Village Idiot Support Group
Wed, 11 Jun 2008 03:19:32 -0700 (PDT)

Police day trip to Boulogne
Wed, 11 Jun 2008 10:05:55 +0100

Boris' deputy Mayor for local govt and one time leader of Bexley
Council, cut swathes of essential services in Bexley. Meals on Wheels

Pick up your old copy of "Alternative London", 6th edition, edited by
Georganne Downes, 1982.
Look at the back of the title-page. Fourth in the "with contributions
