Nice inside. It's like the Tardis :)

Harry seems quite popular but not popular enough to knock football off Saturdays. Should have given us a Bank Holiday :)

Over a year ago in the Southwark plan it said ... "The vacant Grove Tavern to become a new care home, if a new pub, restaurant, or business doesn?t move in" https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/65-sites-earmarked-development-new-southwark-plan/

there's a European interloper amongst our bluebells ... and it's not Guy Verhofstadt https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2017/06/spanish-bluebells-whats-the-problem/

Where I grew up there was almost infinite garlic in the woods - but here there aren't enough woods and it's definitely finite. City living needs people to be considerate.

shovelling some kind of coal sludge stuff in Abernant Colliery. Not sure why it even needed to be shovelled :) Summertime fill in job basically doing anything

A good ghost story at school is great Only gets you if you enter the school at night :)

I call Dave as a Russian Troll ... as the government has proved their productivity has improved 4000% recently. A real growth industry.

I hated London water when I moved here - i'm used to it now :) My kettle is full of limescale though - I just replace in the end.

Just buy some if you want some for the garden https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=wild+garlic+plants&index=aps&tag=googhydr-21&ref=pd_sl_69k22jpid4_b&adgrpid=54736706538&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=259071934291&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8401550895387626672&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045882&hvtargid=kwd-488364111512

Just buy it - it's only the cost of a pint https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=wild+garlic+plants&index=aps&tag=googhydr-21&ref=pd_sl_69k22jpid4_b&adgrpid=54736706538&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=259071934291&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8401550895387626672&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045882&hvtargid=kwd-488364111512

What are foolish oldies. I think some people may see me as that as I 'm single, no children and sometimes irresponsible (compared to my friends with families).

I want to sent Theresa May a message from London.

Game of Thrones changed that word for me I think - and they tended to use it in it's original meaning.

No charges but the crossbow was confiscated https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/grandmother-fires-crossbow-machete-wielding-12382814 Didn't even know crossbows were legal - as it was confiscated I suppose they aren't

Beggars now get "Everything goes on the debit card" I don't carry cash (I usually add that most Londoners are stopping carrying cash) and the youths - well this guy was cautioned and had to dispose of the gun - so I reckon the parents of the kids should be cautioned. http://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/2018-04-16/man-cautioned-after-birds-illegally-shot-in-scarborough/

I thought Blue Tit were more expensive than that - but it's correct, Mind, Sometimes I get the No2 Shears out and do my own - but you can never get the neck line right alone - Some barbers use the cut throat for that.

The above was a joke so ... :) But we've been warned to expect a Russian Cyber attack within weeks https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/syria-news-latest-russia-could-launch-cyber-warfare-within-days-after-usled-military-action-expert-a3814226.html

People will though as the more publicly and louder you moan the quicker someone at senior level will say "sort it out I don't care how" whilst people who make little fuss get put to the back of the queue. I once effectively agreed to edit a bad review as part of a settlement. Trust Pilot is the review site of the moment - and to be fair lots of good reviews as well as bad (and bad reviews are intrinsically more likely IMHO). Edit: The caveat is that serial complainers eventually get their comeuppance

You just know Assad won't change anything.

So the S400 remained Off as it were. "the Russian Ministry of Defence said it had consciously not engaged its own defence systems."
