Driving too far to the weighing machine, the dangerous and filthy state of pavements, Jack the Cripple, a stolen Merino coat, a foot race at Rogerstone, a runaway horse and the Zanettos play the Empire.
Driving too far to the weighing machine, the dangerous and filthy state of pavements, Jack the Cripple, a stolen Merino coat, a foot race at Rogerstone, a runaway horse and the Zanettos play the Empire.
Stealing a side of bacon, onion thieves, a call for buses to Malpas, assault with a saucepan, girl hits child in face with bible and complaining about how people walk in Newport.
A complaint about a muddy Maindee street, Valentine's Day dying out, baptising in the river Ebbw, a complaint about those who drop orange and banana peels and sparing a thought for those who can't pronounce street names.
Planting potatoes in town, throwing cardboard, stealing ham, the finest strawberries and an 11-year-old imprisoned and whipped for stealing coal.
The Malpas Mud, stealing a piece of bacon, a new fire engine tested in Pill, an excited teetotaller, 'rounding off' the National Provincial Bank and a circus running out of beer.
The Crindau Pigeon Match, a sturgeon caught in the Usk, an automatic stamp machine installed in Maindee, the noisy hot cross bun-boys, and Cambrian Road being built.
