What’s it called?

We will have to agree to disagree then πŸ˜„

If you think by β€œcancelled” I
meant they would never happen it’s a bit of a leap. Perhaps I should have gone with postponed.

So cancelling council elections to save money does what exactly.

β€œStates” in the context of say jersey is the background to that (which is why I’m not sure what it means here). So operated by local militia or similar rather than army. Next time I go up I will follow the arrow to see if I can find the third stone in the line.

So with the war department clue I think the 2 means this is the second in a line of stones, the arrow just denotes a boundary and the S stood for β€œStates” which would suggest the battery was manned by a local militia rather than the army (but could be wrong and don’t know if that’s likely)

Thanks. I will let you know if we work out what S2 and the arrow means.

Anyone know what this means. It’s on Tennyson Down #isleofwight and I was facing north when I took the picture. WDS2 with arrow that doesn’t quite go north.

Can you guys post a story about a major planning development that’s been approved. Seems a bit one way traffic at the moment πŸ˜‚

Yeah let’s not have any houses at all

I’ve watched too much TV. I was expecting a large fish to eat the sloth at any moment.

As I understand that they are cancelling our elections I don’t really feel that I should have to pay any council tax πŸ˜„.

I assumed that this had been compulsory reading for local government officials for some time.

So they do something other than paint white lines and arrows? Who knew πŸ˜‚

Dropping a hammer on the starter motor of my fiat to β€œloosen” it up enough to turn. Had a special hammer and everything πŸ˜„

Somehow the fast cat just isn’t as sexy as the hover, but it is quieter and very smooth. Technical issues so had to swap craft tonight #isleofwight #hovertravel #wightlink

Not sure what point there is putting it in strategy if unworkable. Just makes things worse. Given permissions are running below targets what is the main hurdle? Does the island need 5000 new homes in next 5 years? There are less than 500 households in temp accommodation on island and no work??

Oops. Steps to beach torn off in storms. Amazing power of the sea.

2. 40% affordable discount idea is probably unworkable. Building costs on island higher than mainland so if you want 40% on 35% of the houses you make it uneconomic and end up with no houses. Perhaps that’s the intent? Tough job of course.

Interesting insight into the planning process. That said the interviewer failed to ask a difficult question and OB seems unfamiliar with the reality of dealing with his dept which most people I know find v frustrating.
