Quite Interesting, if you like that sort of thing...


Been in "Just having a look" but it's one of those places, like a builders yard, or an operating theatre, that unless you fully understand the language, and it's relavence to what's on display you are made to feel as welcome as a fart in a space suit...

At a recent wedding, the proprietor of the venue had a basement office full of tin soldiers, remnants from the old tin soldier business he used to have in Elephant & Castle. Apparently a lot of odd people or kids of veterans with wartime memorabilia would pop in with stuff for sale.

He showed me some of his special favourites, the bullet from Gettysburg and Mussolini's toilet paper, but my eye couldn't help but stray towards SS lapels, little swastika flags and so forth. I have to say that I did have that cold sweat Falling Down moment.


I was most relieved to make it out of there into the light of day.

There is a gift shop at the site of the tomb of mussolini in Predappio, where you can get all sorts of stuff


I was tempted by a T shirt with "Meglio di vivere un giorno da leone che cento anni da pecora" (better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep) but all the cash goes to the fascist party, so I resisted

I went to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp on the eastern side of Berlin many years ago, and was shocked to see a gift shop and restaurant/cafe serving up sausages and beer! I was not amused at the time, but I guess it goes to show that the German people have moved on so much.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By first mate · Posted

      Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.

      Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
