Thinking between the lines, Nicholas.

Well spotted cazkid and thanks for the magic link. If I knew him I would shop him.

Because they became uncompetetive in this price challenged area. M&S will go the same route as C&A in my opinion as they cannot compete on price against Asda and Tesco.

Asset dear you are not a typical example of the squatters I have known who would trash a place and then move on.

Southwark are busy harvesting the pulse car park by clamping people and charging ?100 to release it, and it takes two hours for the release. It has a strange ticket machine which accepts no money, you press the button take the ticket which lasts 4 hours and place on your dashboard, some like me tried to put money in, which it does not accept, and then you ignore it as it is out of order come back an hour later after the swim to find yourself clamped. Charming, you really do not expect to get clamped in a car park. Southwark is making itself very popular with motorists.

Tilly Trotter is the ace limerick writer on ED forum get your heads together and publish a book between you.

One of ED's greatest assets is this forum but that is thanks to the boy Mark who created it. Ed is less stuffy than dulwich village, west dulwich and herne hill, and property it is cheaper. There seem to be more buggies per square yard here too. So possibly a younger crowd, that will eventually move off to the other areas as they progress up the ladder of success and middle age.

So you only tip if they muck out and bring in the hay then, Horsebox;-)

andy&kez I also had a beetle, it was the noisiest most uncomfortable and dangerous car I ever had. On motorways with the slightest crosswind it would jump into the next lane, and if you ever braked hard going down a steepish hill you would spin 180 degrees. It did have good traction in snowy winters, but the rest of it you could keep. I preferred the British beetle the Morris Minor, which was my first car and the only car I had with a split windscreen.

I dont know the answer but they all flew with KLM

Not so much a charliecharlie more of a flash Harry a charliecharlie!

paolot if you have no burglar alarm, I should get one. When squatters moved into a house rear of where I used to live, all the houses without alarms were broken into in the following weeks. There was a constant trail of police with clip boards, going past my house, carrying insurance lists.

I have no higher purpose in life than to copulate, and be the best shag on the block. When I can no longer do that, I shall have less reason to stay.

Thankyou for that giggirl.

Dulwichdoll I sympathise and noted two of the difficulties I may help you with. The extinguishes might be sprayed with a red car paint spray to save a few quid. The next time a toilet gets blocked, get the oldest mop in the place, push it up and down in the toilet pan then flush it, if it fills the pan do more up and down movements with the mop as if you are trying to get it to go round the bend, it should empty the pan and get rid of the blockage. Dump the mop or rinse it thoroughly. Employees are to the most part an expensive liability. My uncle, who ran a pub all his adult life said "if they were any good they were robbing the till, and if they were no good they were costing you money". I have lost out at three tribunals one for twelve grand who had worked for me slightly less than a year, she then quit and walked out, and then she lied to the tribunal about quitting, and said I had sacked her. The last one cost me eight grand, she worked for 3 mornings per week and had run up ?2600 in personal telephone charges which some might think was excessive. I had someone to correlate the calls which cost another grand, and the tribunal speaker said the evidence supplied was not admissable in his court. When I asked how much is an employee allowed to steal before you can sack them, he merely talked over me and gave her the judgement. I no longer pay anyone unless they are self employed. PAYE ruins peoples attitude to work as far as I'm concerned, and I believe everyone would be better off as self employed, they then want work. I have employed all kinds of people many nationalities and the best I have ever employed are Australians, who all believed they were expected to work for their pay, and they got on with the job, under any conditions, without whingeing, there only fault was, they went walkabout after 12 or 18 months to do the rest of europe. Then you had the problem of trying to find a replacement. The worst thing I have ever had to do was to sack 2 good guys. There was a change in business, in that there wasn't any, a deep recession took half of the turnover away, and we had to close down a workshop. I never felt good about that, even though there was nothing else to be done, I still feel sick thinking about it. I saw one of them some years later and we chatted for a few minutes and then went our seperate ways, they were both brothers who I had sacked but both were in employment then and happy enough to catch up with what myself and ex-business partner was now doing. Dulwich doll I sympathise with your position and am about to get 2 first aid boxes, and 2 fire extinguishes, for 'health'n'safety' a right load of bollocks in my opinion. Best of luck.

Thankyou for your input, Georgia dear! Cowboy anything is permitted during those youthful, innocent days, which are all too short. David I have always loved the shape, and indeed the ride, of the citroen it was a landmark in car design, and still looks good enough for the 21st century. Jeremy any way you like it. In your dreams, owned, or both. AllforNun you're not slipping back into those nasty little habits are you, dirty little devil,.......... lucky bar stud!

Which one, and why, what made it your favourite?

Jeremy wrote:--Barrett is a short-ish heavyweight, I don't know how he'd cope with East Euro giants like the Klitschkos and Valuev. If he's as tall as Mike Tyson 5'10 inches, he was the only heavyweight champion I remember to be under six feet, but Iron Mike proved that if you have knock-out drops in both hands, you only have to be tall enough to reach the chin.

Errrr, I don't drink tea or coffee either Declan......even if I don't live to a hundred, it'll certainly feel like I did. Have another go..............ah go on..........would you like tea SteveT? I think you must have been watching Father Ted, he has a housekeeper who sounds just like you Declan ah..go..on.

This thread also started with upper case now I think of it, I know it's only a pint, but I smell a rat. I think the fat controller should explain himself.

It feels like I've started another lot of "troubles". Keef wrote:- almost spat water over the screen when I read Oliver Cromwell! Oh Yeah, very likely, the chances of you spitting any fluid not containing alcohol up the screen is very remote. I do not know where Mattham's post came from, it seemed to appear sometime after I had put up the answer, as I had read that page a couple of times and completely missed it. Declan it does not really matter if I deserve the guinnness meself, as I have not had a drop pass me lips for 20 years or more. I'm TT. I shall not put up anymore of these intellectual challenges, if all you're gonna do is snarl at each other like a bunch of heathens.

Which team threw out their manager whilst they were at the top of the division, for not being successful enough?

Perhaps royalty was not the ideal choice, Jack was so greatly esteemed because he had touched so many Irish hearts. He illuminated something within them, of which they could be justly proud.
