The demo yesterday was polite, peaceful and benevolent. Except towards Trump :))

Yes! Didn't last long. Then Franco Manca completely remodelled the space, which took ages.

That would be very very funny if it wasn't so terrifying. Also terrifying is that there is now a petition attempting to get Sadiq Khan sacked. When I first saw it I thought it was a joke. It isn't. Last night it had already got thousands of signatures. I don't want to look again. I feel physically sick at what this country and the world is becoming, and that so many people seem oblivious.

I like the net bags (except for things which may fall through the holes!) They are light and easy to carry as they take up virtually no room, but expand to hold a lot. I used to use those nylon (?) ones which fold up into a tiny bag. Until the day I put keys in them, and the keys made a hole in the bag and dropped out through the hole. Somewhere in Penge :)) Unluckily they were somebody else's keys. Luckily they didn't have any identifying features. Ooops.

This was what they posted last October, so I don't know what happened: "Just to keep you all in the loop regarding our food offer... From this week we will have the magnificent Stranger Naans guys providing delicious meals every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 5pm onwards and on Saturdays from midday 'til late. Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays from Sunday 14th October we will have local foodsters Taco De Planta serving up their gorgeous Tacos. If you have any questions feel free to drop us a line at [email protected]. Much love, The DBD team x"

Trouble was I never did, and most of it went past its use by date and got binned. In future I'm just deciding on recipes first and then buying the ingredients for them :))

Eh?

If you are not worried by this > nor demonstrating then perhaps ask yourself why. Yes. This country - and the world - is on a very dangerous path, for many reasons. Some of us want to stand up and be counted and try to make a difference. And Jeremy Corbyn made a passionate, heartfelt and inspiring speech.

Hopefully it recovered a bit and was able to fly away. I hope your son wasn't too upset.

I had lots of really huge bees in my garden today. Three came into the kitchen. That was fun :)) Anybody else seen them?

My contact lens person would not be happy if I did that! And she doesn't stand to make any money from my using the lenses more than once, as I buy them elsewhere! ETA: But I see one of the major advantages of single use lenses as being that you don't have to mess about with cleaning them and keeping them sterile. Otherwise you may as well just have gas permeable lenses in the first place!

Well well. The fragrant Blah Blah returns, right on cue :)) Funnily enough I was just thinking about you this morning :)) You really can't resist giving yourself away, can you? I'm collecting screenshots :)) :)) :)) ETA: If anybody new to the forum doesn't realise, you can click on people's name and see their past posts (at least, back to when the forum was reorganised by admin a while ago). So you can click on my name and see how much sanctimonious crap I've posted. Depending on your definitions of sanctimonious and crap, of course. I'd reckon probably about 0.001% :))

Do you rate that big shop at the Elephant, KK? I haven't been in there yet.

Lol... > Okay. > Eh? Where have I called this shop a "hideous eyesore"? ETA: oh yes, I did. I used the words "hideous" and "eyesore," In separate sentences in a totally unrelated thread in the lounge. But not as you have quoted me. ETA: And I specifically said that I was saying it on that thread where hardly anybody would be likely to see it. But hey ho. I stand by my view. I just didn't want it made so public as you have just done, for obvious reasons. Thanks for that. ETA: Let's just stop this now. I shall be more careful in future about posting my opinions on a local forum I've been using for nearly thirteen years.

I did not see all the previous thread before it was deleted. My reasons on the other thread for not giving the shop my custom, if I said that which I can't remember, were because of posts by the owner early in the thread, which he subsequently deleted and which I have no intention of repeating here. I am not a troll and was not trying to wind anybody up. ETA: I have said above why I asked the question. It is one thing to effusively praise a new shop. It is another thing to write derogative comments about a shop next door to it selling similar products.

.

My question to VelvetBlueberry was based on his/her negative comments about sweets sold by other local shops.

Website now says launching 14 June.

Not from what I understand, anyway. ETA: My understanding was that they were going to block off part of the middle so that demonstrators could not gather near the entrance to Downing Street, and also could not walk down Whitehall directly between Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square, but would have to go a longer way round.
