Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage
Earl Aelfheah replied to PinkyB's topic in The Lounge
No it's not. 020 is the area code and only needs to be added to the number when calling from outside the area zone (i.e. from outside London). Numbers in London may start with a 7, an 8, or a 3 regardless of where in London they are. -
There is always Megabus, if you have a LOT of time.

Sometimes I'll just give the number, i.e. "7890 1234" and it'll blow their mind. "Sorry, 7890, I don't understand.", "It's a London number, add 020 if your dialling from outside London, which I know you aren't". "er, OK, so 0207, then what is it?.." ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH -

People who insist on London phone numbers being described in terms of the area code + the first digit of the telephone number, before they'll attend to the rest of it. I.e. "my number is 020, 7890, 1234", "sorry, 0207, then?..." 020 is the area code for London. The first digit of your phone number does not form part of the area code. -
Great Exhibition is my regular, but that's as much to do with it's proximity to my house as anything. Gowlett is a good pub too.

People who lock their bike to the same rack as you, in such a way that it's almost impossible to unlock your own bike. -
Bravo Louisa

Maybe they are cockney, office-based aliens out shopping for a 'Peckham Rye'? It would also explain why they were flying 'round the houses'.... The probing referenced above a disastrous attempt to buy a shirt.

I had a 99er the other day and for some reason it tasted strongly of Banana.

Wow. I agree with Louisa.

Oh come on, everyone likes a soft whip.

I remember being at school and news of Thatcher having stepped down 'hitting the playground'. People were running around cheering. We were far too young to really understand the politics of the time, but we had the sense that she was a bad woman and that that her departure was significant. This was in Surrey.

We should set up a vigilante group - the Guardianista Angels - to go around confiscating the Mr Whippy from offending vans and replacing it with organic, free range, gelato.

London has people from all over, not only the country, but the world. With a population the size of London, it's ridiculous to think that there is a general character that can be applied to 'Londoners'.

I wonder whether they have been depositing little bottles of orange liquid around dulwich?

This is lame. There is huge investment in transport infrastructure going on in London and SE should get it's share. Investment all seems to be in areas which are already well served.

It is an offence for an ice cream van to sound it's chimes before 12 noon or after 7pm: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245699/pb14030-ice-cream-vans.pdf

Noooooooooooooooooo! That would be really sad news if true.

Maybe it is the invasion of the Claphamites.

Yeah right. Source please Louisa. -
Could it be angels in Peckham Rye again?
-
Eh? Is this a new pub?

It would be great to have some sushi on the lane. -
Shortest route to the "countryside" on a bike?
