I am guessing if you can be prosecuted in Derbyshire for chucking a snowball at a policeman you can be prosecuted for touching a horrible Christmas tree created using empty champagne bottles.

Thats reminds Leicester and Rutland Police will you please review the town centre CCTV only the day young people were throwing snow balls at people in the high street! most shocking arrest them. Only joking!

London Kings Cross Station photographs

Each time I visit London work is going to improve things.London Kings Cross has had many make overs, work still goes on with a major renovation project, Sadly some changes have not pleased some local like removal The platform 8 clock, mounted on the footbridge. I read the clock and footbridge was sent into storage in Cambridge because no one wanted it.


Maybe it could be used here in Oakham to replace the ugly railway bridge in town, I don't think I will receive any violent threats for calling the bridge ugly?


The old footbridge is to be replaced with a modern glass construction with lifts.

New retail units are opening this is the relocated Burger King, W H Smiith's has shrunk and Boots has gone.


Harry Potters Platform 9 3/4 has moved again, this time the wall is fake but this does not stop the tourists gathering to take photographs.

The platform actually used for filming at King's Cross Station in the movies is Platform 4. Hagrid and Harry are also filmed walking over the pedestrian bridge across the tracks.



 One of the new entrances to Kings Cross Underground Station, this area used to be an area used by London Cab drivers for refreshments and servicing of cabs. Most of the small dark cobbled streets often used as film locations in the past have now gone. A few old buildings remain.

Threat to my safety because I Blog!

Whilst I was in London today, I received a telephone call from a Leicester Number, The gentleman caller was very threatening and I was shocked.

The intimidation by some  local people is unacceptable.

The caller did not withhold their number and it looks like they were using a fax line in the Leicester area.
01162 540 193
I was very impressed with the Metropolitan Police, they take these kind of threats very seriously and called me twice when they realised the serious nature of the call they offered to come and see me.

Leicestershire Police will be visiting me Thursday! Not very impressive but then I have come to expect this from Leicestershire and Rutland Police.

I am hoping they will trace the person 

Malicious or abusive phone calls are a criminal offence, under section 43 of the Telecommunications Act, 1984,. Alternatively, The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 covers many forms of harassment involving persistent contact that causes distress.
