Ithought the newspaper article was very good. The reporter sounds desperate to DO something ,or at least to shake the council out of their comfy seats.
Of course nothing will happen as usual,there will be angry letters for a while ,then all will be back to normal. Something really radical has to happen for things to change.
The problem is ,very much like in Coventry- everyone grumbles about injustices and things , but will not back each other up when the time comes.
I always think of Warwick as a quaint old town which it is, but you are right, most of the new build has no character whatsoever. I hate that area by Woolies.
Last summer I was passing through Warwick on a Saturday It was market day so I stopped to have a look. What a pathetic scene it was too.
I wonder if it is always as dreary as that. Even the stallholders looked as if they had given up.
The new market in Bedworth is attractive, although the rentals are extortionate , so we dont get so much variety as we did when it was in the town centre.While the new one was being built it was held in the centre and crowds came 3 times a week. People asked the Council to leave it there but of course they always know best what's good for the proles so it moved and not many visitors come now.
Ilike the bit about the pancake maker. which reminded me:::
I had an 'incident' with my car last June and the person who was dealing with it at the insurance company went on maternity leave. I was told that I'd have to wait. I phoned their freephone number every day for two weeks until they got fed up and passed it on to someone.
I'm still waiting for my money----should be here next week.
