I do not think that I could find the place again, even if I would wish to. It is sufficient for our narration to note that the bar was in London, and not on any of the main streets. Oh, if only I had chosen to stay on the main streets, instead of walking down [...]

Sorry to point this one out to those of you who may already have seen this, but… …when Swansea Council needed to put up a sign in English and Welsh to say “No Entry For Heavy Goods Vehicles. Residential Site Only”, they needed to get the appropriate phrase translated into Welsh also. What went up [...]

I’ve been to London. Well, I say I’ve but really ’twas the Clan Pickard: me, GLW and the two kiddies. We had a couple of nights staying with my Dad and his family in Brentwood (and the kids were delighted to see Grandad, Nanny and their Auntie and Uncle), and a couple of nights staying [...]
