Well, as they say in America, 'Happy Holidays!'. I agree: PC gone mad.

And ! (great animation by the way!)

It was there, and the photo was of Christine Keeler, if I remember rightly, the sex worker at the centre of the affair played by Joanne Whalley in the film! Philby Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > but what happened to 'British politician sex' > wasnt that profumo?

This is all true, Pugwash. But I still feel it is up to the buyer to make their choices, don't you? Being a member of LAS2000 helps with ensuring the bills are fair and reasonable. And when paying the price for new and VERY good new double glazed windows, the council give people three years no interest credit. Still, it's a lot of money but when doing the search you should find out if anything is planned in advance by about five years, like new windows for example!

Thank you for your posting, Pugwash, by the way. We are living in very worrying times indeed.

May I also recommend all Southwark Leaseholders to be a member (for only about ?12 a year) to Leaseholders Association of Southwark, also known as LAS 2000. They don't have a phone number and are run by some very professional and expert volunteers, but you can write to them on the address here and ask for membership. They have saved me loads of money in payments for things, and offer a lot of very good advice.

(Broadstairs Ramsgate Margate - that bit at the end of Kent!)

Well sorry but I hope Pull The Other One remains at the Tenants Hall. TWO PINTS FOR A FIVER!!

Thanks everyone! (Tarot, I be PeckhamRose, not Sue!) Spacey has just awoke and is now embarrassed she's been photo'd like this (yes, named after Kevin!) A walk from Broadstairs to Ramsgate, fabulous! Now try Broadstairs to Margate at low tide facing the setting sun. Can you believe Clacton though? I ccouldn't. First time I have been there.

Hope you enjoy them. Byeeeeee!

Construction on Donkey Alley and you can see the Shard in the background. And Clacton! No, really!

Now do you see the window cleaners? Dawson Heights

If you look to the distance you can even see an Olympic construction. See the window cleaners on the Heron Tower?

Love that coastline. Broadstairs from the jetty. Joss Bay

A tiny cul de sac in the City. Fancy living in THAt house! And my favourite seaside resort, Broadstairs.

Lazy Spacey and Sudden Snowfall on 17 December 2010 when I was at British Museum!

Shard image by Shard itself. The shine at the top is from the image itself, not my camera! And the Chocolate stall at the food festival at Southbank.

Hi all, had some lovely reactions to my photos last time so here are some more. I intend to put about 12 up. If you're reading this before I'm done, come back later!!! This first was at the South Bank.

Peckham Rye Park Fete first Saturday in September. All folks plus their dogs welcome. Contact boosboss on this 'ere forum for more info.

My emails to them are now rejected. I have checked the address twice (and I use this email address often.) Anyone else? Or just me!?

Email sent. They use petrol driven engines when moving leaves from a to b in the Autumn, they are cutting a few hundred trees down in Burgess Park and claim it's necessary and part of the new design of the park, and they waste money and resources by sending me Southwark Life three times despite my having told them, and all sorts of other examples I could give and I am sure we could all give. Ho hum. Thanks for raising this.

Oh wow how excellent. Thanks for posting MM. (I saw Billy Joel do this live, have seen him many times, but this video is wonderful!)

Mike Dodd, the man who remembers my Grandad was a young man when he started there but is now in his sixties; this was a long time ago! I hope your son has a great time and indeed the above post involving walking through the parks and round Buck House sounds lovely... and healthy too!

Good luck to him at The Ritz! My Grandad used to be the Head Doorman / Concierge at The Ritz, and the other day I was idly passing by (no, not Saturday!) and popped in and there was a man working there who - as a boy - learned everything he knew from my Grandad and still worked there as now as Head Porter. My best wishes to your son!!

Well I'd rather they cut that then services. But don't worry, the Friends of Peckham Rye Park are still holding their fete early September, and the Irish, English Scottish even the Welsh(!) and their dogs can come to that!
