Dereg of building permissions? There’s a draft NPPF. Decisions are still being made under old regime. I think it’s ok to say Labour are still wrestling with implementing change. They’ve hitched to budget constraints. However to pretend the world is turned upside down just creates falsehoods.

That isn’t true though. I was no fan of previous governments. But much of the devo and regen funding was negotiated under different governments. Where Labour could have made big new investments such as HS3, theyve copped out. Yes some targeted new money - regen now was set in motion years ago

There’s such little interest in the ward itself. By-elections always play out like this but they aren’t even pretending to care about what needs the people of Gorton and Denton might have. It’s not a good strategy to beat reform

Other than recommending you google it. A roadman is someone who is street wise, has its roots in Jamaican Uk slang. Youth, usually wearing black designer street wear.

I once got punctured on Eccles Pike by a hedgehog prong/spike

What is that. Imagine an Edwardian seeing that; or even describing that experience to someone 20 years ago. Our expectations are so low. I do remember auctions with similar types of things in 2000. But depressing. Car boots are more lovingly set out.

This is how you end up with Gatorade watering crops.

I now have my second easiest and lost the bottom of the cassette. I’ll have to settle.

They were. I was actually shopping for my daughter. 70% of what I buy is usually ‘boys’ or it’s all washed out pastels and being kind/nice/ messages with frills. Not bold, primary colours: With science or dinosaurs. She likes pink and unicorns but also other stuff.

Who says we don’t live in a car brain world. About half of the jumpers today had cars on them. Conditioning

Crazy. Undertaking. Overtaking

Forgot to post the picture of the road I’m talking about. But it’s obvious hopefully

Then the driver - who on a slow moving roundabout just starts driving out whilst I’m on it and they’re looking at me. Dead eye. And carry on driving towards me. I had to stop. In the roundabout. to not get hit. I passed her in the queue. There were more too.

Nor should it’s sister road be dual lane. And 40. (Or certainly was 40 2 years ago.) This can be one of the most terrifying roads in weather like today. It was today. Race track. And entrance to university sports facilities where kids play at the weekend.
