Right, hopefully, those photos show up!
I’ve got to confess to happily — and quickly — having meet Joe Sturdy: up at Café Nero, in case regular reader, Debbi Mack, remembers the place.
Mostly … ?
Well, mostly because there’s a few technical details I wanted to clear up, about the regular posts I do on the Gazette’s site.
Basically, I think the text clippings I do — something of a feature of OS X, ever since I first got a Mac — are causing a knock on problem.
But I ALSO wanted to show him the patch of ground in Saint James Road: one that developers have wanted to build on, ever since I moved in, in 2008.
The pictured ones.
I’ve objected for years: on the grounds that the overspill parking in Brunel House already causes problems getting from Warley Hill, TO Rollason Way.
As I feel the clip shows.
Hopefully … ? That will get SOME form of attention. Or cause an uproar, something like that …
