Hardly a convenience

The County Press Property section (23 Sept) featured 5 council owned toilet blocks that they have decided to sell. The block at the end of Strollers revetement near the Napolean's Landings flats is up for £35000.

You would have to be pretty flushed to afford that, the advert asks for a small deposit and informs you that there is no chain.

I think we ought to create a stink and march on the council offices in Newport ~ let's all adopt and sing "We -eee shall overcome" ~ our anthem.

I suppose the eventual buyer could spend holidays at their own convenience.

Rugby World Cup

The England World Cup rugby team has chosen a BLACK kit as their second strip, the New Zealand rugby union has complained saying that it's their colour. A quote from an NZRFU representative said

"Of all the colours in the rainbow, they chose black."

Holiday comments.

These are genuine comments made by holiday makers to Thomas Cook on returning.

No one told us there would be fish in the sea, the children were startled.

It took us 9 hours to fly to Jamaica from England but it only took the Americans 3 hours.

My fiance and I booked a twin bedded room but we were given one with a double bed, I hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant, it wouldn't have happened if we had had the right room.

From a holiday maker in Spain: There were too many Spanish people, the receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish and the whole place was full of foreigners.

We found that the sand was white and not yellow like in your brochure.

Poor chap!!

New road signs for summer 2011

Oh dear.

I was ready to pay my bill at Tesco and the old woman in front of me collapsed and died. I felt really sorry for her as she had just bought a "Bag for life".

The King's speech

Well, I enjoyed the film, however, it was a bit long. It would have been about an hour and a half if they cut out the stammering.
