A few Points!

Well, there’s a thing … !

Just to update everybody on the Great Parking Saga, it’s been confirmed that the actual scheme went into force on August 17th. Along with the clamping scheme.

All to the good.

And, happily, the new Bike sheds are now in place!

NOW all I’ve gotta do is figure out the door code to park a bike …

I do know something else, as well, though; my last letter to the Gazette got published!

Wheee!!

I wrote to them, after last week’s report about the couple running The Dog And Partridge, in Kelvedon, deciding to give up the tenancy, after a rather nasty fight; not something you want, if you’ve very young children.

But the point I made — that, if you’re working in the pub industry, you have to expect these things — is one I think is very valid, and relevant.

And reiterated by the simple fact that the front page of this week’s Gazette had a report about what sounds like a major incident outside the Sugar Hut Village — in the building formerly known as The White Hart — on Sunday night.

Ooh, by the way, that junction — under the photo of Sugar Hut’s front door — is the junction that used to be the Sir Charles Napier …

I know the slip road was put there, because of the new cinema development, but I’m gonna miss it …

Oy!

But, at any rate, I think Tim and Adele, down the bottom, there are pleased. While I’ve not been able to figure out fully what’s going on, we’ve managed to download and update the Flash Player on their laptop, to handle flash based movies.

But unlike Allison’s, it won’t deal with Flash based games; and her laptop’s an older, slightly lower specced machine, running the same version of Ubuntu … !

Go figure!!

I’m thinking I’ll be making some phone calls about that!!

I love it when someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.

Thank you.
