Its a safe bet that any readers from outside of this corner of West Sussex are unlikely to have seen page 7 of this week’s Crawley Observer, so it is reproduced here as a public service. This poor woman was attacked by her own dog and, in the words of the paper, had her face […]

U Got The Look
July 28th, 2008 · Comments Off on U Got The Look · Life
The Argus website has had a bit of a facelift since I last looked at it and is greatly improved. Like many newspaper websites, and most local paper sites, it is a bit ‘busy’ and over-burdened with adverts and sponsored links: but that is how they make it it pay its way. Not so sure […]

So thats what it was about
July 15th, 2008 · Comments Off on So thats what it was about · Life
Apparently the old bill were at the park yesterday because of a ‘vicious brawl’ according to the Observer. Sounds like if I had left work an hour earlier I would have been an eye-witness. Or maybe a victim. Elsewhere on their website is the story I mentioned about the baby who died and the local […]

Sikh as a parrot
June 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Politics
I see from the local papers that the planning application to rebuild the Sikh temple in West Green was turned down. I’m not surprised by this, but I’m a little disappointed. I saw the plans while I was making a social visit to the temple this year and they looked like a vast improvement on […]
I smell burning

On the way to work this morning I was driving past County Oak retail park and could smell a sort of burning smell. I hate that. I am always convinced that I have broken the car somehow. I was a bit relieved when I got into work and could still smell smoke and it all […]

Housing again
May 21st, 2008 · Comments Off on Housing again · Politics
Another story about housing in the local papers; this time from the West Sussex County Times and relating to Horsham district. One thing that everyone agrees on is that it is difficult for youngsters ((which from my perspective now means anyone under thirty unfortunately)) to leave home without leaving the area and difficult for anyone […]

Broadfield House
May 21st, 2008 · 11 Comments · Politics
The Crawley Observer has a story about an application to turn Grade II listed Broadfield House into apartments. Looking at the plans the proposal is to cram 12 apartments into the building, which will mean, I guess, that there is no obligation to include any affordable housing at all.  The publicity came about because a […]

Expert?
May 7th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Work
I’m amazed, flattered, and gobsmacked to see myself described in the the Crawley Observer as an “IT expert”.  I suppose these things are all relative and compared to some people I might be an expert, but I work alongside some very clever types who actually deserve the description: the sort of people who can work […]

Yes to Holmbush?
April 22nd, 2008 · Comments Off on Yes to Holmbush? · Politics
It looks like there will be 2,500 new homes built in the strategic gap between Horsham and Crawley, just West of Bewbush. The plans have been agreed by both councils, although the Horsham leader, Liz Kitchen has expressed reservations saying she doesn’t want to see the two towns joining up.
