Beer in the evening if full of old farts like me so I generally approve. I like the discussions where views are clearly polarised. What I don't like is that the web site has now been taken over by some big corporation and therefore gives out 0870 numbers rather than normal land lines, and even the G...

Bensonby seems to have had quite a time on the wagon as his pub reviews dried up.

They were only mild cases but in those days if family would not look after them they were sent to a mental home. We had some peop...

I know of at least a couple of people who have problems with SE23.com due to what appears to be over zealous control with perhaps a sense of humour failure by the webmaster.
