I've said b4 Wolfie. The A.A. Man patrolling The Brixton Area arrived with an axe back in 1988 (?) !!

When I worked for Lewisham Council prospective Council Tenants were directed to North Lewisham, which I understood to be, Deptford! Cab Drivers would rarely want to venture "South" of the River back in the day (not sure about now) and when I did some Mini-Cabbing no-one ever said "take me to Brixton" though I had plenty of fares requesting "S.W.2"..

I once did a U-Turn back into Whitehall from Piccadilly Circus via Trafalgar Square when Northumberland Avenue was closed and the traffic was humungous. Heard the Police sirens and sure enough was nabbed, and as I was already on 9 Points, I was in great trouble. All my street savvy told me to get as far away from The Female PC as possible, and seperate the two Officers, as one wuld be very conscious about being lenient in front of the other one. I would have had no chance, but I pleaded with the PC who told me that "that was the most outrageous piece of driving that I have ever seen":X... I managed to talk my way out of a Ban and he told me to "Piss Off"...as I tried to profusely Thank him he re-iterated, more forcefully, "Piss Off!"..and I did and I have never got any points since in the last 9 years. Thanks a million to the flexibility and trust of that Officer.

You're more than a kind Matt. I reckon Anna was giving it "The Big 'Un" personally...:'(

South London is responsible for 49% of all the crime on the National Rail Network so yer cannae blame 'em.

When In Rome etc...had you been to the Dickens Inn b4 Mike? Did you have any great expectations and did the Pub live up to them, if you did?

Having praised you Sean, I now find that I have to mildly admonish you as I have to, politely, request that all posters remain "on topic" at all times. Thank You. Well said-Ed.

Mike you were clearly influenced by the alcohol and you are now full of remorse so nobody will blame you here M8. You are amongst friends.

Sorry but I Haven't A Clue why nobody else hasn't objected to this reference to Humphrey. Mis-spelling of that fine fellow Humphrey LYttleton surely disqualifies PGC's thread-winning move?

You, undoubtedly, did wrong bY lowering yourself to his level, but you have, obviously, learnt and grown mentally and spiritually from that traumatic experience so well done M8.

Usually LL replies 2/3 weeks after initiating a thread, but if "she" is really, really "desperate", as in the recent request to locate a South London Musician (Stevie Smith), then "she" only takes a week or two to reply..:)

I'm initiating this thread as a form of catharsis, admittedly. I, like another Forumite, also put "11" items in a basket in a queue that was quite clearly marked "10 items or under-Express Service" at my local Supermarket last week and still feel the need for emotional cleansing, hence this thread. There was absolutely no excuse for me and its far too late for me to make it up to all those fine folk who were inconvenienced behind me, but have you ever done anything wrong that you would care to publicly admit to ?

It may be "elementary" but Matthew is right to highlight this. Getting a bit cocky after the last fortnight, ain't yer, Anna? p.s. Mind you, I'd luv it, REALLY luv it if you beat United........now where was that quote from?:))

To use your current vernacular..... Fook Off Sean(!)

ManU "thrive on adversity"? First back-to-back Premiership defeats for 6 Seasons....:) The break must impact on the team with momentum, think "Tim Henman v Goran" before the rain came at Wimbledon a few years ago. Goran was all washed off but used the enforced break to recharge and "regroup"....
