I take that personally - we passed that every time we went to my wife's grandparents' house in South Wigston, when we lived on the other side of Leicester. Long live the Pork Pie Roundabout!
There might be some point in renaming the Pork Pie Roundabout (if the name really is offensive to someone), but to call it the Vegan Pie Roundabout is just plain daft.
The Big Round Brick Library Roundabout would be more sensible...
Isn't "pork pie" a type of hat? Maybe call it "Flat Hat Roundabout".
Oh dear. This is wikipedia on what a pork pie is. It also explains the references to Melton Mowbray. The hat gets its name from looking like a pork pie.

Yes, and?
As is so often the case with such dishes, our experience with having twice eaten pork pie in Mowbray, it's something best avoided.

This has to do with the recent release of Bison back into the wild, and has nothing whatever to do (AFAIK) with the C of E or its locally-based Primate...

BBC earlier had "Charles' first full day on the throne". Personally I'd want some privacy if I were that bunged up.
Er ... wrong throne?
It didn't say, so...
(For anyone who's wandered in from somewhere this slang term isn't in use, "throne" is used colloquially and somewhat humourously in the UK to refer to a quite different seat with a very specific function)
We had friends in Newfoundland whose sitting-rooms were positively festooned with Christmas villages, usually lit from within by fairy lights or fake candles.
I suppose they're quite pretty, but they're also irredeemably naff.

My mother-in-law was someone who had one of those villages, too. We always knew what to get her for Christmas since another village piece was always welcome. Saved our hides many a time!

I am imagining Thomas Kinkade pictures in reality, which is a vision of hell, IMO.
Fortunately, not something we tend to do over here. I would refuse to visit anyone over the period who was into that.

He had, and he hadn't.
I see what you did there!
We aim to please.

YMMV.

This has what to do with naming a roundabout?

Couldn't people start searches for things in a slightly less dramatic way, please?
I used to cycle through those woods on a daily basis - glad I didn't come across a bison crossing in the dark!
As one does....
That hyphen really is necessary...

Actually a dash is necessary.

"Wales Online": "The smallest church in the British Isles found on a Welsh beach". Who so carelessly lost it?
Some adventurous kids had borrowed it - they were building a whole sand village, not just a castle.
Like those wretched Victorian Christmas Villages that romantics nostalgic for a time their grandparents postdate spend thousands of dollars on.
Victorian Christmas Villages have never been part of the scene here, save on cards.

You'd have to find a branch first though, so many have closed. And you'd have thought they had money to burn, anyway.
I think invereted commas were called for!
ETA: I think I've just realised what you're getting at - "warming" banks, like food banks but with heat?
You're still going to be cold again whenever you go outside ...
Perhaps everyone who comes in will be given a hot water bottle to clutch unnderneath their coat.
(Actually it's sad comment on our society if we've come to this).
"BREAKING: Jealous boyfriend jailed for life for stabbing man he thought was dating his girlfriend to death."
Strange things happen in Caerphilly!
There must be an 's' too many, surely, somewhere!
