Serving in the army in Northern Ireland in the 80s attached to an infantry regiment, the Boss used to start every brief by listing the various incidents/deaths that had happened. At the end of it he'd always say, "Still, could be worse, we could be in Basingstoke". I assume he came from there.

As is the Falafel stall.

I love Stroud, I have lived here for nigh-on half a century, except for a brief spell at University and 8 years in Zurich (where I had a free apartment). So another tagline could be "Stroud - better than Zurich (according to Gaspode)" smile

Bristol - dont come by car, we've dug all the roads up, and those we haven't are bus lanes or controlled parking zones.

Portsmouth. Close enough to Southampton to smell it. wink
Sorry, that "weird" smell is called soap. We use it to clean stuff. Perhaps one day we'll send some over to you.
