    Absolutely disgusting to see freds house sold to anyone rather than turn it into a listed property, it should be a museum, now it's empty and these folks have sold everything, now some wealthy immigrant could buy it, and already had done, what a shame.

    When the winds trying to snap the ladder off sideways, it can be quite exciting!!! No Fred, no - that's shit scary is what that is. It's unreal to think this wasn't actually that long ago! The hard workers like Fred are still about, just have far more red tape in place these days to do the job - as an office mug I don't profess to be one, but certainly admire them!

    Mr W.S. was still on the other realms of Earth into the 1950s. The yoga Master Sir George King was overshadowed by him at least once. It was on one of these occasions that William stated "I acted in the plays and produced some of them, but I never wrote them". The term 'supernatural' should be removed from our dictionaries as everything in the universe happens within the laws of nature. Paranormal things may be, but NOT supernatural.
