My vote for the most uninteresting post in the five years of this site (if you have any other contenders I really don’t want to hear about them!). And they’ve moved since I took this shot anyway!

LOL, you’re right. I can’t find any other contenders….
I shall take that as a compliment Chris! Lol! I might post a chalk and cheese British Legion post later tonight. You’ll see what I mean.
Uninteresting? You narcistic arse. People lost their jobs and many veterans lost the one place they could meet up and chat.
Which makes this particular empty-at-the-time building of any more interest? I don’t really think so, but each to their own. Buildings are buildings. People are people. Not the same thing at all, I think you’ll find. I was sorry to see the Legion go, of course. Try these instead:
