My local hills. Love 'em. I'm very lucky to be able to walk straight from my house onto the Breiddens. Love the gypsy monument on Moel y Golfa

We did make nitro glycerine, a small amount. Put it into a test tube and a mate threw it at his own porch. Luckily it didn't work as we were standing a good safe distance away (4 feet)

The incident between their No. 13 and Hoole happened almost in front of me. But (much like the referee) I missed it as I was ball watching. However I was quickly on my feet, a human torch of incandescent moral outrage, demanding righteous justice.

I thought Creepy Crawley edged it in terms of performance, but good fighting attitude from Salop again. And I'll take any win in any style right now*

Yes, against Shropshire County Council. It broke my wheel and burst the tyre. I did what you seem to be doing - taking evidence. Sent copy of garage bill along with photos and What3Words location. I received a cheque for £500+ a couple of weeks later. No covering letter mind you, just a cheque!
