  1. Me too it was good to meet you today Bill at long last. Good effort from everybody involved and I like Colin's idea of doing this every year in order to keep it under control.
  2. Why does every thing you say have to be so negative! David has not long been elected, maybe the guy want to just do something for his constituents, personally this is what the area needs, so good effort on the councillors part.
  3. Congratulations to the Crown on the industries biggest award.
  4. Good to see all this positive work happening along the gww, it has become so overgrown, i'm sure you guys could spend a whole week there just clearing and cutting back. This is really all very good.
  5. Another scoop Mr James! Well done, you certainly have some very good resources and contacts I'll give you that.
  6. I do not agree with your comments above, in my experience people do not mind paying for this sort of thing as long as they feel that they are getting value for money and what is advertised, in this case they got neither! It has nothing to do with Hereford people because people would be just as annoyed from Leeds I can assure you.
  7. This is a privately owned house from my understanding, so I suppose if they decide they want it left empty then they can, however, the owners should keep the property in order. As it stands this is a health hazard and needs clearing up, if the council end up sorting the mess then the owner should foot the costs.
  8. AV the King George playing field, this is public land is it not? How can council allow them to just fence off an area then charge people to enter that area?
  9. I just read this article: This is the standard argument presented, more even by women than by men, in the Arab world, where strict patriarchal traditions continue to hold female victims responsible for crimes against them by men. If a woman is sexually harassed, then she must have been dressed provocatively. If raped, she somehow must have put herself in a compromising position. If pregnant out of wedlock, her conduct is to blame. And if she is murdered, then she must have committed an even more abhorrent crime.
  10. I can't believe you just wrote that tbh. The next step after separate carriages is 'Hey let's all suggest the women cover themselves up from head to toe so the poor men who can't control their behaviour can get through their day without getting arrested!
  11. Women-only carriages? Are we in Saudi Arabia? What next? Blacks-only....to avoid racial harassment? Corbyn is a dinosaur!
  12. Times have changed and if you visit most European countries you will find large supermarkets and retailers open on Sundays, to be honest its more of an inconvenience when they are closed sometimes. I went to Asda a few weeks ago forgetting it was Sunday and it was not until I got there I realised lol. (I did moan to myself)
  13. So a camera on the lines would not of seen activity under the bridge? So do you know where they are going to be installing the new CCTV Glenda?
  14. Sadly I'm not sure the young man would still be alive had one camera of been on the GWW because from my understanding he was attacked from behind somewhere in Hunderton and not on the lines, nevertheless, it may of shed light on who was in the area at the time. So the first camera is to be installed next month, at what location on the GWW Glenda?
  15. This is a good debate, I have just read this article and it makes complete sense to me and I am overweight. An economics scholar in Norway has recommended that air ticket costs be calculated according to a passenger’s weight. Dr. Bharat P. Bhatta, associate professor of economics at Sogn og Fjordane University College, Norway, is proposing three models that he says, “may provide significant benefits to airlines, passengers and society at large.†In his paper, published in the Journal of Revenue and Pricing Management, Dr. Bhatta noted “a reduction of 1 kilo weight of a plane will result in fuel savings worth US$3,000 a year and a reduction of CO2 emissions by the same token.†Weighing in. “Charging according to weight and space is a universally accepted principle, not only in transportation, but also in other services," Bhatta says. "As weight and space are far more important in aviation than other modes of transport, airlines should take this into account when pricing their tickets.†His three “pay as you weigh†models are: Total weight: A passenger’s luggage and body weight is calculated, with the fare comprising a per kilo cost. In this scenario a passenger weighing 100 kilos with 20 kilos of luggage (120 kilos total) would pay twice that of a passenger of 50 kilos with 10 kilos of luggage (60 kilos total). Base fare +/- extra: A base fare is set, with a per-kilo discount applying for “underweight†passengers and a per-kilo surcharge applying to “overweight†passengers. High/Average/Low: A base fare is set, with a predetermined discount applying for those below a certain weight threshold and a predetermined surcharge applying for those above a certain weight threshold. Bhatta prefers the third of these options. He goes on to say that weight could be ascertained through passenger self-declaration, with one in five passengers randomly selected and weighed to dissuade cheats (with penalties for cheaters) or by weighing all passengers at check in.
  16. Yes I went and bought the one old chap a coffee the other month, I felt so bad for the man, he was very grateful and could not thank me enough. On the flip side I have little time for some of the others mind.
  17. I bet the police object, this will be interesting.
  18. Congratulation to Mark Dykes, you have my support young man, lets see what difference you can make during your term.
  19. That is so funny, never noticed this lol
  20. Cilla Black, what a lovely lady God rest her soul, she will be greatly missed. RIP Cilla
  21. I was thinking the same thing, surely this can be resolved for the sake of the immediate people living either side. If any of these people own their property this eyesore next door must have had an impact on the value of their homes?
