Do you own Square Plates?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I have a dilemma, *Bob* - are my 1930s square (with scalloped corner) tea plates naff?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Oval is not round - its oval. We dont call Kennington Oval, Kennington Round, do we? Roundy shapes are similar but different and are differentiated as such.

Trafalgar Square isnt square but its still a square, the same is true for Leicester Square. So a one dimensional pointy polygon is square whatever shape it is.

If you would like a magnificent Oval plate, on which you fit alot more food, I sourced mine from the Haberdashery shop opposite Morrisons in the Peckham Shopping Centre. So, elegant and dead common at the same time.

I dont think Peckham Shopping Centre is at the geographical centre of Peckham.

And Oxford Circus isn't round ...

[Michael Palaeologus]

But it does have scalloped corners. Go figure - as young people say. Tossers that they are.

[*Bob*]

Michael.. if you were forced at gunpoint to describe your so-called oval plates as either 'square' or 'round' - then I think we both know what your answer would be.

Remember that whilst I don't have a gun at present, I could easily get one down the pub or something.

[Michael Palaeologus]

"Shoot me you platist swine!" would be my response Bobby.

Nor is there a circus there, most disappointing really.

And there?s no bastard beach on The Strand either.

People come here on holiday promised circuses (one of them even suggest that there may be gherkins for the having) and beaches when in reality all you can get on a stroll between the Strand and Oxford Circus is sued, tickets to musical theatre, Chinese food, butplugs and comedy jesters hats. (in that order)

You?d have to go to Peckham for oval plates.

Buttplugs? Where?

[SeanMacGabhann]

You think that?s bad ? imagine how gutted I was when I went to Welwyn Garden City

It?s not in Wales for a start, if it?s a city it?s a very poor effort and garden suggests a degree of tranquility and greenery which frankly doesn?t exist

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Just don't visit Pratt's Bottom, Sean, you will be utterly disappointed.

Unless you want another butt plug.

I have driven through the village of Tiddleywink and more than one occasion (that is, twice) and, you've guessed it, not a wink or squidger to be seen.

[legalbeagle]

Badger's Mount was a disappointment too.

[Lawrence]

Luckily Iron Knob did not live up to it's name. It could have been embarrassing at best, painful at worst.

[Huguenot]

You'll be pleased to hear that with very little effort Crapstone lived up to expectations.

[GSJ57]

Upper Dicker wasn't half the fun I thought it would be.

[brum]

Penistone failed to rise to greatness either.

[legalbeagle]

Nor was Titlington Mount.

Shame.

[*Bob*]

Similarly, stay well away away from Blartington Clunge.

Terrible weather in that part of the world.

[woofmarkthedog]

Snodland..

Been through a dozen times

NEVER actually seen a "Snod"

One lives in hope though

( well sydenham, but..)

W**F

[Brendan]

Ramsbottom was actually quite nice although not for the evident reasons.

Nice church.

[*Bob*]

Don't get me wrong.. it's lovely at the height of summer, especially when the festival's on at Stonk Hill. But anytime after September, you're freezing your knackers off and there's only one pub - if you be bothered to drive to Cess.

Who said it was ?

That would be the Romans I believe.
