Locals say house prices will plummet (of course), Todays news says that global warming will stay the same for 20 years and then increase again.
Where do they get these people

Whoaaaahhh.....that photo of the fry-up is hardly the best advert for the Great British Breakfast.

Apart from the gross amount of food piled on the plate , the egg looks in need of intensive care and the sausages appear to be cheap manufactured tubes of slurry.

I assume a hearty bottle of HP is standing just off-camera.

For those of a discerning palate I recommend Farmer Sharp at Borough market......because you can't beat a bit of Cumbrian Carnivorocity.

Looks an interesting area of Britain, love to see the famous Transporter Bridge!.......I did purchase the Book 'Crap towns of Britain' a while back just to see what it is was all about......no Town in Britain is Crap, a Town is what the inhabitants and local authority make of it, even Slough is a nice town, just a pity about the Bus Station!

Thanks for the tip Freddie!.........I'll certainly check out Farmer Sharp next time I'm at the good ole Borough Market.......they certainly love their 'Posh' Bangers there!

Beautiful Cornwall........looking from, and toward St. Michael's Mount.......

Dame Vera Lynn, Kate Winslet, and the effervescent Barbara Windsor........three great British icons!

I am a big fan of Babs, but that portrait is awful. Sorry Mark.

I have just been reading this myself. I used to work with Kelly Stevenson - she was a barmaid in the Billingham Synthonia club,where I was manager/licensee. I know Billy Dunlop's brother and father (his uncle is the actor Joe Dunlop),and I know Tommy Mooney's father.
Not a bad town,but neglected by Stockton Borough Council.
