    Moving to Australia

    Can only speak as I find and never had a problem. In fairness if you want to play the 'stuffy pom' role and be stand offish that can rub them up the wrong way. The only thing (and this really can be a problem) is that they cannot take it when they loose, great at dishing it out when winning but...

    Moving to Australia

    Got a son out there (Melbourne) and have been out there quite a few times and spent a lot of time out there. It is a fantastic place to live, and the people are the friendliest people I have ever come across, in fact I would go so far as to say I have never met and Australian I could not get on...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Am not one for conspiracy theories and actually quite like seeing them de-bunked when it happens, but having worked in the NHS for over 25 years, and been ward based, sadly things like this do happen. Suspect it is a genuine error on someones part but nothing more than that. Things like this...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Am not one for conspiracy theories, but I cannot help but wonder if the way certain European Governments have behaved over the various vaccines (and continue to do so) and the way in which they have tried to hinder the roll out in the UK, is there a concern amongst those same Governments that it...

    Sarah Everard

    Agree, but instinct makes you want to try and help prevent a possible assault. Looking at it objectively if me and my misses were having a verbal argument and someone came along and started sticking their nose in, my misses would probably be the first to tell them to mind their own business.

    Been in that situation before, and being told by the woman "he's always like this, I can deal with it".

    A Coventry Murder on TV Tonight

    The 'stabbing' in Tile Hill, does anyone know what the implement was? Agree about the lack of police on the streets, the only time I ever see a policeman is when they are in a car racing to an incident, never see one on the beat anymore and that has got to be due to the fact that a lot were...

    A Coventry Murder on TV Tonight

    Thought so, remember my mum doing her shopping in Riley Square and dropping in to Sainsbury's. It was really nice with lot's of different shops at the time.

    A Coventry Murder on TV Tonight

    Am I imagining it or when Riley Square first opened (late 60's) was there a Sainsbury's there? Seem to remember being dragged round there when I was a kid.

    Ian St John

    Memory might be playing tricks on me, but when Cantwell got the sack a lot of people thought St John would be offered the job and was surprised when he left so quickly after Cantwell.

    Ian St John

    I remember him being at Coventry (I may well be wrong) but left just after Noel Cantwell got the sack. Think he felt Cantwell had been treated unfairly and that's why he left.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Last week Jeremy Hunt suggested this would be the figure they would aim for before lifting restrictions. Maybe it's the usual 'drip drip' way of getting information out there to see how the public respond and get everyone used to the idea.

    Things that annoy you

    Never knew this, always thought it had to be 'tapped' for the transaction to occur. In future my card will hover above the pad and I will look on in disgust at anyone who insists on 'tapping' their card on the pad.

    Help with 'offers in excesss' when buying a house

    What is it about this house that your wife really likes? Had a similar situation years ago with my wife, and when we broke it down the aspects she liked were applicable to lots of other houses and therefore opened up our options. Also, set your maximum and be prepared to walk away if it goes...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    So long as they don't let Jeremy Hunt anywhere near it!!

    Who knows Bedworth?

    Grew up in Bedworth and worked a lot in Nuneaton. Both town's are not a patch on what they used to be in terms of night life, but the people are friendly, and if I am honest there are times when I really miss them. At the other end of Marston lane is The Miners, a cracking little pub that is...

    Cringey football terms deserving of a temporary ban

    He's a 'top top' player, instead of he's a very good player.
