If you've got too much, Alice, my pond seems empty of frogspawn this year

Multi millionaires bleating from California about how tough their life was Trying living in a tower block, 3 kids, two bedrooms, lift broken. Zero hours contract, lose your pay if someone's ill. Chronic illnesses. loneliness And so and so on. Some of us might think that this is tough. I've been tipped from indifference to disgust

A man and two children coming down CP road on an electric scooter. Didn't look entirely safe to me

I agree with Sue completely. I'm "elderly" and was/am a librarian but though I'm willing to answer the questionaire, I don't understand quite a lot of your questions. Especially question 2. I think you're using terms that your market is not as familiar with as you are. There has been a lot of research, from at leas the 70s and 80s onwards, about colour, font and sizes for legibility for text and book layout, and it was shown that black/white was the clearest.

Work being done on "Stella's" the former shoe shop om North X Rd.

The very large spider that lived in a tunnel-like web in our shed door was found lying cold and still this morning. I don't know what it was, very large and reddish purple. We called it "Cuddles"

Good for Helen Hayes. Let's hope she ha more success

Just read that Royal Mail has made a massive profit. I'm sure you'll all be pleased

Saw a pied wagtail this morning. I don't remember seeing one around here before

The Clock House on last night's Long Lost Family

Post seems to be trickling through now, but we're becoming aware of post that should have arrived in December or so and hasn't. So it's presumably right at the bottom of some heap

I wouldn't be too sure Sue. Think of "Parasite"

Am i the only one who thinks spying on your neighbours is creepy? Which part of the house next? Peepholes to the bathroom? And no, to adverse possession, but a possible yes to trespass and harassment

Yes, I would say you're much more at risk at M & S, for example, which is more crowded, indoors and people there have been known to stop and chat. North X Rd market is currently occupying about 100 yards with newly widened pavements. Enough places will be closing down by the time lockdown finishes, it would be a pity to lose what is, in my opinion, an asset.

Post today! Wrong address!!

Agree as well, vmdgg and trolley Snatcha

There was a piece on the London news last night about delivery difficulties. Looks as if people are starting to realise we no longer have a reliable postal service. Perhaps (perhaps) something might get done

I agree, Nigello and that's one of the reasons I miss shops like Truly Scrumptious. Decent bread without needing a bank loan

I can't see what all the fuss is. It's outside and not much more crowded than Sunday on Peckham Rye. If you don't like it, don't go.

I don't want to spoil your idea, but a member of my family bought a rabbit for their little girl because the mother was allergic to cats. I'm afraid it wasn't that exciting a pet and seemed to be more of a nuisance. The cage needs cleaning out every day and they had to board it out for holidays. If you thought of having it indoors it might be more fun

Looks like "Truly Scrumptious" is going to be another yet another coffee shop. Pity, I think we need a bakery more.

Personally, I wouldn't find people questioning semantics helpful or friendly, in this situation And if two or more people own the car, which is very probable, then it is Our car.

A very large bird just slowly sailed overhead, being mobbed by some sort of crow Hadn't got the tail of a kite, so I'm wondering if it was a buzzard if so, this would be a first as far as I'm concerned

We're certainly getting post now, but, of course, we don't know what we never received.

I agree completely with EDGman. Considering the volume of people, it was pretty amazing. Pity about the cancelled train from ED station so I had to get two buses and the tube to be sure of getting there in time.
