    A friend of ours, who works for a London borough, says that their Councillors have instructed the council to do a revue of all statues and all buildings and street names to see whether they may be connected to anyone who has been involved in anything that wasn't squeaky clean.

    The response was to the effect of 'we are already running at a loss because revenue streams are drying up and to follow your request would take about six months for five people - some of which would have to be historians'. The idea has been dropped for now. :whistle: :heehee:

    Is your street name safe? :hate-shocked:

      We don't have a street name, but we went for a morning walk down the road (haven't walked down the road because it's been to dangerous to walk) and my first thoughts were "my god this place have got shabby" people don't care no more and I mean don't care, it's a shame:sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad:

        Oh oh, now that makes sense about how your street name reflects on you. Sometimes when my hair goes all frizzy I look like :yikes::yikes::yikes:

          My street name should be safe, it's named after a place, a place in England so could be on dodgy ground. :biggrin:
          But we had some blocks of flats built in the early 60s that had common wealth names up until a few years ago before they were demolished.
          They had names like Durban hse. Madras hse. Bombay hse. Calcutta hse. Etc.
          I'm guessing they wouldn't have been right either :roflol:

            I take a bet they didn't look like any of the houses I've seen in all those places. :heehee:

              Is your surname safe? I wonder how many will consider changing?

                    Lord Nelson - or Nelson Mandela. :scratch:

                    Mrs Shiney met Nelson Mandela in 1996 on his first visit to England as he came to see her boss (she was his P.A.). He stopped and chatted to her.

                    She didn't meet Lord Nelson. :heehee:

                        Not very often I'm on this thread, In fact this could be a first.... but....

                        When someone asks you a question on a thread and you answer them but they just can't be bothered to acknowledge you.
                        Not necessarily meaning a written reply but even a " like " would have sufficed.
