Mary, who’s been at this a long time, has a couple of good squirrel recipes for you.
First, catch your squirrel…
The WECA mayor candidates (perhaps not including Reform candidate Arron Banks) will answer questions at a venue on Avonvale Rd. Hopefully not all about the LTN trial , but no doubt it will be discussed.(tickets free but registration needed)
Yeah, I doubt if Arron Banks would be happy visiting “little Somalia” (as he referred to Bristol) and certainly I don’t think Bristol’s residents would be happy seeing that racist piece of shit
Well they, Jackie and John Cooke, were offered by the DVLA for no extra charge the numberplate JJ64GAS which seems a better and more personalised plate than the one they had originally to me.I don’t know – that seems a bit lame. What’s the “6” doing there?
I’m mainly just playing devil’s advocate here, but the DVLA did seem to be taking the piss by only offering their original purchase price back to them without any accounting for inflation. However, personalised plates are often somewhat tacky, so I don’t have much sympathy for the Cookes either.
Well yes, I read that in the article but who would honestly use the phrase “I’m number one for the Gas”? But give them the benefit of the doubt by all means, maybe they did purchase it genuinely for the reasons stated, but once it’s pointed out, fairly reasonably in my view, that it could be misconstrued as an offensive term, why make such a fuss about wanting to keep it?Probably because they’ve been using it for 30 years and not received any complaints until the DVLA sprung this on them.
If you were a gas-head, what number plate would you choose to advertise the fact?
(Disclaimer: I am not and have never been a Rovers fan)
The approving tone of the coverage there is rather worrying, no? Even describes their decision to screw it to the garden shed as “ingenious”. Absolutely don’t buy it, it’s about as convincing as people wearing golliwog T-shirts and saying it’s because they like jam.However, their story does make sense with the plate supposedly standing for “Number one for the GAS” where “The Gas” is a common description used for Bristol Rovers (e.g fans are gasheads). However, I don’t know the couple so can’t judge their real motivation.

hawkinspeter – for what it’s worth, I’m still haunted by the squirrel on its polyester tray in the chiller at Swanage Budgen’s I saw a few years ago.
PS – I know it can be annoying to chefs when customers smother their creations in this stuff, please but please don’t claim there is no British ketchup:
More people should eat grey squirrels as they are a pest. I’m concerned about whose brain he’s serving when he often doesn’t seem to have a sufficient supply for his own use.
And so it begins…

A fire crew got stuck behind a bollard on the way from a bin fire in a block of flats in Barton Hill as they’d forgotten the code to lower it.
It really feels like we’re living in some sort of SF dystopian novel, doesn’t it?PKD foresaw it, though his novel was based on a different outcome of WWII, not the precursor to WWIII. Maybe the Idiocracy film is a closer fit?

Bit of a strange one – van trapped in car park for 2 years. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9qw74djvnjo Doesn’t say how many others were trapped. Couldn’t they use a fork lift ?I’m surprised that they didn’t get the police involved for theft of the van. Maybe the terms and conditions for using the car park state that you relinquish any right to the property left there?
I’m pretty sure that’s an untitled goose

At this rate, we’re gonna need a different thread.
