Hey, I've been to Gloucestershire to be fair, it's a pretty small town. Maybe blueberries is serious business over there?

Gloucestershire is the county, Gloucester is the town, population about 125,000.

I didn't know they grew blueberries there. The ones in my local supermarket usually come from Poland.

Nothing very unusual or funny here but I post it as a nice local story.

Henley pub landlords marry

The landlord of the Old Bell in Bell Street, Henley on Thames, married his business partner whom he met when she started drinking there to make friends and eventually offered him a drink.



The wedding party was transported by several vintage sports cars, had a reception at Leander Club (now featuring strongly in Olympic Rowing) and a river cruise.

Heart-warming stuff and I shall try to pop into the Old Bell more often in future. Though with seven other pubs within three minutes walk there is plenty of competition!

Could Alan Shearer stop proposed work on the Blue House roundabout?

Of course we'll never truly know as such information ...


So, Alan Shearer could kick into touch plans for a major transport scheme in Newcastle?
No. He’s an Honorary Freeman of Newcastle. As it’s an honorary title, it doesn’t given him a say on stuff like this.

I'm just really impressed it wasn't my home town for once. But then again, if it was, it wouldn't make the news, as that sort of thing is pretty much a daily occurrence. Including the gran at 38 part...

It is worth mentioning at least, the article is from 2013.
