    Amazon Prime scam

    Amazon Prime is a scam itself. They tricked me into signing up by changing the delivery details on the checkout page without my knowledge or consent. I cancelled immediately then milked them for free deliveries for a month. They've tried several times since to trick me into signing up again...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Strange isn't it? I live in what is probably THE most multi-cultural area of Coventry (including large numbers of asylum seekers) and haven't witnessed a single racist incident in many years.

    New Labour Leader

    But even Boris wasn't stupid enough to promise to buy a house for every homeless person and compensate every woman of mrs dutchman's age with £37,000. I didn't necessarily disagree with Corbyn's policies I just didn't think they were realistic or achievable and neither did much of the...

    Prediction League 2019/2020

    Be careful what you wish for or Nick might put you in charge of updating the figures and save himself a load of work! ;) (It happened to me once in another forum)

    Things that annoy you

    I always get that song mixed up with "B.o.B - Airplanes" and if you search for it on YouTube the two songs come up together so I can't be the only one!

    The Flying Standard

    It was demolished in 1986 to make room for Sky Blue Way. Despite its mock-Tudor appearance it was actually a post-war reconstruction, the original having been bombed along with the convent next door to it.

    The Flying Standard

    I know you were only joking but Timothy Whites famously 'merged' with near-identical Boots in 1968 then disappeared almost overnight as a separate brand name.

    Even in Timothy Whites days it was sublet to a number of other businesses:

    The Flying Standard

    It was in The Bull Ring, just below Butcher Row before both were redeveloped as Trinity Street. So pretty much in exactly the same place as The Flying Standard is now.

    Things that annoy you

    And also you have to scroll through most of the letters of the alphabet before you finally get to countries beginning with the letter "U".

    The Flying Standard

    New Labour Leader

    Somewhere between 42,600 and 66,000 citizens of the Irish Free State also served in British armed forces in WW2 so your point is irrelevant. It would probably have been a lot more if Britain had not still occupied part of Ireland which soured relations between the two countries. And by the way...
