Dominoes on island roads
Dominos?? That’s in Ryde down the high street . Bloody expensive though
You can say that again.
Pizza Express from Tesco is good enough for me
much cheaper.
20mph is plenty
Is it? It is really? Just take a minute matey. Now imagine getting from Ryde to that big new Asda at 20 kilometres an hour!! Madness! I’d need to take a week off work to do me weekly shop!!!! Nonsense utter nonsense
It works on the mainland, much safer.
You can get Asda to deliver your shopping.
Was it really necessary to tie up quite so many officers and vehicles for one shunt? We keep being told how stretched resources are but one cannot help but wonder about the effectiveness of deployment.
Agree, totally
