Croydon is often the pinnacle of urban grimness, even the Greggs has a military grade bouncer, but now sports my favourite sign of civilised society: a beautiful fully restored public water fountain

Stafford town centre. Vile 1980s disaster of a shopping centre that ripped the heart out of the old St John's market. Consigned to the bin of history Only the previously preserved Methodist tower remains Good riddance @Staffordbc

The worst consequences of these insane policies are always suffered by those with less power, money and status. Searle and Bumba aren't stripping off or dealing with menstrual issues with Upton present, but pride themselves on the fact that they forced other women to do so.

On the visible site of Canovium Roman Fort overlooking the Conwy River stands St Mary's Caerhun. Her watchful ancient yews have fed on the tears, bones, and blood of the stubbornly occupied graves for at least 1,200 years. Wary of the trees' poison, I place a hand on the bark
