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 … ?

Post a Comment

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.
