Crosswalks indeed!
In fact any Americanisms on UK media.
And their spelling. Neighbor, color, program, tires, math etc.
The one that gets me the most is aluminum
Ah yes when the Americans urged us all yo use their spellings of Sulphur, and sulphuric, but refused to use the rest of the world’s aluminium.
Perhaps for them we should refer to sodum, pottassum, magnesum, chromum, etc2 users thanked author for this post.
Happier days.
Top shops not been long open, everything clean and new, almost every shop you’d need.
And probably the best chippy in town, where I got more chips for my four penn’orth than my dad got for his sixpence.
Mind… I could barely see over the counter.
Ley’s Farm was a farm although derelict, even then. We used to watch skylarks over the fields, then find the nest below.
And you could walk from Messingham Road, west across fields to Scotter Road and not see a road or a house.
Canada Farm was still working, and both the Moor well and the Brank well were actual wells.
Further across was Gravs, an old gravel pit, very wild.
Happy memories.
Except for Bottesford Beck… it was an open sewer and you could smell it from 50 yards on a still day 🙁1 user thanked author for this post.
Lol, who knew the sound of Riddings was so pastoral.
Was in 1959/60.
Most of it not complete, roads not made up etc.1 user thanked author for this post.
If he goes to FG, I have to say I’m underwhelmed.
It also makes me question my purchase of another season ticket.
It’s beginning to look like we’re back to, “Yeah, we’re ok where we are thanks, but we’re a well-run club”.1 user thanked author for this post.
Tend to agree. We all may have different options about PDs post and Stu’s response but he should have the right to criticise without being censored.
Because no one has ever been censored on Bru…oh…wait…

Keep the supporters on side?
Only when asking for hand-outs.

Been on my playlist since it’s release, almost fifty years ago.

Another motoring one: SUV’s.
What’s that all about?
For a start, the first letter is a lie. They aren’t “Sport” at all. Most are sluggish, and will fall over if cornered quickly.
And “Utility”? No more utility than the average hatch.
Why on earth are there so many, each manufacturer having several?
And WHY do most people want such huge vehicles?3 users thanked author for this post.
Surely the “proof” is that Yeovil announced a signing of a player we’d had on loan all season, but we’ve said nothing about not re-signing him?
That’s not proof the club knew he was joining Yeovil,it’s proof he is joining Yeovil only
Do you think he went to the Iron and said I’m negotiating with Yeovil while he has an offer on the table?
Might just have done so.
If he thought we might increase our offer.
So far we’ve “allowed” two to escape, but signed no one.
Bargain basement again?It’s not even the end of May yet. Lots of clubs will lose players in the coming weeks, but will not sign others until they have gone. Many contracts run until end June as well.
We don’t have a very good record of getting in players early, but it is somewhat unfair to start haranguing them so early.
Yeah, point taken.
Just bored, so looking for stuff to discuss.

To score we need service in their area.
Plus players who will shoot, not pass to a colleague trying to give them a tap in.
I bet that the high scoring teams took far less touches in or around the opponents area than we do.
And a message to AB: we are NEVER going to score, or create a chance from a back pass or a pass parallel to our penalty area in our half.
It’s not clever and it’s not pretty.1 user thanked author for this post.
