    [Help] Gardeners Question Time.

    There is no cure unfortunately. There's various chemicals that you could try, but I wouldn't waste the money. They'll never be the same again. If they've had it, dig out and replace with dwarf holly, dwarf Euonymus, Photinia "Little Red Robin", or other short growing evergreen. Just seen a...

    [Albion] Valentín Barco **Signed 20/01/24**

    In the nicest possible way, we've named him The Ginger Flea! Magnificent when he came on this evening.

    [Albion] Old Argus Photos

    I had a huge cardboard box full of all sorts of Albion stuff, including newspaper cuttings, protest posters, virtually anything to do with Brighton. Having just gone through the "Swedish Death Cleaning" process, I gave everything to my Grandson, aged 10, who is also a Season Ticket holder. I...

    Heard this on Alpha Boys School Radio. Now listening to whole album on my streaming service. Vin Gordon plays a mean trombone!

    [Brighton] Old Brighton Postcard

    I don't think so. I believe Kemptown goods yard was mainly used for coal in my day.

    [Brighton] Old Brighton Postcard

    I've probably said this before, but I've walked over that viaduct around 1970. The trains had stopped by then! We walked from Kemptown goods yard, through the tunnel, across the viaduct, and turned back when we actually saw trains!!

    I thought our fish puns were good, but these bread ones are possibly better? Keep them rolling in.

    [Music] What Is Your Main Source For Listening To Music At Home?

    I stream my music in to my hi-fi separates system. I used to use the Tidal streaming service, but whilst upgrading my amp and streamer recently, the men in the audio shop said that Qobuz was much better. You get a free month's trial, so I gave it a go. I've not looked back. CD quality or...

    Again, I'll let Jevs respond, but when I was involved with the Rock Garden, and I've been retired 8 years now, the terrapins were there then. I seem to remember consulting an expert, and carrying out a risk assessment, and it was deemed that they were quite OK to live there. As they're still...

    I'll let Jevs reply in more detail, but I'm sure he wouldn't want anybody to get them removed. They've been there for years, and people come specially to see them.
