Argh that would be just past Cinder Avenue. If you miss that turning you can carry on to Ash Way and turn onto Backfill Lane. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Now you see this is pure and unadulterated Sheddenisum. You wait till that nice Mr Starmer finds out what's been going on. He'll make certain we deprived folk get allocated a shed and what's more he'll tax those who blatantly show off there over sized sheds. Just you wait. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the layout plus walkway round it only takes up about 27% of the floorspace. Does that get me on the list. And there are now two layouts in there as Lancaster Road is alongside it. I had three extra operators last Wednesday. Jamie 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody looks a little peeved that she's been gazumped. Definitely going to need a bigger shed. 2 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may recall that a friend of Sherry's son was involved in the Southport murder tragedy - his daughter being a victim, although she survived. I know not what scars, mental and physical she will carry with her for life, but today her family is invited to the Town Hall, where there will be a general address from and then a personal chat, each family, with the King. I cannot imagine how a monarch could do more. 4 8 3 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you of all people should know that we no longer 'bury' that's very un PC. Instead we 'lay them to rest' or if we are in hostile territory we 'intern them'. You have to be dead on in the funerary world. 1 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if you've not got the space isn't. 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
