No, draught horses don't need Dawes, they need Holdsworth.

Ok, so it's not quite a draught horse. Actually, it looks a bit like a stripeless zebra with that mane.

There was a fleeting billboard during the past week for the Southend Echo:

FOOD BANK RUNS OUT OF FOOD.

To be fair I walked passed it yesterday without noticing (I didn't consciously look at it)

Billboard of the Blackmore Gazette last Monday:

"MISSING CAT RETURNS HOME AFTER 126 DAYS!"

Sadly, I didn't notice when I was in Blackmore a month ago whether the headline said "CAT MISSING FOR 98 DAYS AND COUNTING!"

The photo shows the shocking extent of football hooliganism after the Highworth Town/Tadcaster Albion game, with literally tens of fans involved.

By contrast, football hooliganism and associated violence have closed the road outside our house for a significant police operation. I reckon someone must have died for that sort of investigation. Fortunately Mrs. Wow and I are in Powys. Dez reported back. Our house is in one of the BBC pictures.

But, in typical pub-business fashion, a pub at the far end of what appears to be the London Tilbury & Southend Railway (bought out by the Midland, later grouped into the LMS) has a sign depicting a GWR loco  ::-):facepalm:

I get a daily email from Harrow Times, giving the local headlines.
This murder http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-32224295 occurred just over two miles south of where I am sitting.http://goo.gl/maps/3TWcw
There is no mention of this event.
