Didcot is a complete shit hole

Very true.

Quoted from 26

But I don't like Didcot. I really like Wantage though.

I doubt if anyone actually likes Didcot, it's just very convenient.  Wantage is indeed much nicer, just a shame that the cinema there got closed down for lack of disabled access.

Sorry, my great Aunt and her husband moved to Didcot 20 years ago and wouldn't live anywhere else.  Yes, they like it and the people arond them.  Apparently no pretension, live and let live.  They came from Winchester, where they'd been for some 40 years previously.  

I believe the cinema is opening on 6th November.
The advertising company have have spoken to me and have confirmed that this is the target date.

Driving by today, it looks as if we might, not before time, soon get our two way road back. The pavement people were laying kerbstones which is promising.

Are we going to see an advert for the 'Brian Newman driving instruction experience' on the big screen as we wait for the feature film to start. Would that come before or after 'Bugs Bunny'.

It's the Gala Launch date, they may open before that date if the premises is ready

Anyone who goes to watch "Bugs Bunny" would probably be too imature to drive, so it would be a waste of money advertising at the childrens matinee.

At least another 4 to 6 weeks before that happens. Once the road reopens to East bound traffic, the traffic jams will return to the Wharf once again.

Just to cheer everyone up, the gas board will be digging up Cheap Street and Kings Road West to install a new gas main and renew feeds into the shops for eight weeks from September 21st.

Yes but, at least, Brian will be happier

On the other hand, the queues south of the Sainsbury's roundabout should reduce.

The £100,000 a year from the ratepayers should soften the blow though.

Hardly, anyway that was for the cinema not the restaurants
