Twenty Minutes at the Village Bus Stop

Retreads

AK47s
Posted on Fri, 21 Aug 2026
The AK47s were a blokes' singing group in our village. AK is the initials of the village and 47 was the average age when it started. That was a very long time ago, and as I suppose they don't want to eventually end up being called the AK103s...

Old Harry's Game
Posted on Fri, 21 Aug 2026
Did you ever listen to Old Harry's Game on Radio 4, Jane ? Your post would have made a really good episode. Funny, sad and clever all at the same time.
Poor Thomas, he meant well. I hope he gets out.

Hi Frances I might well go
Posted on Sat, 15 Aug 2026
Hi Frances I might well go for it if it really happened. I just don't know. I've always been a bit of a loner, even in relationships. And I have been very content for many years being single. Some (many?) people aren't cut out to be half a...

Posted on Sat, 15 Aug 2026
Charlotte Proudman had a good article in The Independent pointing out that many white professors are accused of, and found guilty of, sexual harassment of their students, but the professors never get subjected to a media witch hunt.

Shropshire
Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2026
I have had many lovely walking holidays in Shropshire, it's so beautiful and unspoilt. I don't know why more people haven't heard of the Welsh Marches but then perhaps it's a good job they haven't ! My family (the Lancasters) were saddlers in...

I read it as a woman and it
Posted on Mon, 17 Aug 2026
I read it as a woman and it completely resonated with me (my husband ran off with his best friend's wife). I thought you got the development of the affair and the final leaving absolutely right. And beautifully expressed too. Well deserves...

WTF
Posted on Sat, 15 Aug 2026
I've been single for a very long time now. As the poem (is it a poem ?) says, I'm quite content. I've had a few offers but nothing tempted me away from my comfortable, independent life.

criteria schmiteria - you just write it anyway.
My dad (dodgy Dimitar from Southampton), Benny Hill and John Stonehouse all went to school together. Not a lot of people know that.
