Has anyone got any ideas regarding new threads,it seems we are getting stuck on the same topics    each time we post-surely someone must be able to come up with something--whether it be for instance a Film Quiz,Travel Topic,there must be something we can think of to keep the forums going.

We also need to get more people into the James. At best there is only a very slack handful of us. Have to get my thinking cap on while I'm away. A few more discussion topics like we had recently wouldn't go amiss

Thanks for the response Dave,i agree with you we need a few more interesting topics and it is up to us posters to provide these topics.          do you ever trawl any sites to get ideas?  i do --i think if we try this then   we may get a few more members posting.Frown

It would be really nice if more people did join in the forums and started new threads - I think I have exhausted all my ideas.  

Except I wondered whether it would be worth starting one for "My favourite holiday spot" or "Best Day Trips" where people could share their experiences and thoughts on different places in England they have enjoyed visiting.

  This may mean more work for C&S but random pics appear on every page we go to  and on some pages the latest pics show, could the forums being displayed possibly encourage a few more faces to have a peek and then join in?

Something along those lines might catch on because everyone has favourite places to visit for a day. Have to see what we can do to get it started. probably won't have much time next week unless it rains but as indicated elsewhere I want to ressurect my Lakeland travelogue as that seemed well received last year.

Vince I'm not entirely sure what you mean, what am I missing?

Thanks James for trying to encourage more into the forum, it certainly would be helpful to all concerned, but for my part know that every new member gets an email from me explaining what is available from within POE - so I agree it is a little surprising that more don't join in.

But you know what? According to one database constantly analyzing websites POE and the POE pages being viewed are actually nearly 4 times more popular than the official England website!

Also POE is ranked higher in both the UK and the Worldwide figures, so it is very surprising. Anyway thinking caps on eh?

I've got one that will be made public soon about the scumbag of a warden who has informed residents yet again, that they can only put one black bin liner full of rubbish in the site skip per fortnight (due to cost) and that they will install cctv to monitor the skip and the activity around it. Monitor a skip? Pathetic, and what about the cost of the cctv installation?

I know this isn't the purpose of this particular thread, but could you fill a black bin liner with rubbish, grass cuttings, rose bush trimmings (with thorns etc) and then lift it? The point being it would be heavy for the average person let alone retired persons with ill health, and would surely tear in any case. So in reality it is more likely to be a third of a black bin liner due to the fact that it cannot be lifted without it tearing, that is if the person concerned could lift it in the first place.

This scumbag and the site owners have to be dealt with!
