The programme I referred to is people suing councils for tripping up, getting hit by a branch falling from a tree etc, and claiming they're doing it for 'justice'. Rubbish.

There's another thread I'm sure to be had about how the council may or may not be responsible but...


I enjoyed shouting at the telly.

What I don?t get is why people look for ways to sue their local council. Ok fine if they have been blatantly negligent and driven a lorry through you front room or something. But some troglodyte who trips down some stairs and then decides to sue the organisation to whom he pays a couple of hundred quid a month to provide him with a liveable environment thereby putting more financial pressure on the council and indirectly himself which inevitably leads to his environment being worse and him being more prone to accidents.


I?m not sure if it is because people are selfish or stupid or both.


I also have a sneaking suspicion that they do this sort of thing just to piss me off.

    • Just for information: I see that the Licensing Sub-committee has the Tesco application as item 1 on their 24 July meeting agenda.  https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=8329. The officer's report to the committtee provides a good succinct summary.  I see, from (original) p.31 of the full public pack, (or more conveniently the supporting documents) that Tesco Legal Dept on 12 June reported that they'd agreed with the police's suggested conditions to be attached to the licence, and the police accordingly withdrew their own representation.  That leaves just one representation, from a member of the public, to be dealt with on the day. I still think it's not necessarily to be presumed that Tesco will definitely be taking over the premises.  I see that Poundland themselves were granted an off-sales licence on 21 Feb 2023, and surrendered it on 3 July 2025.  I'm not sure they actually ever used it themselves.  Did they? https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026.pdf is a full statement of the policy and its application, for thems as is interested.
    • I'm now just following David Peckham around, posting laughing emojis on all his comments.   
    • Well, quite. Do you know where your lad's going tonight?
    • I'd get rid of duty free shopping.  Nothing to do with tourist tax but something I hate.  All that glitz as you try to get through to Wetherspoons in the departure lounge.  No great savings over on line or even at times supermarkets, and the hypocrisy of selling cheap cancer sticks. Ok back to tourist tax
