Alcoholism I'm not addicted just thirsty! :))

and pay through the nose for worse crap? Bread going rock hard by the end of the day, cucumbers going squidgy the day after purchase... yes V'ON I can see the appeal.

Louisa I swear you're my neighbour... *shudders* :p Leave Somerfield be or bring back Gateway ;-)

Steady on Sue... the guilty person probably knows you mean them... ;-) (that sounded better in my head than typed!)

oh bother off back to your own side with that kind of dribble *rolls eyes and sighs deeply* lol really foolish fairy... really! :p

Just trying to understand your mentality that's all ;-)

What on earth prompted you to report such things at that unearthly hour? Does not ignoring the issue (by not saying anything to the litterers) make one as bad as them these days? Turning a blind eye and all that? Tut tut

Friends

Oh for a lightbulb emotion! One assumes you have reported this troublesome employee to management... a customer service course or two may be all that's needed.:)-D

Markeddie which age group do you fall into?

Well put :)-D (*bob*)

Depends which side of the Lane you're on. I find going from Dulwich plough to just past the the petrol station at Hornimans both Vodafone and Orange network signals disappear (although notedly Vodafone has improved somewhat over the last two weeks). Coming back that way and you can continue your phone call from forest hill all the way down with no problems... In my experience... although I have just upgraded my Orange phone which seems to get a stronger reception where I work... I shall report back at some point. :p

oooo Youtube has the answers to everything!

Any idea on the statistics on male rape etc? I mean this as a serious question and not to divert from the initial awareness being raised. I am genuinely curious. *edited to reflect last two lines

You are advised they will respond within 5 working days - I'll shall report back later ;-) I wrote a wonderful letter of complaint and bemusement of how a clearly presented letter with a destination of another London address ended up arriving at a Liverpool address... such a kind person who returned the important letter back...

Mefinks ya need to get out more :p

I dont think its as bad as all that Annaj. Times do change, new names appear with different words to share (albeit perhaps not in the most pleasant way presented), different thoughts and opinions appear. It happens everywhere. Now I apologise in advance for sounding confusing - the structured thought process doesn't work too well at this time in the morning... I remember when I first started to join in on the forum (after a good while lurking) I found it difficult to fit in as it seemed (to me) that I wasn't of the same grouping - on the same level of intelligence, as quick witted as everyone else and not able to convert my strong thoughts in to words that were understood by others. Whilst generally there was a warm welcoming by the established regular posters there were times when I felt I was still an outsider. I know many of the older regulars here will be thinking what the hell I'm on about but this is the experience I have. As time has gone by and I've made myself quite comfortable joining in as an when online and offline I have noticed the issue still there. Others have accused the forum of being too "cliquey" - whilst I do not necessarily agree with such a statement I can see how that impression may be made to new names and regular lurkers. Again, it happens everywhere. Groups form - the popular, brainy, beautiful, geeky, the silly/norty types etcs. People choose to settle with others they can most relate to. Doesn't bother me who comes along invading and shaking things up a little. If one really loves/needs/wants the forum hiding away and letting those you find have changed the flavour of the place take over is not the best option. If one wants the serious topics of conversation to return... bring it on! :) *edited to ensure particular words weren't misconstrued

Just thank the good lord that snorky's one step ahead of the rest of us!
