OK ED new age organic mums, I have no problem with breast feeding in Public, why should you be relegated to the back room toilets to breast feed your child? but WHY do some of your INSIST parking the triple baby buggy in the window of Cafe Nero and breast feeding your child in full view of the bus stop outside the window? My daughter (7) was on her way to school when some woman decided to feed her child at 8:00am in full view of 7 school children waiting for their bus, TOTALLY inappropriate, selfish, stupid and arrogant!!. Two of the girls filmed the event on their mobile phones and are considering posting on You Tube, as a parent, I gave them my blessing. So watch out for Cafe TittyLatte on You Tube this weekend. Maybe they will have more consideration?

Ondine is so right, East Dulwich is literally going downhill. In fact I am surprised you moved to Camberwell. Due to the high incidents of severe subsidence in this area, if you stayed a bit longer, your house would have probably gently moved towards Camberwell anyway.
Has a father I would not to upset that my child had witnessed a baby being breastfed, but would be worried about sending one so young with a mobile on a bus, recent attempted abdunction of girls of that age see other threads. My very large and tough sons have both had mobiles taken off them at gunpoint so suggest not always good idea for your child to have one unless it looks like a brick. Also would be worried about them having access to youtube at that age!
Actually you'd be surprised how many people still object to breastfeeding in public. Strangely enough, it's usually women. Men seem to get either sheepish about it, or try to cop a quick look; kids for the most part are curious, and women seem to have sharply divided opinions on it.
I b/fed my babies here, there and everywhere but chickened out on the terrace of the House of Commons, where I made my loud and grabby 9 month old suffer the indignities of a bottle. She was not impressed and kept hauling my shirt up, outraging the crusty MPs around us. She's 9 now and I'm sure she'd be happy to enlighten Cowbear's littl'un. After snatching her mobile of course, since we're SE5 rednecks.

How true, Ganapati.

My guess would be that, on the one hand, men see knockers as a bit of fun. Jugs are paraded in front of them on a daily basis in the tabloids. Girls in the street are happy to display the lions share of their melons in skimpy clothing for all the see.. and many a simple fella has been cheered by way of a sideways glipse of some finely-shaped hooters (through a pair of mirrored sunglasses)


I dunno. Maybe women are just less mature about these things.

Hardly - I don't intend it. I'd had a few glasses of wine. I think comments like that are too easily ignored though. I know it was said in favour of the argument but it's the fact of women being seen as objects even though it may be unconscious. I'm no rabid feminist. I don't mean to be incitive - I was bringing attention to a throw-away comment.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
