I don't remember the Wipers Arms.

And, despite rumours to the contrary, I am not old enough to remember this:

I've got a copy of the Wipers Times. Ian Hislop did a book of all the known editions - fascinating.

So - what was the Wipers Arms?

.... and then Facebook was invented and almost overnight all the trolls left the forum for new feeding grounds.

This was a good thing as we could settle back into our nice comfy world posting about Land Rover problems (mainly).
