Is anyone watching this?


I haven't seen it again since it came out. I lived on Merseyside at the time and the deprivation and lack of support for people facing hard times pictured in the film was normal then. Seeing it again nearly 30 years later it's pretty shocking and more moving than I remembered.

Yeh I loved it when he said the the rent collector's henchman,


"Gizza job. I can do that. Carry stuff. I can carry stuff. Go on, gizza job."


Or the guy groundsman, "I can walk in straight lines, I can do that. Gizza job".


Hard as an adult watching him cracking up though. I didn't understand it properly when I saw it first time it came out.

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
