Fred Dibhans House Receives Blue 'Civic Heritage' Plaque
Bush Tucker Man:
I've only just found out about this in the new issue of 'Old Glory'.
And not before time
I wonder if the Council will now pay for the planned statue of Fred?

If you didn't know the man, at least by reputation, that struggles to do him justice. I wonder if there will be a preservation order on his garden :wink:
