The Swaffham Crier Online

Editorial

For some twenty years after surpassing the age of legal driving, I wouldn't drive, on the grounds that cars were thoroughly nasty and disagreeable things. It was only when - being yet again transported by some obliging acquaintance to yet another otherwise unattainable destination - I realised I was jealous that I finally gave in. Is it possible that some Priorites feel the same way about COMPUTERS?? If so, NOW IS THE TIME to buy (Milton's World of Computers will not rip you off) and join our LOCAL COMMUNITY BROADBAND, because FINALLY, it's here! With your very own local support team to help (while they're still enthusiastic!).

And you can email the Crier straight-away (see our new email address) instead of all those Now-I'm-Cross- And-Definitely-Writing-To-The-Crier-About-This imaginary letters you never quite get round to sendingÉ.!

On which topic, we are anticipating a hot (but not, we hope, cross) Bonfire Debate (see Letters) and for which we have been promised at least one amusing snippet from SP Great Bonfire Debates Past. Meanwhile, there's some wonderful memory-lane stuff in this month's edition. Can you remember Asbees' Shop? Or what about COCK-UP BRIDGE? (No. not you and partners customary play at the well-known card-game!) Read Joy Fuller's fascinating article concerning our old friend the Cock-Horse (and much more), and if you can remember, ring Joy - your support is needed. Oh, and a wooden horse has been spotted being wheeled into Dencora's field by suspicious-looking Mediterranean types (Not Gypsies! Not bikes... See Letters, Extraordinary Meetings, etc.)

Apologies to Church-goers unfairly maligned in last months Editorial, and to Paul Ward our new local Pest Control Expert whose advert is missing. And... we're off on our Hols! - see you in September (with a Crossword again! We promise!)
