Why stop at the internet ? What about media overload - Surely constant viewing of corry, eastenders, X factor etc is as bad as twitter, facebook, reddit, xbox.... It's just that we find couchpotatoism more acceptable than gluing yourself to your table, phone, PC, console...


My wife spends her life facebooking, tweeting, instagramming, whattsapping where as I would you tube, wiki and research for interest (with a bit of PS3ing in between) - 2 sides of the same coin. I like to learn (really hate none educational media no matter how its packaged) where as my wife likes the relax and consume media content.

    • I had no idea about the sourcing of the paving stones - where is the info on this? The extension of the paved area seems completely unjustified- plus, there is a cycle lane right thru the middle so there are bound to be some near misses with pedestrians. 
    • That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this? 
    • I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?
    • The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside
