The one here is cramped, has fewer stock of larger items found in larger stores and is somewhat subject to chaos and confusion if more than a handful of browsing customers choose to be chew through some mags or books. I can't see Asda opening here as Sainsbury have a larg...

OK thanks for filling me in Falkor.
Blimey. That's similar to what I read somewhere of the 12th planet. About it coming into close earth orbit and causing a polor shift in December this year.

Dolphin Attitude & Inhospitality Dept

I have been there on about 3 occasions. I shouldn't have bothered going the 2nd time if it were not for the odd hot day to indulge in a refreshing pint. My 3rd visit was to meet a friend. I approached the bar, there was a broken glass on the floor by the bottom of the bar area and clearly a spillage...

Laptop

I know Lemonade doesn't seem to be about anymore, so I am hoping someone else may be able to help with a technical issue. I have a Sony laptop which I bought from the States earlier this year.

Merc

So sad the way the world is turning out. Sorry to hear of the loss of your rather splendid classic. I remember sometime back, a member of STF wrote an article about his neighbour's Mercedes 123's wheeltrims (in blue) being stolen. - See "Stolen Wheeltrims" in Town Cafe. Well if it was your...
