The revamp since the factory came down has made the town centre alot better but quite honestly its a bit of shithole in places. We still have a 60/70s shopping precinct which is absolutely dire. Luckily I live in psoh area of town, obviously bringing the tone of the area down somewhat by just being there. ;D I remember it being sort of Cotswoldy, with the golden stone and all that?  Maybe my memories are confused with Chippenham or Devises or one of the other smallish, nice-in-parts towns round there? Hehe! ;D We have a big Silver head in the centre of town and a statue of some pigs as a reminder of Harris's but no golden stone not sure where that is fella. |

Now if I could be faffed I would go and take a pic of the home of Saltash United, but I am sure that people will cope without it. Mind you after seeing some of them training the other evening, I think that when the boys are away, I could happily stand there for 90 mins!!!  Is that the team with Steve Vaux in goal? I have no idea!!! See I am so up on the local footie team its unbelievable!!! They are a pretty good side though from the results that I have seen in the paper and stuff |

Cant find a picture of my house the web just this little reference: Adam House (no. 13) has a 17th-century rear wing and a front range of c. 1750 with a Palladian five-bayed faôade. Not much but its what I call "home". ;D |

The bloke who does the books on the Antque roadshow lives across the road and hes a nice bloke but his wife is far up her own arse its unreal. I don't think she has said more than 10 words to me in the 2 and half years we have been there. |
