Wish I worked opposite you in The Office (if indeed it is an Office that you work in;-)) The "Banter" is the only thing I miss (and I DO miss it!) from my 20+ Office years....

Ken merely forced many poorer Motorists off the road who travelled INTO the Congestion AReas, whereas, the rich, "by definition". are in a much better position to pay...and he's a Socialist:)

Forgive the thought-crime. I fear the worst for you here Sir, with that kind of attitude! "travel where they please"-- "bogus tax"- Its that kind of free thinking that will be frowned on by a significant number My Son !:)) What are you, some kind of ageing Hippy? p.s Red Ken never did explain how the Congestion Tax would not BLATANTLY affect the poor the most, for obvious reasons! p.s Lucky he's a Socialist..roflmao:))

Just say Yes! Are you going to be like this all bleedin' day ?:(

Stephen Fry - wit, writer, raconteur, actor and quiz show host .......and brilliant at most/all of them:)-D I meant every word. Its re-assuring that England/Britain can still produce a "Genius" or two. Have to say what an amazing legacy Jewish people have brought to this Country-In Entertainment, Finance, Business and many other Areas. So many seem to excel in whatever they do. Stephen is a splendid personification of this/that:) p.s Are YOU "taking the mick" pretending you are not in awe of him, ,lyke wot I am??

No point raking up old graves (as Gareth used to say in "The Office" but this was a REALLY tricky one Mick imo. Its has to be good that ANY Government won the day as the alternative doesn't bear thinking about, chaos would have ensued and it would not have been organised! Basically Scargill wanted to bring down the Tory Government and failed, unfortunately the great Mining Communities went in the mix. That is the difficult bit as it was disastrous to those Communities. I worked in The National Coal Board fpr 16 years in the midst of that and it wasn't pleasant. For much of the time I was based off Fleet Street and witnessed first-hand the abuses that Maggie T. wanted to stamp out i.e. 1/ The Newspaper Managers losing all control of their Business to the all powerful Union Barons. 2/ 6 people often doing thejob that "2" could do..."Over to you Fred, go on Harry, ready Ted, Thanks Bill, Ron???...Come on Dave!" etc etc 3/ Guys signing on for 6 hours Night Shift and going off "Moonlighting" in their Black Cabs thru' the night.. 4/ 5 hour "Lunch" Breaks 5/ Marches down Fleet Street every other week "Maggie, Maggie,Maggie, Out!, Out!, Out!";-) Same for The London Docks...Red Kens Joke that was The Greater London Council.... She sorted them all out, as well. Ageing Printers I still know from those days regarded working in the Print as a "Holiday Camp" back then, Maggie ended their playtime.

Multi-Talented Brit- Makes one very proud to breathe the same air as Stevie F.>:D

STOP PRESS: SENSATION! Liverpool awarded "dodgy" Penalty at Anfield...just like they have been given, on countless occassions in 1963,1964,1965--1970--1971,1972-1980,1981,1982-1990,1991,1992--2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009----

Agree with all the above. Personally I'm up for a Revolution. Haven't witnessed a "proper" one in my lifetime in perfidious Albion and would like to be in the thick of it before one pops ones clogs...

Having lived thru' MacMillian, Douglas-Hume, Wilson, Heath, Callaghan, Thatcher, Blair and Brown one is totally bored with Politics one must say.

Any Party that will continue our proud Benefits Culture and removes as much freedom from the individualas possible is fine by me, as I believe "The Government knows best"... Oh! and can we please have more CCTV-I advocate one for every room for every house to negate and destroy the likelihood of private Domestic abuse. A CCTV Camera for every 20 yards in every street would be deirable too.(providing funds are available).. As for the Parties: Lib Dems: I would have offered massive odds that they would not be so out of touch with the electorate to have voted Menzies Campbell as their Leader, but I was wrong, as they did. Now if Charles Kennedy was their leader again, THAT would add 5 points to their vote, imo. The electorate's memory is only so long. Few thought Labour would ever get in again after their disastrous Administrations, culminating in the "Winter Of Discontent" but they did... Basically I'd vote for any Party that finally removes all power from our little Government and hands it, in its entireity, to those nice people in Strasbourg and Brussels. We also need more Human Rights and more rights for anyone caught committing any crime. Abolish all prisons, as well. Lets have a free-for-all with the last Man standing....

Great school. Wish I'd gone there.

Finally, after 8 and a half years of waiting, becoming the first person in my side of the Industry I was in, to gain a Redundancy Package, which I was, eventually, able to use to start my own Business doing something that was my Hobby and I would pay to do.

Listening to a complete set of untalented and unfunny strangers talking about nothing in particular......yet millions have watched. Interesting that until recently only 2 Women had won out of 88 Worldwide contests.

To the wider Public it puts "Dulwich" on the map. Say "Dulwich" to those who live afar and they might well say "Alleyns" / "Dulwich College" and The Village, possibly The Horniman Museum..

Am I on the wrong Forum here? People mentioning "reality"...since when did most people's (away from the cloistered enclaves and environs of the genteel East Dulwich) have ANYTHING to do with the "reality" of life for many people? Come with me Dear Reader on a Guided Tour (I HAVE been there) of The Aylesbury and Heygate Estates at The Elephant, then entering the epi-centre of Peckham's five remaining Estates, with a jaunty sojourn off to The Angell Town Estate in Brixton followed by THe Ferrier at Kidbrooke, the whole of Erith and most of Thamesmead then The Elmington at Camberwell, half of Stockwell etc etc and then we'll just begin to get a flavour of the everyday existence of many people, a millon metaphorical miles away from here, it seems...

I bet you played a fair "Peaseblossom" though TM.....tls exeunt...

Excellent idea Rosie! Thought the prospect of Ladies carrying the bags was a bit surreal but other than that...:)
