what I don't get, is that there must at some point be a prototype or first run. At this point, someone must think 'oh, it doesn't do what it's designed for... hmmm... let's go into production anyway'. That's the weird bit. When something is only designed to do one thing (like a pencil sharpener), which it cannot do - how does it still get into production?

Ed was build, as you say, for office clerks / city workers. Back in victorian time, It would have been considered a middle class area. Not as posh as Peckham, but 'respectable'.

The sight of all those MPs who believe Brexit to be damaging to those they are supposed to represent, voting for it anyway is appalling. I know exactly what you mean about conscience Beej.

Are MPs who continued to oppose EU membership following 1975 referendum 'enemies of democracy' too I wonder?

Farage has called the elected MPs who have voted in what they believe to be the best interests of the people they represent, 'enemies of democracy'. He himself tried unsuccessfully, to get elected as an MP 6 times of course.

I did email Helen Hayes about this before the vote. I'm really pleased to see that she voted for what she thought was in the best interests of her constituents and indeed, the country. If only more MPs had shown this kind of courage and done the same.

I don't get how rents on the Lane keep going up so steeply. Has there been a significant increase in footfall / demand?

deserved rural guardianistas are welcome to start petitions of course.

Signing an online petition is sooo much easier than actually doing something though.

Fundamentally, we need to address the wider issue of societies attitudes to what it means to be a boy / man. The idea that you must be tough, aggressive.. stand your ground etc. I know it's judgmental, but I do despair at some of the 'boys will be boy's' type attitudes that prevail.

They are/were very expensive though.

I thought Ken Clarke was fantastic in parliament yesterday during the Brexit debate. If you haven't seen it, worth a 'google'.

Oh wow, it actually changes the word fuck for fuck

As @#$%& is banned I suggest using 'fuck' instead

We should ban Donald Trumps 'hair' from the UK until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

It's an irrelevance imo. No one is going to stop being obese because bottomless drinks are prohibited.

A potted history of the UK?s relationship with the EU (from the FT): UK: Can we join? EU: Non. UK: Go on, please. EU: OK then. UK: We want a rebate. EU: Here is a rebate. UK: We want a single market. EU: Here is a single market. UK: We want EU expansion to the east. EU: Here is EU expansion to the east. UK: We want opt-outs on Schengen, on social policy, on the charter of fundamental rights, on the euro? EU: Here are all your opt-outs. [Pause.] UK: Bye!

Bloomin' degentrification.

Trump is odious, but I don't necessarily subscribe to the view that 'my enemy's enemy is my friend'. The fact that there are people who oppose Trump but might still be douche bags themselves is not news.

This is fake news Alan. You are fake news. Horrible. Just horrible. The US is a bigly export market, it's the bigliest. It's gonna be great. We're going to build a trade agreement with Trump. He builds the best trade agreements. The Eu is horrible, just horrible. The Uk, he loves the Uk. Great people. Some of his staff are from the UK. Just...it's gonna be great folks.

Never buy cheap talcum powder on the street it could be cut with cocaine.

I'm planning a nice cup of tea and a sit down for mine and it's only my fortieth. Far play to you.

Loz- out of interest , what's your view on the loud Trump?
