Freeview Aerial Dubious Advertising
Posted by chris on: Wednesday 06 May @ 20:15:25 (Read: 250)
Other NewsI have just heard of a case of a local elderly lady being caught out by the need to buy a "digital aerial" for the upcoming switchover to Freeview, the new TV transmission system that is digital rather than analog.
Please note that there is no such thing as a "digital aerial" - whilst it *may* be necessary to have a newer/larger aerial to increase the signal level, until the analog signal is switched off, no one can predict how strong the digital signal will be.
The Anglia region will not switchover until 2011 and London is one of the last to change in 2012 - so there is no hurry to upgrade.
For more information on Freeview, please visit the official website.

Request from an Oak Bank School Vet
Posted by chris on: Friday 09 January @ 21:03:54 (Read: 398)
SocialKaren Longstaff, aka Karen Charlton, is trying to trace old friends of hers that went to oak bank school. She writes:

I am sure that many of your readers will remember the school as one they didn't want put on their own doorstep as we were not welcomed in to the village to start with. In this day and age I could understand it and their misgivings but whereelse were some of the poor kids to go. for me, this school was my lifeline to the normal outside life outside of my horrible, maladjusted homelife. I for one benefited so much from this school and even though I ended up in council care, I went on to get married and have three wonderful, now well brought up and loved, boys. I am now qualified as a teaching assistant amongst other things.

Good News in the fight against East Leighton Development
Posted by chris on: Thursday 02 October @ 10:05:40 (Read: 379)
Other NewsA front page article in Wednesday Oct 1st LB News brings good news in the fight against the proposed massive housing development to the East of Leighton Buzzard, which could see as many as 4400 new houses built. The article suggests one of the principle objections to the submitted application is its likely impact on the Leighton Buzzard NG railway. But if you read the Council's response in full, you will see that the objections are far more wide-ranging. Perhaps the powers-that-be are finally seeing sense that this proposal is completely unsuitable for our town?
