BARKING MAKES TONGUES WAG

BARKING is within sight of the Gherkin, with the cheapest property in London, making it popular Bedat & Co. Replica with first-time buyers on a shoe-string budget.

Barking and its neighbour, Dagenham, have an industrial past. Head east out of the capital, past Canary Wharf, and you are confronted by a forbidding landscape of derelict factories, power stations and refineries, many clinging to the banks of the Thames. This is the raw end of the Thames Gateway.

But being so close to London's centre, regeneration is bound to, and indeed is, flowering -- especially in Barking, which is on the District line (in Zone 4) and has 20-minute rail services to Fenchurch Street in the City.

The town centre is getting a facelift and a giant 10,800-home district is being built on the riverbank. New homes are coming to Barking's leafier suburban fringe, too. A few bullish locals are even calling Barking the "next Stratford" -- audacious, perhaps, but proof that something is in the air.

Mayesbrook Manor, set back from the road, with black and gold glossy posh railings is a handsome Art Deco former college. Originally a technical school, then part of University of East London, it is being turned into 106 apartments. The building is the centrepiece and the only retained element of a much bigger development called The Academy, which will eventually have more than 800 newly built homes.

With its grand gated entrance and driveway, robust brick facade with clocktower and decorative stone motifs, the building provides a sense of arrival, which is carried through to the central reception lobby, a marbled hall with stone columns and Art Deco paintings. Wide communal corridors continue through the building.

It has set tongues wagging locally. It looks impressive and expensive but the refurbishment proves that buying an affordable home does not have to involve making a compromise. Apartments have high spec, high ceilings and are bigger than average -- ranging from 525sq ft to 2,200sq ft, with a typical two-bedroom flat close to 1,000sq ft. Internal finishes include stone-effect walls in bathrooms, extra large shower trays, laminated timber floors and fitted wardrobes. Buyers can choose from some expensive interior finishes -- either oak, cherry or walnut for doors, architraves and skirtings plus there are tile and colour options.

Two elongated "wings" flank each side of the main entrance. The building has been gutted, windows replaced and apartments are being created in the old classrooms, assembly hall and lecture theatre. The largest apartment extends into the roof space of the building, incorporates four terraces and has a private lift, and is still under Pounds 325,000.

Prices start at Pounds 139,995 and rise to Pounds 325,000. Show flats are open for viewing.

Call Weston Homes on 0845 638 5013. Completions are due between winter 2010 and spring 2011, though construction at The Academy site surrounding Mayesbrook Manor will be ongoing for several years.

The scheme backs onto a park and it is a short bus ride along Longbridge Road, a pleasant-enough avenue-like road, to Barking town centre, where improvements are also under way.

Theyweregreathandguns

[ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED]

Whimsical Fake

Some handguns were just downright wonderful. They were put together better, finished prettier and shot more accurately than most of their contemporaries or anything made today. These fine old handguns were made in the era when American production quality surpassed Swiss watches. Handguns like the Colt Peacemaker, S&W Triplelock, Colt New Service, Ruger's Blackhawk .44 Magnum and Colt 1911 have all achieved legendary status. At least that's what you'll have read if you follow the writings in gun magazines for over 40 years like I have. Heck, I've even written such stuff myself.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

To be honest those handguns weren't all that great. I know, because I have several samples of each. The greatest thing most have going for them is they are no longer made, which in turns makes them desirable. Tell someone they can't have an item and watch it turn into a collector's piece overnight.

Now, I'm not saying the above handguns were bad. They all have their good points. But they all, indeed, had their bad points. That they were "wonderful" shouldn't be considered a legend--it should be considered a myth.

Huh?

Here's a good example. Pre-World War II S&W N-frame revolvers are considered the "best of the best." For several years I owned one of the Heavy Duty .38-44s, which meant it was chambered for .38 Special, but intended for those odd .38-44 high pressure loads that came out in 1930. Such loads were actually the precursor of the .357 Magnum. The dual digits meant the caliber was .38 but they were only intended to be fired in .44 frame-sized handguns.

