Bonkers bus route anger

Fleet News and Mail: Pensioners complain about new bus route

FACT: This was shot at the end of my road. The 30 degree angle is a bit of a problem when you're trying to walk the dogs, to be honest.

Bus cuts anger

Fleet News and Mail: Campaigner to take bus cuts protest to the very top

The worst thing about Fleet Buzz - and I'll tell you this as a local - is that they are rendered completely invisible in times of yellow snow, as I found out to my cost last winter.

Shopping delivery anger

Fleet News and Mail: Asda got our online shopping delivery wrong and we've waited two weeks for a refund. Also, they crashed into our car

1. CARPET SLIPPERS KLAXON

2. I love the fact that this story is more about getting casserole mix instead of stir fry mix than having their car totalled by the delivery driver.

Speed limits anger

Fleet News and Mail: Residents hacked off after council sneaks in 20mph zones without consultation

Yes, this is my home town. Lovely, long wide straight roads with a 20mph limit, so you get overtaken all the bloody time by people who don't give a damn. Nobody comes out well from this.

And note the half-hearted thumbs down in the background.

Council cock-up anger

Fleet News and Mail: Bungling workmen dig up community planting

I live near Odiham. There's a weird space/time shift that makes everything look like this. Once you're past the RAF base, everything's fine.

Allotment attack anger

Fleet News and Mail: People keep breaking into our allotment sheds

But why? Why do these mindless crooks keep coming back?

"...And on one occasion a gardener had his bottle of whisky taken after he left it in his hut overnight."

OK, stand down Sherlock Holmes, we shan't be needing him.

Fly-tipping anger

Fleet News and Mail: Local estate becomes fly-tippers' venue of choice

First appearance on these pages for my local paper, and I can tell you that this turn of events only came about after the council installed CCTV cameras at the previous fly-tipping/dogging site. Not that I knew it was a dogging site said too much.
