Ossy Mills has this land up for sale ... I suspect that it will not sell is due to the contamination of spilt petrol over the years. Would cost quite a bit of money to put it back to normal.

Perhaps they should start doing public information films on tv again like they diid in the 70's.

'Charlie says............. always give way to the traffic from the right, use your indicators....... and never talk to strangers!'
You need to explain that to the dark chap in a Audi who passed my on the wrong side of the mini roundabout on Fielden lane and High street this afternoon. I was going round on the right side, which is clockwise and he just drove on the other side and away up Broadfield.

Think I have asked this question before, when the petrol station was shut down and Ossy Mills started using it for staff parking, were the underground tanks "de-gassed" and filled with cement slurry, or is every one round there sitting on a "time bomb", if the tanks are empty they will be full of "explosive gas"

Sad to say that there are a lot about, sat that low in the car seat clutching a mobile phone you can just about see them, they tend to go on the wrong side of traffic islands to overtake, or race through west end at 50+

I didn't call him that jaysay, but had to cool it a bit because my wife was sitting in the car.
What made it worse was that there was a horse and rider coming down towards us and a car was passing that not fifty yards away.

Dangerous animals on the roads, its time they were banned. No way anyone is making a horse do something it does not want to.
