English Travel, History and Architecture

Reading Last Taxi to Kensington, the brilliant drama of wartime love and sacrifice, moved me to pursue my own career in romance literature (in which I've had modest success).   I urge Simon Tinsley to welcome the cast and crew of the upcoming mini-series to Stoney Grove and make this wonderful story come alive again for all of us.

Bratherton, an Old Blow Hard

Corporal punishment, like public deference to the so-called aristrocracy who bleed humanity dry from the confines of their gilded leech-jars, has gone the way of the dinosaurs in modern England. Let Bratherton try to beat the youthful exuberance out of young boys and star-crossed lovers. I'll beat him at the polls soon enough.

Curry, an English Tradition

Mr Appleton should know that Indian take-aways are a true part of the culture of the England, and his racist remarks have not passed unnoticed. He should also be aware that we are taking steps to reduce traffic in the Puckerings. As an opening measure,  I suggest that if we see this pompous twit on our streets, we run him out of the village. He is not welcome in my restaurant, and I send no regards to his mother!
