hear that about the town/people. Change is not always for the better!

What gives with the fish/chips stands? They were awesome. Yummy [big] warm fish fillet, chips, touch of malt vinegar, plenty of salt....

Getting hungry here.

err..it's just the Bene bit please. Leave us Luxos out of it. Yes we have no bendy bananas. In fact, we have no bananas at all. Ours are all imported.

Bloomin' roundabouts! Everywhere looks the same! I still can't tell the parkways apart... At least Milton Keynes labels theirs!

hmm, imagine what it's like living in a town whose most famous landmark is a roundabout.
