Better put something on here, I suppose.
I bought an Evening Post today. It's gone up to 40p. There were a few stories in it worth repeating:
An Easton man (Battersea Road) has been remanded in custody for two weeks on a charge of possessing Cane toad venom with intent to supply. The venom contains a substance called bufotenine and is a Class A drug.
Bus group take to the streets.
The bus protest group has built up a head of steam since its inception a few weeks ago. They held a protest in the Centre on Friday and are planning a "50p Day" protest, where people will get on the bus and just offer to pay 50p.
Good luck to them; First are just taking the mickey.
Five Post offices to close in East Bristol
Includes our local one at Bellevue Road (but the shop will still be open). What a shame. It's really handy for me, and anyone else living in Greenbank, come to that. It will be replaced by a big Post Office on Stapleton Road selling very large stamps. All in the name of making more money. This area now has very few facilities or workplaces. It does have people selling toad venom though, so that's something.

I spent this weekend in Manchester. They have a number of competing bus companies. For £2 - I could get weekly pass to use on that bus company anywhere including all through the night.
The contrast with bristol is enormous.(Though it was a pain having to wait for a Magic Bus)
They have a better class of loony on the buses in Manchester (read about it in Up From the Spar)
