Why should private sector salaries be higher? I would prefer it if my public services were run by the best minds and leaders, not the rejects.

Used to see her all the time in the 90s when I lived on Lyndhurst Grove. That pic brings back memories!

Sons of Anarchy. Just went passed Nunhead!

I got two weeks full pay for both of mine. Homeless charities at the time.

They'll need to find a plot with a car park will they not? That could be the deal destroyer.

Best of luck with it. Moving further away is actually much, much nicer IMO.

Moved to Bromley and bought a doer upper. 4 bed house. ?300k.

I don't get the hatred. Jealousy perhaps?

What a great start to the day!

Perhaps it's time to take the streets again? We did it in the 80s and it ultimately did for Thatcher!

I also wish him well, but will refrain from having a little dig at him along side it!

Like Keef says, Germany faired ok without them being under the NATO treaty where the ethos was an attack against one is an attack against all, if I am not very much mistaken. I sort of meant nowadays really? I guess I am undecided on it, but it strikes me that they are a weapon that can only ever be used once everyone, or nearly everyone in the country is dead or dying or wiped out. Just don't get what the point would be in using them under this scenario and therefore keeping them. Does NATO have the same ethos as the cold war?

Slightly off topic, but can anyone explain to me the argument for keeping nuclear weapons and the huge expense that goes with it, as I cannot grasp it.

Oink

One would have to question his judgement.......

Traffic is bad because of the redevelopment at the bottom of Loampit Vale. Given this is the case I would say there is no easy way by road. I would also use the train!

Queues are long, but produce is cheaper and better generally. I prefer Aldi - better wine!

Then God help us all

They'll hound him until he snaps.

Baked Beans in a shepherds pie?

Corks popping down my way! I am overwhelmed with joy! It's time to call out the Tories on their unfairness and targeting of the vulnerable. Ending the social cleansing of London resonates very strongly.
