About the High Street … Again …

Weird, isn’t it … ?

You put up an innocent post about the High Street, and immediately have a local councillor get in touch …

Bless her, I’ve just had Councillor Chilvers mail me, about the post I’d put up, yesterday.

Mostly … ?

To let me know the local Lib-dems had put up a post about the amount of shops closing in town.

Or picture gallery, I should say … !

On top of that … ?

I’ve just heard from both Kevin D and Movie Night Adrian that there’s a rumour — rumour, I should stress, on behalf of all three of us — that the local branch of Argos is to close down.

To quote the Kate Bush song, The Dreaming … ?

“Bang goes ANOTHER kanga, on the bonnet of the van”.

With the usual high pitch wails*, of course …












* Which is what I was doing, after having a browse through Brentwood Council’s website: there’s a section on the High Street, complete with a line that claims Brentwood High Street’s bus stop’s are enhanced with “real-time information”.

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
