    Scary pubs

    The "Elephant and Castle" is derived from a coaching inn of that name on the site. The earliest surviving record of this name relating to the area is in the Court Leet Book of the Manor of Walworth. This local court had met at "Elephant and Castle, Newington" on 21 March 1765. Previously the site was occupied by a blacksmith and cutler ? the coat of arms of the Worshipful Company of Cutlers features an elephant with a castle (possibly meant to be a howdah) on its back, which in turn was used because of the use of elephant ivory in handles.

Does this mean that people can apply for a stall on weekdays, and if so where could they set up as cars are parked there on those days ?? Fox.

  18. Hi womanofdulwich In short, Abraham Natural Produce would rather all animals were slaughtered without stunning . However most abattoirs in the UK, unless purpose built for halal slaughter, use stunning on animals. Where we are based in the UK there are no Muslim abattoirs. We therefore have no option but to stun our produce as only animals processed through abattoirs can be sold for human consumption. On top of this we are bound by organic standards which demand that any animal solds as "organic" must be stunned before being stuck. The stun used is a very low voltage that knocks the animal out for around 15-20 seconds. After 20 seconds it is potentially back to normal and during that 20 seconds it is alive and breathing. This means that when the animal is cut it still bleeds the animal properly. http://www.organic-halal-meat.com/article/stunning.php

  20. When I take a long look at my life, as though from outside, it does not appear particularly happy. Yet I am even less justified in calling it unhappy, despite all its mistakes. After all, it is foolish to keep probing for happiness or unhappiness, for it seems to me it would be hard to exchange the unhappiest days of my life for all the happy ones. If what matters in a person?s existence is to accept the inevitable consciously, to taste the good and bad to the full and to make for oneself a more individual, unaccidental and inward destiny alongside one?s external fate, then my life has been neither empty nor worthless. Even if, as it is decreed by the gods, fate has inexorably trod over my external existence as it does with everyone, my inner life has been of my own making . I deserve its sweetness and bitterness and accept full responsibility for it.

Right.... If there is someone in your Garden and you intend to confront them, then take out your phone, Not a Baseball bat.. On the more recent iPods you do not need to enter your pin to use the Camera. The Camera is at the bottom of the home page. So if the person attacks you they stand the chance of getting a longer sentence if identified. Probably will attack you anyway if you confront them If you attack them, you could find yourself being procecuted. Fox...

  23. If you have an iPhone or Ipod, install icloud. and enable Photo Stream Install on your P.C. If you are confronted, take a picture.. Even if your device is taken from you it is too late for the theif. Provided you are in a Wi-FI area or your Data is enabled, the picture will already be in the cloud and can be retreived from any P.C. With iCloud Photo Stream. Fox.

  25. From BBC Morning show.. Interesting that the Last issue of The Dandy comes out today.. Reason:- Kids do not read printed media anymore.. and prefer computer based media. Kids used to learn to read with comics. Then move on to magazines and Newspapers. I realise that comics were filled with onomatopoeic words ie. Zap , Boom, Whooooosh. but of us have grown up being able to speak reasonably well. But kids today write and speak Text Speak.. ?u av d ryt 2 feel safe ll d tym, includN wen UzN ICT or yr mob ph.? That translates as: ?You have the right to feel safe all the time, including when using information communications technology or your mobile phone.? You do not get that from Books.. init Fox.
