Now, that’s weird.
I’ve got to admit, I’ve been floating around the net, and looking at a few history sites.
Bit of personal history. After something of a rough patch, I managed to get a small council bedsit — well, Brentwood council called it a flat, I called it a bedsit, an estate agent would probably call it a granny annex, or a broom cupboard — at what’s now called Four Oaks, in Ingrave Road, and right next to Shenfield Common.

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.
