Be good to get that moving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 BBC points local news bulletin on at 06:25am on Friday showing the plaque being affixed to John's home at Dilton Marsh for Friday evenings unveiling. Should be on again at 06:55 07:25 08:25 and 08:55 Hoping their will be a bit more on the 13:30pm lunch time news and a LIVE report on the 18:30pm local news would be nice.

I assume and I could be wrong it’s because he played Association Football which got shortened to Soccer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redandproud Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Why have they painted Johnny Atyeo plaque BLUE, who's idea was that, surely it should have been Red, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 For those who caught points west lunchtime, you'll already know that this evening, there is a special feature on Alan Dicks who grows sunflowers. I'd have started a new thread, but didn't want to steal anyone's thunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched Points West for years, what a lucky chance the wife put it on tonight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are others, the majority of which are blue but your right there are green and black ones. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_blue_plaques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
