Anybody ever been to a place called Bilston in the Midlands? Go there on market day and you'll see the ladies with rain hoods on. Also they are very aggressive! Get in there way and your in for the high jump. Makes the youth look like prefects.

Yes I've been to Bilston but try to avoid it where possible.

The lack of white dog poo is partly the result of people no longer getting bones for their dogs from the local butcher and partly because the poo is cleared up quicker, and therefore a symptom of the decaying state of the local high street / better quality sanitation.

So there!

Athena poster shops on the high street.

Apparently last ones with the brand closed in 2014, although original retailer folded in 1995.

I remember as a kid them being ubiquitous. Another internet casualty.

I assume there are still poster sales during university freshers week. Or else how do halls of residence get covered in posters? I'd hate to wait for an internet order, how else would I demonstrate my cool music tastes to the girls in that critical first week?
