I live in a small Norfolk village which has all the usual amenities. There is a village website with complete information about everything - Opening times of shop, post office, pub etc, how to book the village hall and so on. It contains links to all the relevant businesses and local clubs.
We also, needless to say, have a village Facebook group which seems mostly populated by idiots. Apart from the endless complaints about dog poo you can guarantee that someone will ask every single day - "when does the shop shut, is the Post Office open on Saturday, how do I book the village hall?" etc. etc. None of these people seem to know about Google and they think that Facebook is some kind of oracle. Even stranger is the fact that normally sensible people answer these cretins!
I thought I had seen it all but.......................
we also have a mainline railway station. It was shut during the Beeching era but eventually resurrected after a local campaign nearly 50 years ago. On May 5th there will be a small celebration about this as you can see from the following screenshot.
Please read the comment. Sometimes I wonder how the human race is still surviving! And yes, somebody did actually reply and tell her that it was at the railway station!
