Hi Merlin,
As a contributor, known on another aspect as " Geriatric ",
I agree with ALL of your comments. Unfortunately my technology was " cats whisker " Do not understand how, or what to do to improve, but will stick with it and contribute what I can.
To all our readers, here is something I wrote some years ago. It was appropriate then, are they still appropriate now ?
TETBURY, THE PLACE TO BE
Tetbury proud, or so they say.
Once noted for wool, beer cattle, hay,
No longer the home of sons of toil,
Tetbury has now gone very Royal.
A busy place is Long Street,
Once kept tidy and so neat,
If now is progress, oh what a lark !
Have you been out lately in the dark ?
A long time bakery, once owned by John,
With old time bakers, now long time gone.
Products are still good, I trust,
Are they still eaten by the upper crust ?
Fox, Plough, Eight Bells, Drum,
Once meeting places for all to come.
Pubs were once so many,
Where does one go now, to spend a penny?
Spire so tall above the rock,
Now sports a gleaming gold weather-thingy.
November Guy Fawkes' bonfires near and far,
Now all year round, it's sopmeones car.
Your bosses, now in Cirencester be,
They care not a jot, tis' plain to see.
Little parking, yellow lines abound, oh what a lark.
It costs a fortune, for short time to park.
Tetbury I left, since many a year,
But in my heart, still hold it dear.
Floreat Tetburia, was once the shout,
Still a great place to live, or is there doubt.

Have slightly amended a couple of lines in the event of any one having come across the original. Back then signed " Anon " and finished :- Talented tabulating, terribly tired, tittilated, temporarilytongue tied, taciturn Tetbury Toad. Trying to tactfully tip toe through this tangled typewritten, tendentious twaddle, taunting technocracy. Had no reponse, but hopefully this time
Cliff.
