Brendan A huge pint of foaming bothered for me please

Seasonal greetings feckless fool

Us people who manage our money properly get free banking thanks to those of you who breach an agreement you agreed with your bank around how much you could borrow through them without permission. The feckless are subsidising the prudent that strikes me as fair - in most other countries you have to pay for all withdrawhals, cheques etc, - we (almost) uniquely have free banking be coming the way of the prudent soon - thanks to people not being able to keep to a contract that made with their bank in order to borrow that banks money and then moaning about their inability to control their finances........

I was hoping for a bookies

I can't recommend keeping all your cash in sock under your mattress highly enough....alternatively I've heard in a biscuit tin by your kettle is good too

I think we should bring back fox hunting to SE22, every night the randy f*ckers are always at their extremley noisy couplings at 3am in the morning. GET RID.

First time I heard this rumour was in 1985, days after moving to Camberwell........guess who you hear it from the most? Estate Agents....I am ready to be proved wrong but 22 years of this makes you think "WOLF, WOLF", rather a lot. Dream on Camberwellites

Excellent - hopefully it will become a betting shop

Drink in Camberwell

LMFAO Anti-gambling tosh, my nan went to Bingo once a week until she died and it was on of her major pleasures in later life. Plenty of people like a flutter and enjoy it (and mainly don't win) without getting into any 'problems'......big business rant LOL....shall we picket Sainbury's? - they make a far bigger profit than William Hill and do, genuinely, put small businesses out of business - see the Dulwich Society thread for the effects that Sainsbury's opening on Dog Kennel Hill had on local businesses - I sugest you look at your own prejudices and stop trying to spoil what mllions of poeple like just cos it's not your thing....DO GOODER

swap "betting and gambling" with "alcohol" and let's get rid of all the pubs and bars too eh Fish

You been reading Dickens again?

Attilla "And the mother was breast feeding the baby in full view of the whole bar. Now, I,m not a prude and I understand it may be totally natural, but so is urinating and crapping, and you don't see people doing that in full view of punters drinking in a boozer" Have you ever eaten in a pub? personally I can't stand seeing people eating in pubs whilst i'm drinking I know it's natural burt so is crapping and pissing etc etc etc

mmmm.......nice middleclasspeople spending ?100 on an overpriced meal in a Lordship Lane eaterie is fine but working class people in a bookies Tssk, Tssk

er,,,that's where they are

Many of the restaurants on LL are hardly overflowing.......

To next Sunday - get a paper Do the lottery, pools, the best priced outsider at evvery betting shop, go through the card at every meeting on saturday, and a few similar bets, retire on New Year's Eve

I presume it's a tournament? Are you playing limit or no limit?

Last at the Library, first at the Emirates, la di la di la

Betting or babies.....I'd go for betting

The beginning of the 1980s? No way - it first started at the 1990 World Cup and accelerated beyond control at "Euro '96". I was at University at the 1982 World Cup and in our hall of residence I remember perhaps 5 or 6 of us watching England games...and definitely no birds..........now everyone from the home counties, birds and all, support one of the predictables..."Oooh I like Chelsea they had lots of Italian players when I started liking Footie"..."Oh Arsenal look good, Melvyn Bragg and Nick Hornby support them"....my families from Mile End, my nan sulked 'cos her dad wouldn't let her go to Wembley in 1923 whilst her brothers bunked in over the gates....I don't have a choice and wouldn't have it any other way Piers - I'll let you off as you're a Hammer

Anyone ever go to it when it was in the antique Shop on camberwell road (near Wyndham Road)?....BYOB...the Secret Garden...the best Sunday Roast EVER FACT...

Just to be old school......IT'S FOOTBALL NOT FOOTIE.......that's it, you can go back to your prawn sandwiches now.... *yearns for the days when 'footie' wasn't a middle class badge of honour

Singapore is plastic, money obsessessd and has knocked down its heritage for shopping malls, truly one of the most sterile and awful places I have visited.....but it is safe.......oh, by the way, ask all the thousands of Thai whores in Singapores multiple brothels how free and nice Singapore is. Will never go back there again, hideous place full of western moneytraders and their eastern cpounterparts...... but it is safe. *pukes

I think he only ever wore shorts too, whatever the weather, he decoreated the outside of his place on Camberwell Church Street interetingly too
