Looo tenant. I find myself saying that even though I know none. I never understood how one could get Leff from Lieu. And since American films are or were the prevalent cultural source for many of us, we stick to skedules for Lootenants. I agree about the misuse of "Hopefully", and I do try and say "I hope that.." instead. But people who end their sentences with so... Grrrrrr So...

Don't care. Still love it. Good telly. Am sick of being pandered to with people trying so hard NOT to offend and be inclusive. I also wholeheartedly concur with James May's opinion that there should only be one law. "Don't be a prat".

They already have. Write to the council with your concerns?

Wouldn't bother me. I recollect that the tastist bits of a human body are the upper arms. Don't ask how I know or why I remembered that, I just do.

Got back this morning having done most of them. Really appreciated the PMs and comments on my earlier thread. Loved Stockbridge especially and Norman Rockwell Museum but you missed out what was also in Stockbridge. The ORIGINAL Alice's Restaurant! Anyway, thanks everyone, and yes we made it to Magic Hat Brewery tour too!

Don't have a car, love Top Gear. Loved the episode where they asked how fast we thought a caravan could go, then zoomed up to one hanging up very high from a crane, then let it go. ooooh it went fast! I love the editing and the silliness and just can't get worked up about the occasional offensiveness.

The tour was great and they indeed told us about how workers can take two tubs home a day. I forgot to askabout the branch here, but they did promise they only use ethically sourced products and are very green. The water flushing the loos, sorry the Restroomfacilities, was ethically dyed blue and was water from elsewhere in the factory. But they have no sway over franchises in places like EDulwich overcharging,probably.

It just so happens your humble correspondent in New England on a road trip should be hesding for the Benand Jerry's hq andfactory in thenext few days inVermont; l will ask them their plans!

Hey, thsnks so much EDF folk for your advice. Looks like we have slightly mistimed as the colours have not changed down south but as we have drivennorth they are turning slowly. Cape Cod was so astoundinly lovely and now we are in Stockbridge and seeing the Norman Rockwell museum tomorrow having met a man who knew him or szys he did.. And the original Alice'sRestaurant place too that Arlo Guthrie wrote about. Am having a grat time! Sorry for mistakes had a large margarita at the Red Lion in Stockbridge. Treat this as your postcard.

Should we start a "Famous people in the Co-op seen nicking food" thread? I saw Mickey Flanagan in the Dulwich Therapy Rooms but it's not quite the same, so sorry!

"maybe things have got so bad for people that they have to" Things have always been bad for many people. What planet have you been living on. Years ago we sent people to Australia for nicking bread. In some countries they cut folks hands off. Sorry but that was a bit of a naive statement.

I accept that the future of our 'young' people is an important issue to deal with. I hope you get a lot of input and ideas. I would, however, also argue for the future of those people who have a lot of talent and skills and life experience to offer but because they are not 'young', and assumed to be wanting to live on a reasonable wage, they are not considered employable even though they have so much (more) to offer.

Go make an appt with the very experienced and lovely and patient Stephen Butler at Dollond and Aitchison. Forgive them the state of their premises. I have been under his (and his predecessor's) care for my own (hard gas permeable) glasses for the last 28 years and highly recommend. I recall when I first used them and I would estimate it took me 6 months to really get comfy with them. I would not use soft lenses as they can absorb infections more easily. Of course you can get daily disposables if money allows. If money allowed I'd get laser treatment! best of luck.

Get some paper and a pen, and write every single thing you can remember of that day, using diaries, and receipts, and memory. Sign and date it and keep it and amend it as more memories / evidence appears. Horrid business. Best wishes.

There was a thread in here a while ago where there was a link given to a website where someone had painstakingly plotted every bomb that had fallen, on to a map so you could see which street and where. As one walks around many streets now, the 60s houses at the end of a terrace or so, that is where a bomb dropped. Haven't time to search for it now, but it was very interesting. Might be worth looking for that.

I had a lot of private message responses! x

We were rather impressed with the Chinese on Tooley Street but that is closer to Tower Bridge near Bermondsey Street junction. Just sayin'!

Thanks, but just asking for people from here who might have fave recommendations of places they have been to. :D

If any of you have recommendations of places we absolutely must see on our two week road trip around new England we would be very grateful to hear them! Also, reasonably priced hotels too. And to start with, any in Boston? We start and end there. Well, we start and end here obviously but are flying into and out of Boston! We are sadly unable to fund a budget to do wonderful American B&Bs so budget smaller places will be preferable. Thanks!

J20 in most pubs I go to is ?2.00. Some cheaper pubs ?1.80. But never more than ?2.10.

Have you? Go along to community councils.

Email Veolia at their new recycling site on the Old Kent Road. Ian McGeough I think is the name of the man you need to aim for. If everyone told them what they need and the fact that people would have to stop recycling if they don't collect regularly enough, Veolia would have to do something about it, as they have targets to hit.

This is a good EDF story happening. But what have the council to say for themselves for having let this happen? Maybe someone could ask question at the next Commmunity Council. Well done you lot!

Don't worry, the whole front area of the station will be pulled down and open up the entire square so it will look beautiful and clean and fabulous. But if you are worried about it NOW, email the station master and / or the council. Go get their email address from notices or staff at the station.

Today.
