Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Juice?

Do you mean the double "I've looked on Google Street View ...."? When I edited it before clicking Submit, Fetch did something weird and duplicated most of the text and mixed it up. I thought I'd corrected it all, but apparently not.

Nothing interesting on the sign, Flatlander. Council contact information: phone, web and SMS. (I just zoomed in a lot.)

Thanks Dv.
I'm building up a list of places to contact for further information - Islington Gazette, Archway Library, IWM, etc. I've already found a few eye witness accounts on the internet, and an interactive map which depicts V2 strike sites which includes "my" one.

This could turn into a long and hopefully interesting search.

57.5 Degrees of Pain
We had a bomb crater in my home town (spare bombs offloaded after the massive attacks on Clydebank), a favourite playground until fenced off in the mid-70s. At the same time a lot of shrubbery was planted so it would be difficult to get far in there now whether you wanted to or not.

We then moved our playground to the old mine tailings, and the especially exciting 'burning bing'.

Just scraped another 85%er tonight although I was 3/100ths slower than a fortnight ago. Boo (glum face)

However, I did get a great pic with CJ Ujah ...obviously the fastest sprinter there tonight! He's a mere 41 years younger than me and he said 'Respect for still doing it!'

Definitely respect but didn’t you tell him you’ve only been sprinting for 7 years? ;-) I have huge respect for you doing all your various training and various events. I wish I was as committed to training and not just running.
