Ok, so my title is a little mis-leading as these are most definitely NOT the proposed toilets for Harborough, in fact the toilets in Harborough will soon be as common as a dodo. Anyway, less of the political sideswipes, here’s the real post. Here’s a pic of a urinal I recently visited whilst staying with [...]

Pizza Express logo

I’ve heard this rumour from 4 different sources now and it appears we may well be getting a Pizza Express in Market harborough on the site of the old Peacock Pub.
