Row erupts in Southampton over Itchen Bridge being lit up in Pompey colours Civic leaders have been accused of ignoring safety advice over plans to install adaptable lights on the Itchen Bridge.

Of course the council caving in to one bloke moaning about lights on a bridge being the colours of a neighbouring city’s football team was only going to get stupider.

Council comment on public safety after another car 'stuck on sand' at beach Another car was seemingly stuck on the beach near Boscombe pier, with the council calling on the public to use the 'conveniently located' car parks.

Is it me, or does Cars Stuck On The Beach season start earlier every year?

Residents slam 'incompetent' council after getting dozens of the same letter Brighton and Hove residents have received multiple garden waste collection fee letters from the council, despite having paid the fee already.

Regret to report that those pencil-necked desk jockeys at the council are at it again, encouraging recycling by creating as much waste paper as possible.

B&B has soap stolen from toilets four times in as many months The Dial House in Reepham has been hit by soap thieves four times in as many months.

If a chap comes up to you in the pub and offers you posh soap at a ridiculously cheap price, that number again is nine hundred and ninety nine. Don’t have nightmares

We don’t do the Daily Mail, except in those very rare circumstances when they print something so ridiculous we just have to put it up here. And today is one of those days.

Why am I getting strong Jim out off of Friday Night Dinner vibes here? To be fair, he totally would be a driving instructor on Guernsey.
