  • Spring is on the way

    I know it's hard to believe based on the current weather, but in a few short months we'll be basking in the beautiful springtime weather of eastern England. I know what you're thinking, "spring is too far away, and I can't even think about it right now." Well, I'd like to take you away to thoughts

  • Action Line: Poor visibility at the Strike Eagle Complex

    COMPLAINT:When driving into work in the morning I have to drive past the Strike Eagle Complex on my way to the Flight line.

  • Action Line: Cold weather gear

Then, after you decided on the type of car, you spent a lot of time figuring out what options were right for your car. After you had the car

  • Action Line: More cash registers when paying for gas

    COMPLAINT:I am probably not the first person to pose these questions. I was wondering if there are any plans to add any other cash registers to accommodate more than one person paying for gas at a time. It seems that when the 15 or so gas pumps were installed, provisions would have included more

  • British Billy goes to the pantomime

    As holiday traditions go, there is little that makes me feel more festive than a good old traditional pantomime, or 'panto'.
