Good morning everyone

Bright rather than sunny here at present.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning Buddies

An overcast day here, just a very gentle breeze

Enjoy your day everyone

I think this will be causing chaos over the next couple of weeks, my doctors surgery is in that road and the local church can be seen on the right:

Will it be a nuisance for you El?

The article doesn't say what caused it...any ideas?

Although it will cause me a bit of a nuisance, it won't be as bad for me as for a lot of people such as for parents dropping off/picking up their children from school.

I think the sinkhole is at a road gully grating (road drain cover) so that would seem to have collapsed

Maybe a few children will get some excercise for a change El

Well, I hope it doesn't hinder you too much

I remember there being a sinkhole on the Mancunian Way...it caused no end of delays to the traffic and took weeks to be fixed

Thanks Slim, it just means that I'll need to go a different route when going shopping for instance

We seem to be getting a lot of those sinkholes of late in this country

There's a road very close to where I live which crosses the city boundary. The part of the road within the city was resurfaced not that long ago. The rest of the road wasn't and is now in a rather poor condition

No, Moonie, it's not

According to the local news website, the sinkhole is a lot larger than the photo on the BBC site indicates - it's about 5 metres in diameter

Good morning Buddies

Its turned into a nice sunny day after a cold cloudy start

Enjoy your day everyone

Like using a sticking plaster to cure a broken leg huh

I wonder sometimes at those that make the decisions, as to whether they do it on purpose knowing that at some point their services will be needed again

Just spotted a 1972 film called "Tomorrow" on Talking Pictures this afternoon at 3pm.
Robert Duvall as lonely farmer who takes in a pregnant woman and looks after her. After she gives birth, tragedy strikes.

Reviews are good. Screenplay by Horton Foote who previously did "To Kill a Mockingbird". Based on a book by William Faulkner.
Unusually for a 1970s film is in black and white and was given a PG certificate in the States. Doesn't appear to have been released in the UK.

Good luck with that El

Have you still got road closures by you?

Thanks Moonie

The road closure due to the sink hole is expected to remain closed until at least 5 June.
It's possible that one can drive down on one side of the road but the road is generally so packed with parked cars that it would be best to go a different route

That’s bad news El…sounds like a different route is the best option then

Good morning Buddies

Its started off overcast here but the sun has arrived, for now

Have a nice day everyone

A couple of things to mention about the first episode of the second series of "Sister Boniface Mysteries" on the Drama channel tomorrow evening.

Firstly, one of the characters (not a regular) is an editor called Dinah Morgan. She's played by Abigail Thaw who anyone who watched "Endeavour" will recognise her as the editor Dorothea Frazil.

Secondly, the episode takes place in the fictional place "Great Slaughter".
Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter are villages in the Stow-on-the-Wold area. The word Slaughter comes from the Old English word "slohtre" meaning "wet land".
