Always the logical place to build a crossing (as opposed to Temple).

Some cruel people on twitter tracking her jet back.

A long flight for Priti Patel back to London just to be sacked by the look of it.

They can put it in the shops but we don't have to buy it I suppose. "One of Donald Trump?s most senior advisers has told Britain it must scrap EU food standards on genetically modified crops and chlorine-washed chicken if it wants a successful post-Brexit deal with the US." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/us-brexit-eu-uk-trade-deal-wilbur-ross-commerce-secretary-imports-exports-european-union-a8040571.html

Hey Student researchers - try looking right back to the 70s for the boom time of the Co-op. The Co-Op in Swansea was once THE place to go for meeting Santa at Christmas and it had the best cafe in Swansea too. Could we say the same about Co-ops in SE London. Anyway I live in the Co-op on Rye Lane (or I assume one was here or the name makes no sense) maybe have a look.

The government is a little chaotic at present Priti Patel up to something in Israel over the summer and Theresa May has just found out - she's reprimanded "in person" - does that mean over tea in No10 Boris talking his usual stuff - but seems someone got hurt this time - reprimand incoming no doubt. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2017/nov/06/cbi-tells-may-that-business-needs-clarity-over-brexit-transition-by-christmas-politics-live

Hushabye Mountain is the Audi advert I think.

HH appears to be in a little trouble at the moment. She walked right into a trap last week when she actually told an anti-semitic joke on TV - even though it's written down as a (bad) example in her book and it was then quoted in all the newspapers (whats the difference between them quoting her and her quoting her own book ?). You could see Michael Portillo cringe behind her and Andrew Neil fume (she said he and his sort would like it).

it'll be like those dating forums where time wasters are listed. oooh errr. if you never trust anyone you'll never get let down (in this case that means don't bother to go out of your way for anybody - let them fit around you) :)

The MPs are still at it - it's like Carry on Camping. "She was said to have alleged that between five and seven years ago he made a crude remark when she said she had cold hands. ?I know where you can put them to warm them up,? he allegedly said." https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/uproar-as-mps-say-leadsom-warm-your-hands-up-leak-came-from-top-tories-a3675691.html

Sky mentioned this morning that the John Major Back to Basics scandals were mainly affairs - but by Tories who advocated marriage and were thus hypocritical "In the Major years, ministers lost their jobs once they were revealed to have had extra-marital affairs after a "back to basics" briefing was misinterpreted. In the May years, an affair might get you on a "dossier" of Westminster gossip but wouldn't necessarily cost you your job. At least not yet. (The "dossier", by the way, includes some names that, as far as I know, shouldn't be on it and at least one case of mistaken ministerial identity)." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-41847718

"Kids like different ones" I always chose the opposite of my sibling sister :)

Sky seem to be chasing Jeremy Corbyn up a street again whilst he pointedly ignores them. Deja Vu

The list (40 Tory MPs accused of impropriety) being mentioned a lot on Sky News today. Michael Fabricant is on it (he allegedly did something to a male journalist in a taxi) he wonders why the list is Tories only. As many have said on Twitter - It feels very like a Whips blackmail list :)

Jesus - Some(junior MPs especially) now claiming Gavin Williamson fancied the job and appointed himself. Theresa May too weak to stop him https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2017/nov/02/theresa-may-seeks-fallon-replacement-as-davidson-calls-for-wider-clearout-of-sexist-politicians-politics-live http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/gavin-williamson-appointed-defence-secretary-to-replace-sir-michael-fallon_uk_59faddf2e4b0415a42098e28 Can't be true. Nick Timothy denies it though so maybe it is "Gavin Williamson was TM?s campaign manager and has been a brilliant chief whip. The idea he appointed himself is absurd. She rates him."

Gavin Williamson (was chief whip) new Sec of Defence. As he walked in the press pack were shouting "Do you hold up to the highest standards Mr Williamson"

He's droning on again about the evils of political correctness and getting rid of the diversity lottery program. He's also considering sending this attacker to Guantanamo Bay. and tax cuts loads of them.

Bottom line: If the food is quality - I'll buy it if price isn't exorbitant, if not I won't and will try something else.

There is a 'thing' of people taking things left on the street - especially if near/in bins. But using common sense you get a feeling for things that haven't been left to take and a court would have that feeling too (a scooter near the gateway of a house - my common sense says not to take unless to return).
