Sparklykid in his post below says he’s having fish, chips and gravy for dinner today. I find the idea of gravy on fish very odd indeed but I have a friend who puts the oddest foods together. In that...
Anybody ever been to the Isle of Wight? What’s it like? What’s there to see/do? Mr Smow has a week off in December and he randomly suggested it but I know absolutely nothing about the place....

Not quite sure where to post this but wanted to make people aware. I had a call on my personal mobile where they used my used name not my full official name. They claimed to be from Customs and Excise...
