www.thepotteries.org/ A local site for local people. A clear and precise demonstration of just how good we are at writing websites and spelling. "Mitchelin Tyres" gets a mention but the author doesn't seem to know it's largely shut.
Not sure if anyone died this week. If they did can they e-mail me, with a copy of the death certificate, and I'll feature them here.
L'Eau
Filling up with petrol on the M1 I noticed the price was 85.9 English pence per French litre. "Gosh" thought I, "that's quite expensive. I suppose they have to spend vast quantities of cash finding it. Then there's the drilling and pumping. After all that there's the refining, not to mention the tax mnaking up most of the price.
Being a little thirsty I purchased a bottle of water. How much!!!! One pound forty nine pence. It comes out of the ground in Boxton all by its self! All they do is shove it in bottles!!
Welcome to Rip Off Britain
More car bombs...........
Two To Die
Two men, sentenced to die in the electric chair on the same day, were led down to the room in which they would meet their maker. The priest had given them last rites, the formal speech had been given by the warden, and a final prayer had been said among the participants.
The warden, turning to the first man, solemnly asked, "Son, do you have a last request?"
To which the man replied, "Yes sir, I do. I love dance music. Could you please play the Macarena for me one last time?"
"Certainly," replied the warden. He turned to the other man and asked, "Well, what about you, son? What is your final request?"
"Please," said the condemned man, "kill me first."

"This week taken by our roving reporter in the heart of Wolstanton"
You can see how it ruins the view of the beautiful 1960's shop fronts and flats built on the site of some dreadful Victorian buildings which had to go because they were old.
"Graffitti" The letters are actually on it. Somebody went to great lengths with this protest.
"More Graffitti"
People nearby are complaining of "interference on the telly".

Formula 1:
The British Grand Prix wil no longer be part of the travelling circus. Bernie Ecclestone wanted nine million English pounds over three years. Silverstone can't afford it. Wolstanton Weekly (and sister publications) would like to tell Bernie exactly where he can shove his boring, predictable, run-round-in-circles-behind the-red-cars, money spinning business. You Guessed. The sun doesn't shine there.
First frost of the cold season this week.
Maybe I'll show you my D road plan next week. I know you're dying to see it!
Yooo Hoooo!
I did get a phone call this week, which was nice.
Don't ask how I found this one!
