If you mean me, El Pibe, I am entitled to interpret a person's response how I see fit - just because a language evolves doesn't mean I have to like it or, indeed, embrace it. Actually, you saw fit to tell me what to do. Anyhoo (now that one really irritates, although with yey high) - I'm off to enquire about someone's wellbeing - hope you all have a jolly well day.....

Apologies if this has been covered before - when asked "how are you" the response "I'm good". I'm enquiring after your health not your behavioural status. "My bad" is another one - it makes me want to heave.

Hard wired alarms cost about ?25 each, so ?60 to install each one is a bit steep (if he did the whole house in half a day he's raking it in).... Never heard anything about a recent house fire in HH...

"yey" high.....

Speldhurst sausage meat is the best if you're making your own (tricky to find though)... Drive down to Speldhurst on a nice sunny day and stock up - they do delicious chipolatas at Christmas.

Isn't a good troll an oxymoron? I hate 'twatoos' if that's any good??

Our neighbours at the back knocked on the door to complain about the woodpecker that was going mental every morning about 4 o'clock - it was drilling into a bird box on the pear tree..... Neighbours wanted me to 'do something about it' and 'couldn't control that bird' - errr, no.....

Yes, you've made your point in the Business section too.....

"Not a tiny amount of shame" - what a ridiculous comment.... "West Dulwich isn't really much of a place" - well we've lived here for 16 years and love it - there's a wonderful community spirit and people are very friendly, but then you'd only know that if you lived here.....

Self-closing hinges have different time closing settings - they don't slam shut - not dangerous at all!!

We were told we had to have fire doors - but finally got building regs to accept very thick pine doors (each specially made as each door was slightly different in our Victorian semi) with self-closing hinges (found brass ones online, not the hideous Perco? closers) which satisfied them... Ask building regs what thickness of pine/oak door they would accept....

Well I've just looked up Finches - it's in Forest Hill, south Dulwich pah!!

Where on earth is South Dulwich???

If Labour get in, I'm off to pay my taxes elsewhere - in my ward the Tory councillors worked hard for the community, but since Labour have been in charge nothing has been done..... I've had a visit from Labour candidates/councillors once - in SIXTEEN years!
