I remember the multicoloured one. Haven't seen it recently. I always preferred the standard Fry's cream though (although peppermint aint too bad). Dairy Milk i just don't get, it's hands down the worse chocolate. Galaxy, Milka, almost anything else is nicer if you want something milky.

Agree with you about Fry's turkish delight Louisa. Good stuff.

I hate Dairy Milk. It doesn't taste of anything, just really sweet and has the texture of cheese. Horrible. That said, I do like a Crunchie and shameful as it is to admit, I always liked Caramac. My favourite old school bar though is the Fry's chocolate creme by a country mile. Oh, and Topics - love a Topic.

Agree with Ruffers - I've tried a couple of different routes and that one is the fastest / easiest.

The more you eat them the fatter your hands get and the smaller they look as you push fistfuls into your shout piece.

I'll get some popcorn

It always amazes me to see people causally texting at the wheel. I bet the same individuals wouldn't dream of drink driving, but it's probably as dangerous.

Sorry to hear about this, sounds pretty traumatic tbh. You have to wonder what on earth has caused 12 year olds to behave like that? pretty grim.

I think there was a post by someone else who had experienced this, in the same area, a few weeks back. Sounds like the same culprits. Have you reported it?

When articles quote percentage increases in something without actual numbers - i.e. "so and so is up 20% (yeah, but from an extremely low base, such that to be meaningless / statistically insignificant)".

Another supermarket seems unnecessary.

I was in Bristol the weekend before last and couldn't believe how cheap drinks were compared to London.

Louisa's post was in the spirit of the thread, so totally unreasonable to criticise IMO.

Ha! Was just about to link to that myself. Good article

Quite a fee galleries / museums do hold special late sessions for adults only

It's only about 30 metres of bus lane - if it started a little further down the road just past the junction with Landells Road- it would make no difference to the buses and the clear demand for short term parking outside Sainsbury's would be met. I suspect it may even improve the flow of traffic as a lot of people dither trying to work out whether they can stop or not / looking for laternative spaces.

I agree with you edcam, but I question the need for parking restrictions outside Sainsburys. It's only about 30 metres of bus lane beginning just past CP Rd - it would make little difference if it began after Landells Road. frankly any buses would likely get through the same set of lights in any given cycle.

I like the sun, but not a massive fan of the heat. A comfortable 70 degrees with a breeze is about as hot as I need. Kids waking up at 5am every morning is another negative - black out blinds never quite do the trick. People out in gardens keeping kids awake (when they're getting up at 5). Child care over the summer holidays is also massively expensive, difficult to organise and guilt riddling. There you go, I'm grumpy too. :-)

If we had some half decent public transport in SE London it would help alleviate a lot of the pressure on the roads. Unfortunately billions are being wasted from the infrastructure budget on Boris' vanity projects like the new 'routemasters', the garden bridge and the Emirates Dangleway. It would be nice if the mayor would extend the tube into SE London, to serve some existing communities and the taxpayers who are funding TFL, instead of diverting the northern line into the middle of a new property development already being dubbed 'Singapore on Thames' (due to it's being primarily marketed as an opportunity for overseas speculators to park their cash)... effectively a huge taxpayer subsidy to the developers.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you Foxy.
