Re: Show me yours.
There's not much point in putting on any piccy's of Wapping, because it's just like Church. There is a river, a canal and a bloody great print works. There are more traffic lights in Church, but more cobble stones in Wapping - as one member of the Accy Web found to her cost. Oh, the beer is more expensive down here - but you can at least get a pint of real ale, which you can't in Church, since the Stag shut.

Stop tell whoppers about Wapping, it isn't just the same as Church, you can go beachcombing there.

By the way Immanuel is still a place of burials, and is one of the few remaining places where you can purchase a plot with great views over the moors.

Re: Show me yours.
This is a project that is underway in our city.

Check out the Photo Gallery and Around the riverwalk.
Maybe some ideas for Ossy.

Not just your's, but all the links I find fascinating.
I always in my mind's eye pictured you in a house like Mrs Madrigal's from Tales of the City. Now I know you'll be more likely to be polishing your sherrif's badge.
Yih ha.

. As of November 2006, Oakland had 132 murders, with the majority of victims and/or murderers from an African American background and the average age being 28 years old. [14] The murder rate increased 21% from only 94 murders in 2005, compared to 88 murders in 2004 being the lowest number down from 108 killings in 2003. The past few years into the millennium saw the lowest amount of murders, compared to the 1990's when there were known to be an average of 160 murders in Oakland each year. [15] The majority of the crimes being committed occur in the East and West parts of the city.
maybe you only visited the nice parts , we had one more last night a 15yr old lad , it's an epidemic ,populationwise we are losing more people per head of population than Baghdad or Kabul and the Govt don't give a shi*
