The whole thing stands as a sign that there's nothing we can do about anything anymore as far as I'm concerned. I get that there's more than an element of nimbyism to my personal interest here, but generally, FFS's all round. All thanks to the criminal enterprise going under the name of Natural Resources Wales. Want to build an incinerator in the middle of a town but worried about not getting an emissions license? NRW! Want to make £11Million profit by awarding timber and forestry contracts without the petty admin of tenders? NRW! Want to dump 300,000 tonnes of mud from Hinckley a mile off Penarth Pier? NRW! People should be going to prison, not promising to learn from their mistakes. It's not nimbyism, it's realising this system needs a shock to the gonads and new people in charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I feel it will just soon be time for another rebrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I'm sure Tamworth is the most obese town in the UK, or was once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2018 Don’t think I’ve ventured into Tamworth before. Don’t think I’ll rush over there based on the recent posts. The other day I was in Lichfield for the first time since I was a kid, probably the closest I’ve been to Tamworth. Lichfield’s nice anyway.

One of the reasons I went there was to see what the pubs are like. We’re doing a pub crawl there towards the end of the year and I wanted to have an idea of where we should go. I’ll be reporting back my findings in the pub guide thread after the night in question Yeah I agree about living there. I probably wouldn’t live in a town/city but if I did, Lichfield is the sort of size place I could manage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
