Any other Nationwide providers doing the flowers / chocolates thing that you could recommend ?

I think when people knock on your door they need to mindful that they're on YOUR property using up YOUR time and may be interrupting something YOU were busy with / enjoying. If You're not expecting a visitor, just ask through the door what they want. You shouldn't have to justify anything to uninvited strangers.

You were right Jeremy, it finished earlier than Hatton/Mayweather. Rees did get through to Broner in Rds 1 & 2 quite a bit, but in Rd3 it was all change and Broner dished-out some harsh punishment. Rees down in Rd4 from a great right uppercut, following which Gary Lockett the trainer (himself well beat by Kelly Pavlik a few years ago) told Rees he was pulling him out of the fight. Rees contested and was allowed out for the 5th, but it was, sadly, a one way street and well-timed left to the front body dropped Rees before the demolition proceeded and trainer Lockett threw in the towel. Early on, Rees had prospects in the fight but Broner adjusted and closed the show with scary precision. Broner's antics are sickening though, still pretending he didn't know Rees' name post-fight is plain bad taste.

Would be cool if he 'did a Honeyghan' though - that'd be SOOO sweet. Broner's remarkable but acts like a twat.

He's fought at 'world level' before, yes. But never someone as gifted as Broner. Rees could cause difficulties for Broner and in theory anyone can win a boxing match, but you have to anticipate a Rees loss. Some say Rees has faced better opposition but I disagree, Broner's last contest against De Marco was impressive - I like Rees but this fight is a much different prospect than fighting Derry Matthews for a domestic title !! I think Rees is at best European level, but it'd be interesting not see him against Kevin Mitchell or Ricky Burns. If you're a betting man than ?10 could reap returns for a Gavin REES win I suppose. Also, I thought the contest was Sat in USA ?

DaveR: admittedly the OP is not about to be shaved then gassed and incinerated. But the OP's feeling of being discriminated against and effectively forced-out of her (?) property is surely undeniable. The OP's analogy may not be perfect or appropriate, but not to the extent where she must be considered as deserving the situation the Govt has placed her under ?

Why not get bus to Peckham Rye ie. No. 12 ?

Most things we do / want to do won't cause our death if they don't happen !! Hardly the basis for deciding whether something is worth doing / thinking about !!

Currently I only drink vegan non-alcoholic beer, but thanks for the invite.

Red devil - there was NONE of THAT garb there !!

It's better to pretend someone else did it - single them out, give dirty looks, move away holding your nose...

For me people can do ALL this on trains and I don't care - as long as they just move down the fecking train when people are trying to get on. Biggest etiquette failure of all IMO. Everything else is fluff by comparison. If they don't move down so that you can get on, you won't see the fluff anyway. And people always look so surprised / offended, "oh look there's people trying to get on at this station, how weird".

EJTH - because it's processed food. That's why it's so hard.

No one thinks you are looking for approval. No one is making comments about you. They are just saying veggies lecturing at them all the time is a tiresome.

True Woodrot - which is why it's the evangelical ones that piss people off and therefore cop the grief.

Yeah one thing about Flip was colour, there was no shame in their stock - turquoises purples pinks reds greens etc. They sold these long thick sort of towelling socks in SO many shades, they lasted for years. Found a 2-tone suit at the weekend which I bought there, it shimmers between yellowy-green and deep blue, depending on the angle of light !

My sofa is from there - it was 2nd hand then ! It's f**ked now, just can't say goodbye to it. Great photos BTW. Used to spend hours in there.

Fukitt the veggies are out again trying to make everyone be like them.

Jeez man this dragged on to a SECOND page !

Wow, maybe at some point we were all on there on the same day and it was all sort of cool and stuff !

Peckham much closer than Brixton, so unless you've time to kill...

Perhaps they fear his old age / dementia makes him more prone to letting slip sensitive info that would damage 'the church'.

Yeah Laurence Corner was an institution !! It's I think a chemists or opticians now, but they've kept the name (or refer to it somewhere on the sign). Also the FLIP carrier bags were a great design, think I might have one in the loft - the sort of placcy bag you wouldn't chuck.

Bob Dylan

Yeah Quids I was gonna mention the Wag Club, I defo wore my FLIP clothes there, as did mates ! Also to Sol Y Sombra, Heaven and the Latin nights around Hoxton i.e. Bass Clef The fashion generally available then for me was weak, so FLIP was a perfect escape.
