My brother dug a big hole and buried an elephant there. He didn't really. George Vardy plant hire ltd got the job of doing it, my brother was an aprentice at the time. Zoo animals don't die they just get moved to other zoo's or so they say. They don't, they get buried in holes dug by local bulldozer firms.

Too bad the lovely underground Victorian toilets at the top of the high street had to be filled in, anyone know if something can be done about this ? would make a great bar or just reverted back to useful toilets again.

I think everyone looking through rose tinted glasses need to go back and check the crime rates, unemployment rates. Check riots through the 80s and 90s, the disasters that occurred and the IRA terror attacks. The estates weren’t clean - abandoned or burned out cars were strewn around and took the council 7 days before they could remove them and graffiti and litter were rife. The councils sold off housing cheap but couldn’t reinvest that money into the existing housing stock hence the council housing was generally in a very poor state. But I still I wish we could go back to those reasonably settled times when no one felt the need to shout out on social media what their opinions were and your politics or religion didn’t matter. Religion still doesn’t but just like in America it may start to be a rallying point. Society needs to settle down and relax. Sort things out in a quiet measured manner. Wishful thinking I suppose.

We were MUCH happier then, go to Newcastle now on a Saturday afternoon, Northumberland St will be FULL of immigrants, it resembles parts of London. Lab & Con have destroyed our once beautiful country.

The lasses on here need fattening up and get a few tattoos on their arms and neck. Perhaps Botox their lips and get painted eyebrows a little too fat and high. Oh, and get a mobile they can look lovingly into. God, the 80s were awful but still so much better than today.
