I thoroughly enjoyed this, it
Posted on Tue, 30 May 2017

Crikey, is this a Suffolk
Posted on Wed, 25 Nov 2015
Crikey, is this a Suffolk thing, like pargeting? Very amusing. Bring back the park keeper I say, he'll sort them out with his rake.

Posted on Fri, 20 Nov 2015
Love this, 'winter ending so soon'. I can imagine how he feels; New Year for breakfast, Easter for lunch, Christmas for dinner. Time can fly and drag all at the same time. I do hope that elderly lady was doing something nice in her garden - how...

Wow, do you work for Reading
Posted on Tue, 17 Nov 2015
Wow, do you work for Reading Borough Council? This is brilliant, repellent, hilarious, well-written and the rest. Don't think I can eat dinner now though.
