BBC Staffer, Ex-Met Police, long suffering fan of Coventry City FC. Love rugby and cricket too (The Hundred isn't cricket btw). Huge fan of 2-Tone. Residing in Cornwall. Diagnosed with Myeloma in 2022 and living life to the full whilst I still can.

It hasn’t become my go-to site yet but it’s a lot calmer than X with way less weirdoes and nut jobs. I had a look there earlier - still too many angry people arguing with themselves over nothing. Life is too short for such nonsense 😁
