There are a lot of rather stupid people about, and just because two of those stupid people happened to be "old biddys" (how patronising) does not mean that all older people are stupid.

So what work do you suggest "we" do to get out of this truly terrible mess of a country we have woken up to? All rally round the vile Nigel Farage, who gut-wrenchingly said that "not a shot had been fired" or words to that effect, after the result? With Jo Cox not yet buried. Dance to the strings of Boris Johnson? I'm ashamed to be British this morning.

The tiny garden centre in a place I can't presently remember - towards West Dulwich? - will take stuff to be sharpened. I'll look it up tomorrow!

What I can't understand is why there isn't some kind of digital (is that the right word?) system. The present system seems to me to be open to fraud at several points. If people didn't have access to the internet at home they could vote at local places in the same way theythey do now, only online. Oh and I thought turnout was higher than expected? Really wanted to stay up but got a gig tomorrow ;( First result in!

So basically, you're now selling stuff from home. So this should be in the business section. -
My post is also normal. You could ask at the delivery office if there's been anything affecting deliveries to your road eg sickness which couldn't be covered?

A dog which is "not aggressive but playful" but killed a fox? Hmmm. Hope it never comes to play with me. And re the cat killer/s, if information re the mode of killing has been posted online, then clearly there could be copycat killers. I can't really understand how this has gone on so long and nobody caught.

It's going to be a bar or a restaurant, isn't it. Called The Bank.

I bloody missed it. Knackered and went to bed early:( But also hadn't realised it's only called a strawberry moon because it's the start of the strawberry picking season :))

Thank you Fox. That's a bit scary! I do have powerpoint, but it didn't open automatically when I clicked on the link, and no Firefox didn't ask me what I wanted to use to open it :( But most people won't have powerpoint unless they're at work, and of course nobody would be reading this at work :)) :)) :))

See this thread: > http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5 > ,1667282,1667555#msg-1667555 Thanks. I would never have seen the tiny notice about parking restrictions on Friday, had I not asked in the taxi office to double check. You would have thought that all relevant restrictions would have been on the same notice. If you see a notice saying no parking on Saturday between certain hours, you (ie I) assume that is the only restriction.
-
Just found that out. Couldn't park yesterday so thought I'd go down this morning. No parking 7 - 4 on Friday. Confusingly, it is on a different notice. I did think it was odd because there are sometimes stalls there on a Friday. Grrrr. Now got to try for the third time after 4pm today!

I feel sick to my core. Really shocked.
