Will there be a conductor in every underground carriage?

It is great telly. But obviously has nothing to do with recruiting an "Apprentice". Otherwise the shortlist would have been a little better. Amusing me at the moment is: Michael, who has dark, dead eyes - like a shark. Take a look. There's nothing there.. a pit of nothingness. Lucinda - the human equivalent of jelly. The bloke who keeps shouting "that's what I'm talking about". Personally I think Raef ought to be Prime Minister. To be such a prize plonker but still remain likeable is quite a feat.

It's just a TV show in which Sugar is cast as the star (in the Simon Cowell role) and in which the contestants are the stooges: carefully selected so they feed him material to fuel his grizzly testicle-headed on-screen persona.

You could visit the one in Streatham - not far away. The atmosphere there is an interesting mix: I'd say it's a cross between a retirement home, a motorway service station and a crematorium. But yes.. the food does come on plates.

The answer ought to be 'a dictionary' But I suspect in reality it's 'Playstation Games'

If Foxtons goes down the pan, they could turn in into a new-style McDs without having to re-paint or change the furniture.

It is interesting how these 'Mum' posts keep coming up. More small-scale evidence of how society saves its harshest moral judgements for women rather than men.. and mothers in particular.

We try to be drunk and in charge of kids as much as we can. We find it helps.

I thought it was an perfectly accurate portrayal of valuations. Don't you agree? Of course these days the valuation would be based on what the house next door didn't go for rather than what it did.

The valuations agents give are simply a balancing act between roughly what the property might go for (based on how much the one next door went for last week) and what the homeowner would like to get for it. The variables to add-in are (a) desperation of the agent to secure the business and (b)greed on the part of the homeowner, or © a mistaken belief that their home is actually nicer than it is. When a, b and c are are in play, you get a foolishly optimistic valuation. No toolkit required.

I can't believe how wrong I've been about Greggs! I shall never, ever buy another scotch egg from there as long as I live. Thanks, kford. I owe you one.

I'm astonished at your revelations, kford. Next you'll be telling me that Shoefayre doesn't target the designer end of the footwear market either?!

.. Colliers Wood, Elephant & Castle, Dalston. .. Romford. All the classy places.

Only a Greggs will do. I want the best. And a Shoefayre, maybe? Peacocks? Oooh.. now I'm dreamin'!

A top quality master bakers would also be a really plus on The Lane. Greggs, maybe?

I actually quite like W&S. If you're going to write a load of Estate Agents guff then at least make it entertaining.. and at least they get the photos right as well.

I'm liking the use of chicken wire to house the pots and pans. Allows storage of kitchen essentials without blocking the only source of natural light. Feels like you're in prison. Nice.

This certainly worked-out well under the last Tory government. I'm thinking in particular of the health service, the transport network, education etc etc. Looking forward to the next one.. won't be long now.

Someone might think you'd had one too many in Palmerston, did it on the way home and (having sobered-up the next day and realised your error) rushed out to cover the evidence. In any case the council might fine you for defacing council property - by way of one of their 'Nazi' wardens.

It's a great bit of design. Easy to understand why the Nazi's pinched it. Bryan Ferry was right on the money there.. though possibly he could have put his perfectly reasonable point a little better.

Carnell! You, Boy! Sit down. Not uppity, really. I just feel that if you're planning on telling other people to, like, go and check your history books, yeah..? then the least you can do is to make sure you've read your own first.

I think you're getting 'semantics' mixed-up with 'the facts' You're right though.. we do need to keep an eye on them. Otherwise one day we might find ourselves stuck with a government who sees fit to invade.. oh yeah..
