Tickle casts his vote

Not really but it was nice that the people at the voting station allowed him in. He was well behaved too!

He would vote for anyone who feeds him!


SW Trains bridge of sighs

If you catch the 16.35 from Waterloo to Reading then expect to get stopped for at least 5 frustrating minutes outside Wokingham station while a GWR train gets priority.

When will SW Trains get priority please, just once a week would be a start.

Here is the view I get every single weeknight!


Are you sure Shell?

Used to get my fuel from Shell along the London Road but after these numerous and obnoxious notices I am reconsidering my custom.

If I can't pop in for some milk or a coffee without fear of a hefty fine then I think I will get my fuel from BP now!

Pole axed

 This pole although clearly vandalised seems to have had its day.

Having paid a whopping 4.6% increase on my council tax this year (over twice the rate of inflation) can we expect service at twice the speed?

Looking forward to the new pole by the end of June 2017 @wokinghambc

Not fine with me!

If you are caught driving your car whilst using your mobile phone the fine is £200.

However if you let your dog foul the footpath then the fine is £2500!

So when you are doing something that could potentially kill somebody the fine is £200 but if your dog fouls the footpath where presumably you will not kill anybody the fine is 10 times as much?

We always clear up our dogs mess and take it home with us or put in the bins provided.

But come on @wokinghambc haven't you really gone way too far over the top (yet again) this time?

Meadow memories


Take a look at this picture isn't it beautiful?

But this is the last time you will see it like this as @wokinghambc has given planning permission for some unwanted new box like homes. At Warren House Road.

So make the most of 2017 and its fast disappearing rural views around Wokingham. We will not be able to enjoy the views our ancestors clearly did.

And they call this progress?

Tracks of my fears

It has started up at Warren House Road. The beautiful meadow is now about to be bulldozed into our memories. It is now the first week in June 2017, and what all of our predecessors could enjoy will be covered over with little boxes which no one seems to want.

Thanks for nothing @wokinghambc
