During the last week the nasty steel canopies at our shopping parade have been getting a bit of a facelift. Workmen have been rubbing down all the patches where the old paint had flaked off and the metal was rusty, and applying new paint to the whole lot. I know that the parade, unlike the […]

A good start
October 27th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Politics
Last night we had our Broadfield branch meeting. It was very informal, with none of that nonsense about reports from officers, matters arising or anything like that but instead just n anything-goes talk about what we want to do in the branch. So we talked about what are the issues which most concern people in […]

BNP on the offensive
October 10th, 2006 · 7 Comments · Politics
No surprise to see “offensive” and “BNP”so close together, but I am refering to the fact that we had a BNP leaflet through our door this evening. Actually it was two leaflets – an A5 sheet inside a folded A4 sheet. The A5 sheet is all about Islam. It says “We are not against individual […]

Police activity

I was a bit later home than normal yesterday, having gone for a quick drink after work with a colleague who is leaving this week. When I got back to Broadfield there were three police cars parked by the Tollgate Hill roundabout on the A264 , another couple parked at the top of Tollgate Hill, […]

Lucky, Lucky Oxford

Not content with thrashing Crawley in the top 100 Labour bloggers league, Oxford inflicted another body blow on Crawley tonight when Oxford United stole three points from Crawley Town live on Sky Sports. I think this is about the third time that Crawley Town have been on Sky Sports, but I still can’t get used […]

School transport

I recently heard about something which has really annoyed me. Our girl has a friend whose sister goes to Manor Green College as a year 9 pupil. Manor Green is a brilliant school. Our boy goes there and has benefitted greatly from it. The school is for children with learning disabilities and is the result […]

Links from Tories
September 16th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Politics, Technology
I have found a couple of links or references to my little site from Tories. One is generating a few visits, and one could generate a lot more in the future. The first is from Adam Brown. Sorry, I mean Adam G Brown – he seems very insistent on the G. Adam is a councillor […]

Fire Stations
September 14th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Politics
The complaints about West Sussex county council’s intention to move the town’s fire station from the town centre to Cheals roundabout are still appearing in the letters pages of the local papers. None of the letters mention the North-East sector in relation to this. The reason I am referring to it is that last week’s […]

Members old and new
September 12th, 2006 · Comments Off on Members old and new · Politics
Yesterday I went around Broadfield visiting members of the Broadfield Labour Party, especially those who joined recently or who we have never seen at at any meetings. In the case of new members the purpose was to give them a personal welcome to the party. For other members the purpose was to find out why […]

Broadfield Post Office
September 4th, 2006 · Comments Off on Broadfield Post Office · Life
While we were away, being camp in Dorset, the post office in Broadfield re-opened, along with the newsagent, which has to be good news. I have not actually been in there yet, but I nearly did this morning. I have never managed a newsagent, or any other small retail business, but I still feel qualified […]
