My bloody aviary roof leaks when it rains. It's getting on my tits.

I'm trying to watch this at home between family life (so segments of about 30-40mins), but is superb. When life allows, I will re-watch the whole thing.

This is a typical attitude of "kids don't [insert thing here] these days", which is a nonesense, as the No. In the 1970s it was like this: Then protests happened (as did in America) because kids were getting killed, but in Netherlands the political will was there to do something about it. The...

Yes they have. Parents don't give kids the freedom many of us used to have, and the main reason is traffic. That they spend so much time in front of screens is a symptom not a cause. But its not just the amount of cars, but the fact that cars are getting bigger, and therefore more dangerous to...

Many of the places I used to do such things no longer exit. Many tree climbing areas and open fields have either been built on or turned into arable fields. I used to bike miles as a kids, but my kids can't, owing to the shear volume of traffic. Highwayman said he was working on a new junction...

We have a small hardware store near us and got taken over by a nice family a year or two ago, but they now rarely have anything I want. They took it on, and changed little in the stock, until things were sold, and now the screws/bolts/tools have some fairly random selections. The consumables...

We don't get much rain in Hull either, but I believe you get even less on Norfolk. PS: No hosepipe ban here yet (famous last words!)

One of the things that puts Hull on the map is its non-existence as a city. We all call it Hull, but strictly speaking its Kingston, as the river is called Hull. Hence KC - Kingston Communication.