My particular Heavy Duty was shipped from the factory in 1931 and was in beautiful condition, with 90-percent or more of its bright blue finish remaining, with perfect lock-up and timing, and with nary a bit of pitting in its 5" barrel or chambers. So last summer I determined to do a reloading project using it and a Colt SAA .38 Special of about 1960 vintage since it was also rated safe for those high pressure .38 Special/.38-44 type loads.

[ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED]

That Heavy Duty would not group any load under 3" for 10 shots at 25 yards. The Colt SAA put some of the exact same loads into 1 1/2" groups. Furthermore, I also have a 1950s vintage S&W Outdoorsman .38-44, which is the same basic handgun as the Heavy Duty except it carries adjustable sights instead of fixed ones: That post-War World II Outdoorsman shot tings around the pre-World War II Heavy Duty, with most of its groups being less than 1 1/2".

[ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED]

OK, let's carry this matter a step further--in each direction. I mean let's compare pre-World War I Smith & Wesson N-frames to brand new Smith & Wesson N-frames. No American revolver has the mythical aura of the Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector 1st Model, commonly known as "triple-lock." That's because Smith & Wesson fitted it with a third lock, which secures its crane to frame when the cylinder is closed. It was introduced in 1908 and dropped in 1915. Some consider it the finest revolver ever made, and indeed its fit and finish is unsurpassed. I have two; one a target sighted version with 6 1/2 barrel and the other a fixed sighted one with the very rare 4" barrel. Neither one is especially accurate. In fact my 2004 vintage S&W Model 21-4 "Thunder Ranch Revolver" shoots better than both. It's true you can actually see yourself in the fine finish of good condition Triplelocks, but I've never needed to use my revolvers as shaving mirrors. I shoot them, and not being a world class handgun shot I need them to be ac

They'relayingdownthelaw

Byline: Sandy Mckenzie

The toughest lawman in the West has been told by Middlesbrough's Mayor, Ray Mallon, that Britain's prisons are not a big enough deterrent to crime.

Joe Arpiao is the sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona where he introduced Tent City for prisoners.

The inmates live under canvas in temperatures of 140AF and are issued with pink underwear to stop thefts of the clothing by prisoners.

The prison spends 15 cents a day on food for each inmate. Watching television is severely restricted and there is no coffee, cigarettes, movies and pornographic magazines.

The sheriff has also set up a website showing the details of the 300 people arrested each day in his area.

During his meeting yesterday with Mr Mallon, Sheriff Arpiao revealed that as a policeman in Las Vegas in the 1950s he stopped Elvis Presley for speeding on a motorcycle.

"I Pandora Necklace Charm took him to the police station, but he talked me out of giving him a ticket," said Sheriff Arpiona.

A range of criminal justice issues was discussed by the two men during a two-hour meeting in Middlesbrough Town Hall.

Mr Mallon told the sheriff he believed in punishment, deterrent, rehabilitation and diversion.

But he said prisons in the UK could be like five-star hotels and did not provide a deterrent.

"I am not saying we should go back to the old days of four prisoners in one cell, but it seems that punishment has become a dirty word.

"You must have punishment to have a deterrent. I want prisons to be a punishment with appropriate sentences to provide a deterrent and then you will see crime reduce further," said Mr Mallon.

He said prisoners should enjoy basic rights, such as a clean bed in a clean cell.

But he wanted to see lights out in prisons at 10pm, no television and restrictions on access to a telephone and other activities.

"I know that some prisoners have been in tears when released from prison because they were leaving prison and their friends," said the Mayor.

Sheriff Arpaio said: "I think the mayor is on the right track. More people have to listen to him."

He said in his area there had been a 25pc fall in crime.

"There are more people in jail now and they are staying there for longer - that is why crime is going down," he said.

Sheriff Arpaio said: "I will predict that in ten years British bobbies will have guns. They should be carrying guns."

But Mr Mallon said he believed it was not necessary.

Police armed response vehicles could quickly attend any armed incident and routinely arming the police would not reduce the murder rate as far as gun crime was concerned.
