RE: Yesterday's house hunt

Hey, difficult thing isn't it? Do you wait for "the crash that might never happen" or just get on and buy a house. I think the whole market is getting a bit nervy, even houses in Fareham are selling slowly. Interesting to see what's going to happe...

Heavy snow both ends

Just back from the parents, we had heavy snow there at 8am this morning that settled, probably 3 or 4 inches deep in an hour, very nice to see but a bit terrifying, we thought it was there for the duration and we'd not be able to get back to Folkesto...

Fareham plays its part in the war on tourism

A local story that was doing the rounds yesterday about a couple being banned from Fareham shopping centre for life (for taking photos of their grandchildren) was picked up by Boing Boing. Apparently the guard who threw them out said they posed a ter...

I got a ticketmaster email today to tell me John Barrowman is playing Portsmouth Guildhall... doing what? Acting out scenes from Doctor Who, or a medley of songs from his West End showdays? Intriguing, I might go if it was local. And if it wasn �27. ...

The sister-in-law's waters have just broken

That's pretty bad... WHAT is the point of the cameras then? Surely even if they catch the guy they can't use that as evidence? It could be anyone.

He looks guilty.....

Fareham police seek man with no face
