    The understanding that there might actually be bigger issues in this world to concern us than a certain cafe using a little bit more of the pavement than most
    I'm stopping there to await the flow of accusations of woolly headed middle class lefty out of tune new age Felix named child bearing nonsense which this will ignite. Off to take shelter in my eco friendly organic hugely overpriced terrace. That aside I think the Town is quite beautiful and I feel priveledged to live here even after running down my surbuban road in my pjs after a couple of traffic wardens who had just ticketed my 76 year old Dad and sister 9am Bank Holiday Monday
